misused session may cause severe performance issues

  • Hi,

    could you please remove the forced session usage and execution time modification in 3.0.5 and only apply it to calls that actually require the session?

    The issue being that proxy caching is fully disabled by the set-cookie statement and execution time capping is prevented. For a customer this caused server peak performance (+500%) on a couple of nodes partially bringing down the site.

    Sincerely,

    Maik

    Hi Maik,

    Sorry for the trouble we created. The session is needed for storing internal data related to the optimization process—other alternatives such as WordPress options caused race conditions.

    We could activate the session only when the user is in the Admin interface. Do you think this would solve the problem in your case? Maybe you have another suggestion on how to better tackle this.

    Regarding the execution time, we only read the value from the .ini file. Where exactly did you spot a problem that involves the execution time?

    The faster way to fix this would be to discuss things over email.

    Thanks for your support!

    We worked with Maik on finding workarounds on this issue while using sessions.
    We plan on releasing soon another version of our plugin without sessions.
