Faster Appearance – Menus

Description

The new accessibility javascript in the Appearance > Menus panel in WordPress 3.6 can significantly slow the page load speed when using a large number of menu items (> 50). This plugin defers the accessibility processing to eliminate the scripting bottleneck and allow the Appearance > Menus screen to run much faster and more responsively.

Full details

This solution is fairly rough. Hopefully we can develop a robust solution that can eventually become part of the core. Pull requests through GitHub are welcome.

Screenshots

Installation

1. Upload the faster-appearance-menus directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install via the Plugins uploader

Although a much needed plugin, it doesn’t work with the latest Wordpress, I’m afraid. ??

Awesome!

Awesome plugin! I have more than 100 items in the menu and it was a nightmare when I needed to add more or just to reorder the current ones. After installing this awesome plugin everything is so smooth and fast. Thank you for sharing this plugin!
