Let me look into those possibilities. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/server-gets-really-slow#post-8515 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 15:17:41 +0000 Carl Hancock 8515@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms uses a built in WordPress hook to check for updates. We didn't write our own upgrade/update routine. It's all native WordPress core functionality. So we have no way of changing it. There shouldn't be that big of a delay, if there is then something else is going on. Either with your WordPress install or your web server not being able to communicate properly with our server. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/server-gets-really-slow#post-8513 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 14:55:48 +0000 jcollier 8513@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there any way to allow the plugin page to load while Gravity Forms is checking back to the license server? I'm approaching a 30-second load for the plugin page when I open it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/server-gets-really-slow#post-7049 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:51:15 +0000 TiborP 7049@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK, sounds like a very possible explanation. Thx again. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/server-gets-really-slow#post-7047 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:40:18 +0000 Carl Hancock 7047@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The Backup Buddy plugin and Gravity Forms both connect to 3rd party servers to check for updates (ex. ours for Gravity Forms and PluginBuddy servers for BackupBuddy). When you load the plugin page it forces an update check. Your server could be slow to do this check to both servers. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/server-gets-really-slow#post-7043 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:04:04 +0000 TiborP 7043@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK thanks. I tested some things and now disabled BackUp Buddy; that did the trick, but the wp-plugin page still seems very slow.</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/back-end-slowness" rel="nofollow">This</a> post also mentions this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/server-gets-really-slow#post-7042 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 10:53:55 +0000 Carl Hancock 7042@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We haven't had any reports of performance issues such as this with other users. Depending on your host it could be server resource issues. The type of form fields your form(s) have does not add to the complexity of the execution. The forms display the same no matter what fields, only the processing after they are submitted is different. It could be a memory issue on your server, a lot of shared hosts do not provide a lot of memory by default. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/server-gets-really-slow#post-7031 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 05:00:30 +0000 TiborP 7031@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am working on quite a complicated form; it has form fields, post fields and custom post fields.</p> <p>I noticed my server became very slow. Since I had a customer complaining about responsiveness in combination with a complicated form too, I deactivated GF, which improved speed drastically:</p> <p>GF active - admin login: 17.25 sec Yslow<br /> GF not active: 2.83 sec. in Yslow</p> <p>Any ideas what could be wrong? </p> <p>This is with 1.3.12 as wel as with 1.3.12.2, on WP 3.0</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
