Support » Plugin: Fetch Tweets » Huge database, fetch tweets slows it down over time?

  • I have a WordPress installation that is rapidly growing with over 10k+ posts. Fetch Tweets is loaded once on every single post to retrieve tweets based on the post title. Then it caches the page completely for future visitors. Now when I activate the plugin, the website was fast on both backend and frontend. But over time, the site slows down even though it is on an high-end server. Just loading the plugin overview page, takes 5+ seconds where it would load instantly otherwise.

    When I deactivate and reactivate the Fetch Tweets plugin, all works really fast. But then over time (days) it slows down slowly again. This happens with both the WP cron and Intense caching methods of the plugin.

    I understand this is hard to troubleshoot, but is it possible for you to give me some pointers on where to start?

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    Hi,

    Another user has reported a similar issue. It could be that the plugin caching sub-routine running in the background is affecting your server performance and the page loads. I’m not sure. Sorry.

    I’m planning to overhaul the caching mechanism of the plugin with a custom database table. But this requires me to have certain amount of sufficient time for coding.

    If you really need it soon, send me an email via the contact form. We can talk about it.

    Thank you.

    Hi again,

    Thanks for the response 🙂
    I’m fine with resetting the plugin once in a while. Take your time and let me know if you need some sample data or whatever to test with.

    Cheers

    v2.5.0 now has a refined caching mechanism and may solve your issue.
