load perfomrance impact by EWWW

    Hi

    I am running a WooCommerce webshop and have been analyzing the load speed in the past. I just recently found with the P3 Plugin Profiler that EWWW has quite a high impact on load times. The load time of all my plugins with EWWW activated is 0.791 seconds (19% of all used ressources) versus 0.541 seconds with EWWW deactivated. This is while EWWW is just idle, no image optimization going on in the background, just nothing.

    I will have to turn off EWWW until this is resolved, despite the fact that it is a great plugin. I especially like that it can bulk optimize pictures regardless of their size and also can continue a bulk optimization process if interrupted.

    Thanks
    Aleks

    couple questions:
    1. do you have the ‘cloud’ service enabled?
    2. are you running the latest version?
    3. are your measurements taken on the admin or from the front-side of your website?

    1. no
    2. yes
    3. to start P3 plugin profiler you have to be in the admin menu. P3 shows a window with the tests it is performing and those are being performed on the front-side.

    hmm, that’s surprising. the plugin does very little unless it is in the admin interface (as of the latest version – 1.6.3). and it doesn’t ping the cloud service unless you have an api key entered, so there should be no slowdown from that (only does that in the admin too). I’ll check out the p3 profiler and see if it can shed some light on what is going on.

    Ok, looking at #3, if you did an autoscan, you are most definitely seeing skewed results from the admin. The last 4 pages loaded are all in the admin:

    /wp-admin/
    /wp-admin/edit.php
    /wp-admin/plugins.php
    /wp-admdin/admin-ajax.php

    I checked my test site, and then looked at a couple of the charts. Virtually nothing was shown for the forward facing pages, but then it skyrocketed (as expected) on the admin side. Average that out, and you get the exact results you reported.
