Plugin slowing down site

    Hi there! I am using your plugin on my website and it seems to be causing some significant slow downs. Here is what I have done to ID the issue:

    1. Deactivated plugins one by one and re-enabled them one by one
    2. Kept everything deactivated and only had this plugin active – slow to load
    3. Activated everything and disabled this plugin – much faster to load
    4. Switched to Twenty Nineteen theme while all plugins were deactivated except MEC – site was still slow

    I am running WP 5.4.2 with an Astra Child Theme and PHP 7.2.32

    My question is – can I bump up PHP to 7.3? This article doesn’t mention 7.2 and 7.3 being supported: https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/modern-event-calendar-load-speed/

    Any other tips I can try to optimize this plugin to work on my site?

    Thank you so much!

    I have this issue too. I am using web optimisation tools (W3 total cache) and have a staging version without this plugin that loads 5-6 times faster. I would say this issue is NOT resolved.

    The plugin slowed our site to the point it can’t be used.

    I checked output of “Slow Actions for Debug Bar” plugin and this is the result. Our site is loading for about 50sec (!!). The image filters in MEC are at or very near the root of the cause. 

    
Action or Filter         Callbacks      Calls   Per Call        Total
the_content                    13       16      1906.31ms       30500.99ms
mec-render-data-thumbnails      2       15      1447.03ms       21705.51ms
mec-render-data-featured-image  2       15      1380.53ms       20708.00ms

    I can see in nginx access log, that during the time a page is loading every image is loaded 22times.

    It happens for all images set as thumbnails/featured images in created mec events.

    It happens on all pages of our site including wp-admin.

    How should we approach this?

    Ok. After some more digging into it, the problem on our site caused the fluent-view-layouts MEC AddOn. https://webnus.net/modern-events-calendar/addons/fluent-view-layouts/ I can see some commented out var_dump()s and die() in the source so it feels, that thing isn’t quite production ready just yet.
