Slimstat slows down website loading
-
Hi guys!
Thank you for the great plugin. My website was slow on loading, around 5.5s. On checking through Google inspect, I found out it was the Slimstats plugin that was causing it. As soon as I disabled it, the load time reduced from 5.5s to 2.8s (GTMetrix). Not sure this is because of my plugin setup inside WordPress. This is just a friendly heads up, so you can take a look and if the case solve the issue on your side.
Hope to have helped

Pls temporarily install and enable the Query Monitor plugin and check what up.
It gives you good hints whats the culprit.My sites all run blazingly fast with Slimstat enabled using this settings:
Track Backend: disabled
Tracking Mode: Client
Private Mode: On
Set Cookie: OnI found a problem with the Browscap version check, which has a bug which causes the plugin to check for a new version with every request (to github.com). For this, there is a pending PR which fixes it.
Check the Query Monitor results for “HTTP Api Calls”. If there is one caused by the plugin to github.com, you are hit by the problem as well.
Hi @toxicum thank you very much for posting your Slimstat setup. As nobody from Slimstat replied to this support ticket, I decided to uninstall Slimstat and am now using Intelligence + Rank Math. I installed them and after the usual setup with Google Analytics, my website is loading in 2,5s no need to configure anything more. Thank you anyway ??
