Loading times very long

    Hi Katie

    Thanks for all your hard work on this which is really appreciated. Since updating to 6.0.2 and 6.0.3, the loading times for the reference listings is now taking anywhere between 30 and 40 seconds. An example is given on this page
    http://www.gowerbonecaves.org.uk/publications/669-2
    that uses
    [zotpress style=”harvard1″ sortby=”date” showimage=”yes” download=”yes” notes=”yes” cite=”yes” title=”yes”]

    Also, on the home page, the display of a single reference generated with this
    [zotpress items=”GU8I7W7R” year=”2015″ style=”harvard1″ sortby=”author” sort=”ASC” limit=”1″]
    also takes a long time to appear and seems to have a lot of padding before it that was not evident before.

    Any advice greatly received

    Best wishes
    Steve

    Unfortunately that’s the trade-off of auto-updating — longer load times (because of AJAX and checking Zotero for updates every so often), but you don’t need to manually import to add or update anymore. I have an idea for using the cached requests that could speed things up (if it works) but it won’t be implemented for a while.

    Thanks for the explanation Katie. Will keep a look out for that possible solution in future releases
    Many thanks

    A couple more ideas in the meantime: breaking the one shortcode into a few shortcodes (the fewer items per request, the quicker the request), or temporarily going back to 5.5.5 (since auto-updating was the main feature in 6.0.*).

    Thanks Katie
    Will try the first and see what happens

    Feel free to try 6.1, which makes better use of the cache for shorter load times after the first request has been made.

    No problem. Still thinking on a solution for the first request (which still isn’t quick). Stay tuned …

    Not an expert, and still figuring it out … but one approach might be to have a dynamic page you don’t publish, and then allowing people to copy the generated content to a static page … I know with Drupal, which I used before, it just cached and stored the content. … some kind of principle of publishing a bibliography (in my case a publication list) … is really the main purpose for loving the idea of this plugin …

    here’s my current drupal pub list: http://seangoggins.net/?q=biblio&s=year&o=desc

    I basically want to be able to use your plugin to do this in wordpress, and then also highlight specific articles on pages that are broken out by my research tracks …

    So, some kind of caching, even if crude or hacky would be much appreciated.
