Title: Plugin extend page loading time Last modified: September 3, 2020 --- # Plugin extend page loading time * [raintek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raintek/) * (@raintek) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-extend-page-loading-time/) * Hello, I have a problem with this plugin. * Every time I turn it on, page load time is extended to a few minutes. * WP version: 5.5.1 Theme: Avada PHP Version: 7.3.11 Server: FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE- p5 amd64 (Apache) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [lastala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastala/) * (@lastala) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-extend-page-loading-time/#post-13358716) * The plugin worked fine until upgrading WP to 5.5.1, and then the page load times grew extensively. The plugin does not work with WP 5.5.1!!! * Plugin Author [Jordy Meow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tigroumeow/) * (@tigroumeow) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-extend-page-loading-time/#post-13358763) * Hi, * The plugin works; but it does read your HTML and modifies it, so debugging is difficult. Unfortunately, you need to try it on a simple install first, and see with what plugin or theme it actually doesn’t work. * The fact it takes times also depends on your server, the parser used (which can be changed through the options). * [lastala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastala/) * (@lastala) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-extend-page-loading-time/#post-13361309) * Hello Jordy, * thanks for your reply! * As I told before, your plugin worked well before, before updating to WP 5.5.1. The problem occurred ONLY AFTER updating WP. * So, you are saying that it work well with 5.5.1, and blame that te fault is due to another plugin or theme. But I’ve not changed those. * Also my server provider told me that it was specifically this Gallery Custom Links plugin that caused the fault. This very plugin caused a process that first slowed down the website and eventually caused the website getting stuck. * [narubi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narubi/) * (@narubi) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-extend-page-loading-time/#post-13371707) * In GTMetrix it’s showing slow loading time for “wp-admin/admin-ajax.php” (about 1 second) When I deactivate this plugin, the time is decreased to 0.2s I am using a fast VPS as a hosting. * Maybe what would help is to decrease the number of options (function calls) for each single image and make them as default options for all images. Remove all options like “Link Target” and “Link Rel” and only leave “Link URL” as the only image option. * Thread Starter [raintek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raintek/) * (@raintek) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-extend-page-loading-time/#post-13398465) * [@lastala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastala/) yep – same problem here. After updating to 5.5.1 it doesn’t work. * Plugin last updated 4 months ago 😉 * Plugin Author [Jordy Meow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tigroumeow/) * (@tigroumeow) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-extend-page-loading-time/#post-13398491) * It works [@raintek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raintek/), but the issues could come from so many reasons. With one of the users having issue here, I have it tried on my own server, with a fresh new install and the latest version of WordPress (it was a week ago). Everything worked and he figured out an issue with another plugin. * Unfortunately, this plugin depends on how your HTML is written and other things; I tried to bring options to it with different HTML parsers. But when it doesn’t work, it’s very hard to debug. What it does might look simple at first, but in fact this job requires to rewrite parts of the HTML, which isn’t that easy through a plugin, especially when every install out there works differently. * I need people to help me, and to look a bit at the code. * On my side, I always make sur it works with with the latest version of WordPress, the main WordPress Gallery, the Meow Gallery, simple images, etc. I assure you, it works fine in most cases 🙂 * Thread Starter [raintek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raintek/) * (@raintek) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-extend-page-loading-time/#post-13398532) * It should work. * 5 sites with same theme and plugins. Any only one has a problem with gallery links after update to 5.5.1. * After turning on the plugin website is just going down. Have to go via PHPMD and turn off plugin via database. * Thought this website is run on FreeBSD server and other 4 on LiteSpeed server. - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [raintek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raintek/). * Plugin Author [Jordy Meow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tigroumeow/) * (@tigroumeow) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-extend-page-loading-time/#post-13398549) * Have your checked your PHP Error Logs? I am not sure the issue is that it is BSD, you could have LiteSpeed running on BSD, but I guess the system configuration is also different.
