Performance impact

[anfelogaParticipant]

Hi

I ran a performance test with p3 plugin and this is what I get (see attachment 1).

After that I ran a speed test in Pingdom Tools and this is what I get for Ajax Search Pro (see attachment 2).

After this 2 tests, I can see than for some reason your plugin is impacting a lot the site in performance and as You can see in Pingdom, the wait time is a lot and in p3, this is reflected in a 43% of total load plugins (75 plugins, a lot a lot I know).

Any idea of what can I do to improve this? Thanks for your time!

Hi!

I think I have found the reason. If I’m guessing right, then you had an older version of the search installed, where “Image Precache” was enabled. I left that code in the search in case someone needs it, but it cannot be disabled from the frontendt. Anyways, all you need to do is delete a few lines, and that empty 1,2s ajax request will disappear.

Open up the wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-pro/ajax-search-pro.php file.

Delete lines 232-250:

      if (get_option('asp_precacheimages')!=1) return;
      ?>
      <script type='text/javascript'>
         $(document).ready(function($) {
            function preCache() {
              var data = {
            	  action: 'ajaxsearchpro_precache'  
            	};
            	$.post(ajaxsearchpro.ajaxurl, data, function(response) {
                 console.log(response);
            	}, "json"); 
            }
            preCache()
            setInterval(function(){
               preCache();
            }, 15000);
         });
      </script>
      <?php  

Clear your cache and CDN cache, and you shouldn’t see that long request anymore.

Hi Ernest

Actually yes, I was using 2.1, I’m updating rigth now to 2.4. After the update should I delte those lines or is ok with this?

Thanks for your quick reply!

Hi!

Yes, you should delete those lines even after update, just to make sure 🙂

Thanks a lot! I will update You after doing this and run a new test in pigdom and in p3.

[anfelogaParticipant]

UPDATE
I ran the two tests and in p3 the plugin doesn’t even appear (this is pretty good) and in pingdom neither the ajax_search.php, and the ajax search pro script is loading fast.

Thanks for your time and support!
