Slows down site

@shreyans94
I’ve a few questions to understand this and to find a solution.

– How did you determine that?
– What mailer are you using (SMTP/HTTP)?
– Did you try alternate method?

Thanks

Ok so I made a quick video to demonstrate the issue.

Let me know if there is a fix for this.

That’s so cool. Thanks for making it. Here are a few suggestions:

– Try sending a test mail using the plugin and see if it still taking long.
– Try using HTTP API mailer (you’ll need to add appropriate permissions to your API Key though).
– Also I see you’re using port 2525. Try default SMTP port 587 if that’s unblocked in your host.

Please get back to us if any of this doesn’t help. We’ll investigate if there is something at our end as our status report doesn’t show any issues that can cause slowness.

Thanks

I tried HTTP API and it reduced load time by 6 seconds which is massive, however even HTTP API adds 2.5 sec time vs disabling the plugin altogether, and 2.5 sec is also A LOT.

Lag is both with 2525 and 587

That’s great to hear.

Check with your host if it’s causing the slowness at origination level.

Regardless, HTTP API will be faster (at normal circumstances) and I recommend you to use it.

But even HTTP API adds 2.5 sec time vs disabling the plugin altogether, and 2.5 sec is also A LOT.

I am using VPS on DO it is not the issue as the thank you page loads in <2 sec when sparkpost is deactive, but loads in 4-5 sec sparkpost on HTTP API, loads in 10-11 sec sparkpost on 2525 or 587

At this point I will suggest you do some profiling to find out which step exactly taking up your time.

What do you mean by do some profiling sorry I dont get it?

Also i already know at which step it is slowing down which is the load time between checkout and thankyou page.

Default load time with plugin off 2 sec.

HTTP API slows 2.5 sec so 2+2.5= 4.5 sec load time

2525 or 587 setting lags it by 6 sec so 2+6 = 8 sec load time

What else do I do / say?
