Suggestion Slow Post/Page Update

    I noticed issues on 2 of our WordPress sites where creating or updating a post or page took about ~6 seconds on one site and about ~12 seconds on the other site, as opposed to the normal 1-2 second range. While troubleshooting I noticed this even happened when no changes were made, and the page/Post was updated.

    The fix (on v4.6.1) was WP-Optimize > Cache > Purge the cache > Uncheck “Automatically preload content after it is purged“. This feature not only [reloads a page/post when the Cache is purged, but also when one is updated (“Automatically preload pages when a post or page … [is updated].”)

    Some suggestions to make this smoother if you find anyone else is running into the same issue:

    Split the checkbox Automatically preload content after it is purged into 2 checkboxes:

    IDEA 1
    – Automatically preload content after it is purged 
    – Automatically preload content after it is updated

    IDEA 2
    Add a button in the Page/Post editor sidebar “Preload Content After Update”.


    IDEA 3
    Add a popup when a post/page is updated, “Please wait a moment while WP-Optimize preloads your new content”.

    Hi,

    Thanks so much for the feedback! We do have a little tooltip that can appear beside the checkbox “Automatically preload content after it is purged” that mentions that when content is purged or updated it will preload in the background and can result in longer than expected save times.

    However it could be a good idea to make this text more clear to the users rather than relying on them to hover over the tooltip. I’ll pass this along to Product Management to see if we can improve the way this messaging is delivered in the plugin.

    Thanks again for your valuable feedback, it’s greatly appreciated!
