Slows down my site

    Hi there, this plugin works fine for my woocommerce site, but it’s slows down loading all pages, even if i load pages without widgets areas to load. If i deactivate this plugin all pages load very fast from 8-10s to 1-2s.

    I have a widget area only for product categories pages and with Display Widgets plugin i choose an image and a list of product cat (childs) for each page.

    I’m doing right? This is the reason that slows down my site? What else ca i tried?

    Thanks in advance!

    Very strange seeing as how when u look at this plugin’s code s/he isn’t doing anything special that could slow things down. However, i do wonder now if by it stripping certain widgets there is still associating js code (still running by another widget) that is stuck in an infinite loop (ie, blocking entire page view for a time period) waiting for a missing widget to show and then gives up (hences 8-10s vs 1-2s). That is likely what is happening. So i’d bet if you re-enable this plugin but try disabling one by one your other plugins you possibly will be able to find who is really causing it.

    Btw, have you considered using a page caching plugin to help speed ur page loads? Seems unnecessary for your site to recalc everything for every page view. If you already are then it gives more weight to my hypothesis above since js will block entire page views while loading and running (from a js file) and a missing widget might be what it is looking for (stuck waiting)
