Title: Excessive admin-ajax.php loading time Last modified: October 2, 2023 --- # Excessive admin-ajax.php loading time * [alabasterized](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alabasterized/) * (@alabasterized) * [2 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excessive-admin-ajax-php-loading-time/) * I have been using this plugin for about one month and found it very useful. So I thought that I solved my needs for WP statistics, until today, when I noticed, by testing some pages by GT Metrix, it caused excessive loading time of admin- ajax.php. What I have seen in the GT Metrix waterfall was confirmed in Chrome Developer Tools -> Network. So I tried uninstalling this plugin, and the speed improved notably, no ajax.php excessive loading time either. * Can you please check this, and possibly come up with some solution? * Thanks.

I’m investigating this issue in both WP Statistics and Slimstat Analytics, and I believe we need to use an asynchronous method to send the request in the background so as not to block the main thread. * Will let you know once we started on it. * Best * Thread Starter [alabasterized](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alabasterized/) * (@alabasterized) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excessive-admin-ajax-php-loading-time/#post-17095901) * Hello Mostafa, and thanks for your reply. * I am not sure if it stops the main thread. * [https://files.pedjarogic.com/hosted/gtmetrix-slimstat.png](https://files.pedjarogic.com/hosted/gtmetrix-slimstat.png) * This was however the case with the cache plugin active, and timing might look different if it had to be generated in real time. * Anyhow, it would be best if the statistics do not put much load on the server anyhow. - This reply was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by [alabasterized](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alabasterized/). - This reply was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by [alabasterized](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alabasterized/). * Plugin Author [Mostafa Soufi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mostafas1990/) * (@mostafas1990) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excessive-admin-ajax-php-loading-time/#post-17096810) * Yeah, actually I mean improving the response time. correct. * Thank you for sharing with us! * [Alexandros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alprio/) * (@alprio) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excessive-admin-ajax-php-loading-time/#post-17442920) * Hello , I have the same problem.When someone visits the site , Ajax admin generates spikes. When I deactivate the plugin it stops. * Except that , I use elementor with woodmart and I have Ajax product tab enabled. When someone presses a tab to just see products , slimstats enables Ajax admin again with type ping and it generates traffic and it makes the tab slow. I can share video through email if you want. * Thread Starter [alabasterized](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alabasterized/) * (@alabasterized) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excessive-admin-ajax-php-loading-time/#post-17459133) * I can also confirm this problem remained more or less the same. In the meantime, I moved to a better-performing server, but still, out of the typical two seconds page loading time, 0.5 seconds is associated with this plugin. * And it is a pity, this is generally a great plugin. * [Amir](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amirfallah/) * (@amirfallah) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excessive-admin-ajax-php-loading-time/#post-17506600) * Greetings, * We have created a new task for our development team to investigate and optimize the plugin’s processes that are causing this overhead. We will keep you updated once we have identified the root cause and implemented a solution to improve performance. * Your feedback is valuable to us, as it helps us enhance our products and provide a better experience for our users.

Your input will let me know when to reactivate your plugin. The impact on my website’s load speed is too great to keep it.
