Plugin Performance

You could try FDP (Freesoul Deactivate Plugins) and cycle through deactivating plugs fairly easy to see if you could pinpoint some conflict.

I’m using Code Profiler Pro to see current usage and I don’t see long times for PODS Beaver Themer Add-on.

btw, what are you using to monitor the performance over time as shown in your graph? Code Profiler doesn’t allow me to monitor over time like that.

I have used FDP to deactivate plugins where I can,

The data graph is a screenshot from New Relic.

Most of the plugins are premium well supported plugins, there are a few I can probably migrate out of there.

The site was running smooth for a year on PHP 8.1 and suddenly in the last couple of months the RAM has been getting punched in the face . . . fatal out of memory errors regularly.

It’s on a Platinum hosting plan with WPMU DEV and is not a high volume site (< 100K monthly page views)

Is this on a specific page or every admin page too?

@sc0ttkclark I only use the plugin on a particular page and it’s one of the lowest traffic parts of the site. The New Relic data is just showing the overall slowest call times over the last 30 days.

I don’t mind setting up an admin account for you and access to NR if you would like, just let me know where to send credentials.

@w411 ?Please don’t offer to send or post logon credentials on these forums: https://www.ads-software.com/support/guidelines#the-bad-stuff

It is not OK to offer, enter, or send site credentials on these forums. Thanks for your cooperation.

@sterndata I read your message thanks.

When I saw the lead dev of Pods was taking a moment to ask about my problem, I wanted to make the process as easy and time efficient as possible, so of course I was happy to open the doors.

I will exclude all things credential-related in my posts moving forward.

@sc0ttkclark I’m just looking at the utilization in New Relic . . . it doesn’t specify front end vs back end, just overall performance.

Every time I am having performance issues on the site, when I check NR I see Themer at the top of the slowest average call time.

You could also try turning off the options in Pods Admin > Settings under Performance. Look through the options there, they note when performance may be reduced so you can just switch them to disabled to see if that improves things for you.
