Hello there @blaudis,
Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed insights through Query Monitor regarding the impact of MailPoet on your WP-Admin loading times. We truly appreciate your effort in identifying these specific requests contributing to the overall load. Let’s address each point and work towards enhancing your experience.
Observations and Actions:
- Requests to release.mailpoet.com:
- The calls to
https://release.mailpoet.com/products/mailpoet-premium/latest?license=XXX are part of the update checking mechanism for MailPoet Premium to ensure you’re running the latest version. While essential, we understand your concern regarding its impact on loading times.
- Action: To minimize the impact, we recommend ensuring your MailPoet installation is always up to date. We’re also exploring optimization on how and when these checks are executed to reduce administrative overhead.
- Translation Updates Post Request:
- The
POST request to https://translate.wordpress.com/api/translations-updates/mailpoet/ is intended to keep your MailPoet plugin translations current. It’s an essential part of maintaining the plugin’s international usability.
- Action: We’re investigating methods to optimize this process. Potential improvements include adjusting the frequency of these updates or caching results to reduce the necessity of these calls.
Steps You Can Take:
While we work on optimizing these aspects on our end, here are a few suggestions to potentially speed up your WP-Admin:
- Caching Plugin: If you’re not already using one, a caching plugin can significantly improve loading times across your WordPress site, including the WP-Admin area. Plugins like WP Rocket offer options to exclude certain AJAX calls or PHP scripts from caching, which could help fine-tune performance without impacting functionality.
- Database Optimization: Regularly cleaning your WordPress database can help remove clutter that might be slowing down your admin area. Tools like WP-Optimize can automate this process.
- Web Hosting: Consider evaluating your current hosting environment. Sometimes, the server response times could contribute to overall delays, and an upgrade or switch might offer noticeable improvements.
I hope this helps.
Cheers!
