fragment caching for PixoPoint Multi-level menu

  • I have discovered, through a process of elimination that it is my menu that slows down my blog. I use a PixoPoint Multi-level plugin for the menu. The menu is pretty big and it is loaded with every page. With the menu it takes approx 23 seconds to load a page, if I disable the menu a page load is under 5 seconds.

    I would like to cache nothing but the menu and only load it the first time the app is loaded so that subsequent page loads do not have to load it again, it is just added from the cache locally.

    I know that partial-page caching is done in asp.net, but that is done by using user controls.

    Does anyone know how to do this? I’ve read that it is called “fragment caching” in PHP.

  • How would I go about “dumping the code straight into my theme”? Where would I put the code? If I did this would I still be able to cache it?

    I’m not sure how to answer that sorry. You would copy it to whichever part of the the required the menu code.

    I’ve tried WP Super Cache, and I don’t like the fact that I just makes copies of the whole page. So it just serves up a static page from the server instead of actually caching fragments of the page on the client side.

    You can’t cache bits of the page on the client side, so not sure what you mean there.

    I’m working on the plugin right now. I’m not sure what is causing the bug you experienced, but I’ll see if I can it fixed soon.

    Plugin has now been upgraded in the official repo. … https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/multi-level-navigation-plugin/

    The bug you mentioned has been ironed out and all of the performance enhancements are now available in that version too.

    I tried to put an html menu in the header.php file but I ended up getting an error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’

    I uploaded the backup I’d made and I still kept getting the error. So I re-installed the theme and it’s working again now, but I can’t get the PixoPoint Multi-level menu to display anymore. I even installed the latest version and that didn’t help either.

    What should I do to get the menu working again? All the settings are exactly the same as they were before.

    I don’t think there’s anything I can do to help there sorry. It sounds like you changed something as the menu shouldn’t just disappear like that.
