I’m closing this ticket, as we updated our code on Github with an improved function that serializes server requests to optimize server load. It will be released here on the WP repo sometime next week.

Hi @fmh2016

Please note that the Ajax request, needed to track your user activity (since you’re caching your website), is asynchronous and will be executed AFTER most of your web page has been rendered by the browser. So, the time your tools are measuring is not most probably affecting the actual load time. Unless you have other code that is moving the Slimstat tracker to the HEAD section of your page (unlikely). You can also tweak the settings (see Maintenance tab) to increase your db performance, even though that will require 30% more db space.

Please let me know if this answers your concerns.

Hi @inndesign,

something must have gone wrong during installation or maybe you updated from a quite old version of the plugin? No worries, you can go through these step-by-step instructions to fix that issue:

Thank you for your kind words!!

Thank you for experimenting with this. It’s really helpful information. I can definitely look into the countdown timer not working with autorefresh, it must be a bug. As for the performance issue, it feels like the security plugin is detecting too many requests in a short period of time (which is caused by the concurrent ajax requests initiated by the various reports) and it slows them down. Maybe it makes sense to stagger requests over a few seconds, so that they don’t happen all at once. I can definitely look into implementing that. In the meanwhile, does it work better if you disable Async mode?

@mhanu70 I’m not an expert in GDPR regulations (so much to learn!), but my overall understanding is that as long as they are informed that a COOKIE is being setup on their machine, then the ping should not require any extra warnings on your end. But again, you may want to ask an expert (and maybe report back so that others in the same situations know how to proceed).

Please consider writing a review for Slimstat as a token of appreciation for the support you received. It would be a nice way to say thank you and to let people know how much you value this plugin:

This configuration looks fine to me, more than enough to handle the kind of load that Slimstat adds to the system to record page views and other information. Are they both hosted on the same provider?
