I will try the update, but have you at least tried to replicate the issue?

Hi @appinlet

Version of the plugin is 4.3.4.
Im afraid. I would not be able to grant you admin access to the site and this can be replicated on a clean install with storefront.
Have you tried to follow my instructions and replicate the issue?

As an extra note, this only occurs when the discount is a % based discount on the cart

thank you

Again, to my point…I’ve literally given you the info, I don’t need/want to start again with the developers on github….I don’t understand why cant you just pass the info on to the developers and then update this ticket once its resolved? Why must I jump through those hoops?

Soo……I have to now start all over on github instead of here…..even though Ive given you all the details….and you work for the same company that the developers do….hmmm

I think I found the culprit function:
in class-metabox.php, line 987, private function get_custom_replace_vars.

This function iterates through every custom field and every taxonomy, so if you have a complex site with many taxonomies and are using ACF, which has allot of custom fields, then this iteration adds a ton of overhead and load time.
baseline page load without any modifications on my local env is: 1.4min

With these lines modified page load is : 41s

return [
//’custom_fields’ => $this->get_custom_fields_replace_vars($post),
//’custom_taxonomies’ => $this->get_custom_taxonomies_replace_vars($post),
‘custom_fields’ => [],
‘custom_taxonomies’ => [],
];

So that looks to be the smoking gun from my perspective…

Upon further investiation, i was able to see that if i disabled javascript and enabled the classic editor, the page load is much much faster, approx 21s. As expected as that is, it does indicate that the yoast performance has something to do with the ajax calls its making….its not a server side issue at least from the initial page laod.

What ajax requests are being made? Perhaps isolating the functions that the ajax requests call may help find the root cause.

HI, I updated to the latest Yoast, installed the Helper tool, reset the indexible tables and ran the WP cli command. Result was no different. page load of 1.3 min

Thanks, i have subscribed to the github issue….but dont think the transient solution is the same thing that im experiencing.

Are you able to confirm what changed in version 14.9 that could have led to the increase in load time?

Here is an image of the various page load times by plugin version

Hi @pcosta88

Sorry to be difficult, but if you read my message properly, you would see that all plugins and wordpress are up to date, as well as my request to NOT revert to the standard response of is your plugins up to date….

The hosting is PREMIUM wordpress hosting with Kinsta and they have ver large servers with all the necessary requirements optimised for wordpress. They are not some self hosted server with minimum specs…

Also what requirements from your plugin changed from version v14.8.1 to v1.4.9 and subsequently v15 that was so different that my hosting would suddenly become an issue!

Now that the rant is over….

I can enable query monitor and see if its picking up slow queries, but the load time seems to be ajax related, and as such query monitor wont help.

In terms of site content, the site is very large, running into the 10s of thousands of posts, and literally millions of rows in wp_post_meta. As i said earlier, its an eterprise content site that makes heavy use of ACF.

What is obvious is that something changed in version 14.9….what functionality specifically changed in that release that was new or very different to 14.8.1?

Thats where the investigation should start…

Sorry realised the 5s pageload was with ACF disabled as well….corrected times below…

I have subsequently deleted the yoast plugin on staging and have tried the following versions with their respective page loads, the only difference is the yoast plugin itself:

Disabled : 31.04s
14.4 : 31.87s
14.5 : 31.88s
14.6 : 32.99s
14.7 : 48.73
14.8 : 35.83
14.9 : 1.1min
15.0 : 1.3min
15.1 : 1.1min
15.2 : 1.2min

As you can see, from v1.4.9 there is a massive jump in pageload speeds, with most of the other versions prior to that having a negligibly increase in page load from not being enabled.

Im happy to assist in any way to get the the root cause of this, and await your response.

PS: Please don’t ask me to disable all other plugins & theme, as thats clearly not the issue here…
