# Plugin Slowing Down Site When Editing

 * A couple of thins recently happened – we changed hosts (now host with InMotion
   and have optimized hosting) and wordpress just updated. Right about this time,
   when editing our site, it became extremely slow and at times will give a time
   out message (which is frustrating when you’ve been working on updating a page
   for quite some time, then hit “update” to have the page time out and lose your
   edits).
 * We’ve been talking to our host and our theme developer and both point to the 
   plugin as being the culprit. When it’s disabled, the site speeds up and works
   fine. But we love the plugin!
 * Theme developer said this:
    I narrowed down to the Theater plugin. It appears
   to be a memory hog or something else is going on with it. If you disable it, 
   you’ll see that the edit functions work and work quickly. If you re-enable it,
   you get the 504 error again. So the issue’s unrelated to the theme and something
   to do with that plugin.
 * Please help – we love the plugin!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-slowing-down-site-when-editing%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Can you maybe install the ‘Transients Manager’ plugin?
 * Then go to Tools -> Transients and check how many transients are on your system?
   
   If there are a lot (eg. more than 100), please click ‘Delete All Transients’ 
   and see if this helps.

 * After having deleted all passed shows manually and all old passed events it works
   fast again. Old shows seems to slow the site down.
