Tracker slowness issues

On the count, given the hits that you told me you receive, I would expect the count to be high as each time you get a visit you should get a count. But this is specific to server load or it’s generic.

1. The plugin already tracks using JS. But the JS then needs to write to the DB to capture the hit.

2. You can install Query Monitor to check the queries on your site. It also shows the slower queries but I don’t think you can easily capture the tracker cause it’s JS driven. I’m not sure if there is way for QM to track those.

If you’re okay to ignore the daily hits for a bit, you can disable the daily tracker in the Settings page and also remove your weekly widget. Then you can only use the overall widget. This reduces one DB write.

Another thing to try, although I believe less optimum is to try one of the other trackers in the Settings page.
