My site is slow with Nextgen Gallery

Support for that plugin is here if you want to find out more:

Same here. 2.0.40 site creation time is 10times higher than 2.0.33 (0,7 seconds to 7 seconds). I only usw 3 random pics as widgets if i read one article (as example).

Ever since 2.x was released this has been a MAJOR issue. It kills my site. Literally kills it so pages time out and you can’t access it to the point where you can’t even reach the WP admin. The problem is simple – the plugin dumps thousands of trash entries into the wp_options table in your MySQL database slowing it to a crawl or killing it completely.

My fix for this is to strip these out manually, but it’s at the stage where I have to do this every day just to keep the site running. For those who want to try this, run this SQL query against your database:

DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '_transient_%' OR option_name LIKE 'displayed_gallery_%' OR option_name LIKE 'displayed_galleries_%'OR option_name LIKE '_site_transient_%'

If you want help, I’d suggest taking Cais’s advice about submitting a bug report or starting your own thread(s) per the forum guidelines –

I’m closing this thread because it’s way too confusing to have multiple people in the same thread – read the forum guidelines if you are confused about where to post to get help:

Unless you are using the same version of WordPress, same version of a plugin, on the same physical server hosted by the same hosts with the same plugins, theme & configurations as the original poster, do not post in someone else’s thread. Start your own topic.
