Website running very slow after switching to tribe events calendar

  • Hi everyone!
    Until recently I have been using my own solution for a calendar listing on my website at https://www.jazzinsydney.com – since I have switched over to tribe events calendar (with pro plugin and Facebook import) – my website has been running so slow that it is unusable. If I run a ps auxw, I get very processor/memory intensive PHP jobs running while the site is being used, which is the cause of the slowness.

    The website is hosted on Dreamhost, on a shared system, so I don’t have a huge amount of processing power – has anyone else noticed this problem? Is the only solution to upgrade to a VPS, or is there something I can do to improve memory management?

    For the record, I am using the free Cloud Flare caching that comes with dreamhost as well as the WP-Cache plugin.

    Howdy luukkeee,

    I am happy you reached out. Calendar queries are intrinsically complex, and tend to tax the SQL server pretty well. That is why we take it very seriously to optimize our calendar queries as much as possible. We have done extensive testing on them, particularly over the past 12 month, and optimized them in every way we found.

    Some recent changes to our Month View did make it perform it a little bit slower than it could, and we have some performance updates for it coming in either 3.12 or 4.0 depending on when they pass QA.

    Do you know if it is specific pages that are taxing the server hard? The Month View is one of the most complex query wire, which is why we offer a built-in caching feature for it. Have you enabled month view caching in WP-Admin > Events > Settings > Display ? If month view is not the issue, how many events do you have set to display per page? You might try bumping it down to around 10 if it’s not already.

    If your settings are already optimized then you probably have just reached the limits of what your server can handle. Powering a calendar is hard work.

    Cheers!
    – Brook
