Performance and editing response times

  • Unknown's avatar

    Is there a way to buy better performance of your service? It is sometimes VERY cumbersome to wait for the response during editing! I am already doing most of my editing outside WP and I am still not happy at all.

    Is there a specific area that feels very slow, or slower than others?
    Any action that takes unreasonably long times?

    I talk mostly about editing. Anytime I hit UPDATE it takes sometimes over minute until it shows me the edit window again. I have already tried with different browsers and browser settings because I thought that it is doing a lot of reloading.

    Looks like you have HTTPS only enabled for administrations pages in your profile.

    Can you try turning it off and letting me know if there’s a noticeable speed difference in editing? (General page loading will be faster).

    Also – is that something you feel in all of your blogs, or just in one or some?

  • Unknown's avatar

    It is always the same. I turned HTTPS off and the loading time was still around 50 sec.

  • That’s odd, it should never take that long.

    Can you please tell us what country you’re browsing from?

    Also, do you have abnormally slow loads on any other sites?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have this slow update always and from everywhere, even at my office where I have a 100Mb fiberoptic connection. Also when I am in the US. I have no problem with loading times on other websites in general. I up and download from Dropbox at very good speeds and many complex websites work instantly. This is clearly a WordPress issue, but it may be a combination of factors, such as that my post are very long, always contain images and I have many posts with many updates. No idea what might contribute or not.

    PS: I have tried it with Safari, Firefox and Chrome and the differences are neglectable. Chrome seems to be a little faster.

  • Yes, it can take some time for very large posts to save.

    Can you give me a link to one of posts that took 50 seconds to save?

    Try the latest post ….

  • Yeah, that could take some extra time to publish. In my experience, maybe 20 – 30 seconds, though I bet if you published it during a rather busy period here, it could have taken longer.

    Is it consistently 50 seconds for you?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I would say that 50 seconds is already good … often more.

    I also never know when it is done. I then try to leave the page, get a warning, go back then sometimes it seems to create a backup page in the middle of it. I wll try to turn of the spellchecking. I seem to remember that it got worse with that.

    How about a Mac Client, kind of like Evernote? The ones on the Appstore are useless and the iPad one is not much better …

    Are you always experiencing this slow load time on the same computer? Or does it happen on other computers?

    When you say you get a warning, what’s the message that you see?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am amazed that no one else finds this annoying. It happens always, everywhere and on all computers.

    The warning is about the spell checking and I will turn it off to see if there is a difference.

  • Would you please quote the warning, if it comes back of course?

  • Unknown's avatar

    There is no warning. it is the message the text contains spellcheck errors and if I really want to publish it. I turned off automatic spell checking but it has not improved the save draft or publish response time. it remains between 40 to 60 seconds.

  • Is there any improvement with smaller posts?

  • Unknown's avatar

    smaller seem to be faster in general but actually not by much …no substantial improvement without the spell checking either.

  • Are you able to check from a connection away from your home network, like work, a friend’s house, a café, etc?

    I’d like to find out if the slowness is definitely limited to your connection.

    I notice some slowness myself on very large posts, but small posts go through rather quickly.

    Hi, I already wrote before that I have used this from practically anywhere. I am not a home worker, but an IT professional who travels around the world.

    I have 4Mb at home and 100Mb at the office and I hardly notice a difference. it is your servers or some of the additional links that are being called by your editor that cause this.

    You are being very cryptic. How about mentioning some actual numbers? How fast is a 1000 character post in difference to a 10.000 in your tests? How about embedded images? Is that the problem? Give me some test texts and tell me how fast they saved and will try them. That is the professional way towards a solution.

    You surely must have performance monitoring tools on your end and be able t give me some statistics numbers as to what the high-low-average save times for your service are, right? Then I know if I fall outside or not …
