    Hi,

    i recently used the P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)-Plugin and found out, that the custom sidebars plugin effects page performance a lot as it is responsible for 24.49% of page loading time. This is very high rate.

    Below you will find the performance rates of the several plugins running on my blog. Is it possible to decrease the performance level of your plugin i.e. by using a Cache Plugin like W3 Total Cache? Which files should be minified / loading asynchronously without breaking the frontend display of the sidebars?

  • Hi Nick,

    I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

    I could reproduce the same result on my test site using P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)-Plugin therefore i have notified this to the plugin developer to get his invaluable reply regarding why it is taking this much loading time and how it can be optimized or whether there is anything wrong with P3 Performance Profiler plugin.

    The plugin developer will reply here shortly.

    Thanks,

    Thank you, i will stay tuned.

    Hi @nick,

    thanks for that valuable feedback! I have already optimized several aspects of the plugin but did not do an actual benchmark so far. Using P3 and own debugging code we will hopefully find some bottlenecks and can optimize the performance in the next release.

    Thanks, Philipp from WPMU DEV

    Cool, I would really like to stick with your plugin!

    You are always welcome here, if we can be of any further assistance please don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

    Just to add my input…I also use your plugin, and I also profiled my site with P3, and Custom Sidebars is my highest resource hog of all my plugins. And yes, we all have a lot of sidebars, because that’s the need that the plugin fills. (I have posts of teacher profiles, and each post page NEEDS an individual sidebar for each individual’s profile, which are unique) So obviously cutting down on sidebars defeats the purpose of the very good plugin (except that it takes forever for pages to load) I’m exaggerating, I know. Don’t send me a bunch of troubleshooting proceedures, I’ve done them all already.

    So I’m hanging on also…waiting for an update that will hopefully fix the issue some, or at least make it ‘less’ of an issue. (cause when you take MORE resources than Jetpack, your plugin is in trouble dear friends!)

    Peace-out.

    Hi Donna,

    I hope you are well today and thank you for your valuable feedback here.

    We will fix it progressively in the future versions of plugin.

    Thanks,

    To keep this thread alive for those thinking of using Custom Sidebars Pro | It’s a great plugin, except for the slow load times. I’ve just built a site which integrates the plugin in every page. Unhappily, the plugin slows load times 2.5 to 4.5 seconds normally and occasionally even more.

    I’m another user waiting for an update for this otherwise extremely useful plugin.

    If anyone knows of an alternative plugin to use in the meantime, please post.

    Thanks

    My issue has been fixed: but only when I upgraded to a new server. It’s an essential plugin for us and a pleasure to use. I don’t know what in the upgrade fixed the problem with load times, unfortunately, but wanted to let others with the problem of slow load times know how the issue resolved in this instance.

    Hi Mark,

    Awesome, great to see you got that fixed by upgrading to a new server.

    If you have any issue with the Pro version of Custom Sidebars plugin then please ask it on our WPMU DEV forum using this from http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/#question as ww.wp.xz.cn discourages support of commercial products here (see: Commercial products are not supported here).

    Have a fantastic day!

    Cheers,
