Please Help. Checkout Processing Takes About A Minute.

I just finished testing on “Test Payment” gateway. About the same waiting time when testing on “PayPal Standard” gateway.

I really like EDD plugin – product display, handling item in cart … they all go smoothly without tiny glitch. But not the final step – checkout process time to complete transaction. 🙁

I noticed there’s new version for EDD and I updated its latest version 2.1.4. Then, I did same steps to test checkout process by “Test Payment” and “PayPal Standard” gateways.

Same result – took about a minute to complete transaction.

I pasted System Info below and many thanks for your help.

Here’s my System Info –

Hi Pippin!

I just bought cheap hosting and domain this afternoon to test EDD plugin. I really don’t wanna give up EDD. And I did as you suggested – testing it on live server – my new hosting (now, I got hosting finally … Yay!!!).

Now checkout processing time is way faster than on localhost. It’s like .. uh … Whoosh-Whoosh fast. 🙂 All is well now.

Not enough to say it again, but thank you so so much for all your help and wish you all the best.
