IWP brings server to a halt – slow performance
-
I’ve run into a performance problem with using Infinite WordPress, and I’d like to know if others have this same problem and if they’ve found a workaround to the problem.
When you login to the server side of InfiniteWP, the first thing the program does is access the index/home page of every website you’ve got configured in the system. Well, I’ve got 50+ websites configured in one of my installations, and IWP immediately loads 50+ websites all running on the same server. The settings where you tell it to only perform a few actions simultaneously do not change this behavior of it loading every single websites home page within a single second of time.
And, in the case where you’ve got WordFence configured to run automated scans, and other wp-cron jobs that haven’t run for a while, it results in a few dozen sites competing for server resources all within the same second, and it basically brings the server to a grinding halt for EVERYONE. My workaround to this is that I have to restart the Apache web server (http) about 5 seconds after I login to IWP each time. This essentially aborts this process of loading all the home pages by IWP.
But it sure is a pain to have to perform this workaround every time I login to IWP after not having done so for more than 24 or 48 hours.
Once I’m logged in, I can run the “Reload Data” function and it will honor the settings of only connecting to one or two websites simultaneously. And once it actually gets through the process, all of the WordFence scans and various wp-cron jobs are completed with no overload happening on the server. It can be slow, but at least it works.
Anyone else found a way to keep IWP from loading all the home pages upon logging in?
