• I am using latest versions of both WP and W3, self hosted.

    Since yesterday, Admin panel went extremely slow and after some search I discovered its W3 Total cache which is slowing by disabling all plugins and re-enabling one by one.

    In addition, a further search helped me locate that disabling object cache will help sort the issue and indeed disabling it brought back the normal site speed.

    However, the site was running fine with the object cache enabled until yesterday. So I am confused.

    I am on a dedicated server with 16 GB memory and was wondering weather anyone could help resolve this issue? or is that going to be this way in the future.

    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

  • Are you running the Object Cache from disk or are you using something like Memcache/APC/etc

    Hello,

    I have experienced exactly the same problems, except I had to disable “Object Cache” and “Database Cache” to retrieve WordPress dashboard normal speed.

    Everything was working just fine, with “Object Cache” and “Database Cache” enabled, and I didn’t do any update or software change when problems with the dashboard speed occurred.

    I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    Regards

    Hello Team .

    Facing the same problem.

    A able to access Admin panel properly only after disabling W3TC plugin. I think its the first time this plugin is creating problem.

    I hope you will fix it ASAP .

    Thanks,

    The same issue is here. It does not matter how you play with the settings, the W3TC extremely and annoyingly slows down the admin area. Also there is a noticeable increase in speed in front end once the plugin is completely disabled.

    For now I found the best option is to disable the W3TC. I will wait for a quick fix from the guys at the W3TC, if none, WP Super Cache or WP Fastest Cache could be good alternatives.

    Thanks

    The issue seems to be resolved !!

    Great Plugin !

    How it is resolved, when there was no any plugin update?

    I think we are using edge mode. So settings can be globally changed by the plugin service providers.

    Using Edge have both pros and corns as well, Its quite bad for 3 days and once its got resolved its improved a lot.

    I’m experiencing a similar problem.

    My configuration is:

    1. WordPress 4.6.1 in Network Mode
    2. W3TC version 0.9.5.1
    3. OPCODE Cache with Zend Opcode installed and enabled
    4. PHP 5.6

    As I enable Object Cache (Disk) the network admin incredible slow down.
    Only network admin slow down, I suppose due to the fact that w3tc is network enabled.
    When I turn off Object Cache, the network admin return back to loading fast.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Here is what I’ve discovered:

    When Object cache is enabled, WordPress does update_plugins ( and themes as well, but I will focus on plugins here ) on each load of admin panel.

    reason:
    _maybe_update_plugins() is getting the time of last plugin update using
    get_site_transient( 'update_plugins' );

    and here is what happens:

    function get_site_transient( $transient ) {
    ...
    if ( wp_using_ext_object_cache() ) { //Returns true when Obj. cache is enabled.</strong>
    		$value = wp_cache_get( $transient, 'site-transient' ); //DOES NOT RETURN PROPER RESULT!
    ...

    Same thing happens to update_themes

    I think this issue is still not resolved, enabling object cache on Redis slows down wp-admin but disabling it returns everything to normal.
