Plugin adds ~2 seconds load time to admin pages

First problem to solve is both check_username_password and check_api_key trigger HTTP requests even if their respective settings aren’t set. ie. I’m using an API key, but we still fire off a wp_remote_get with those query variables empty!

So, ideally if $username and/or $password isn’t set, exit immediately with return false.

Same goes for check_api_key — if there is no $api_key don’t fire off the request.

Next thing to do would be to cache the results of these methods locally fox X seconds or unless the details change. That way the requests are only made every so often, and only forcibly rechecked when required.

Thanks for the suggestion, we will look into it.

Can you upgrade to the new version 1.7.0? All this should be fixed now. Thanks for the suggestions!

I have the same problem on version 1.7.2, it became unusable (even if it works) because every admin page has a bunch of very slow WP_Http->get() which makes the admin very slow in general.

The query monitor says :
GET https://api.sendgrid.com/api/mail.send.json 400 Bad Request

Any ideas ?

I also see a similar problem in my admin area

GET https://api.sendgrid.com/api/mail.send.json
400 Bad Request
curl

GET https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/stats
400 BAD REQUEST
curl

Thanks
