I am currently trying to speed up a Wordpress webshop using the Divi Theme in combination with the Plugins WooCommerce & BodyCommerce.
The usage of this plugins is lowering the speed of the site. The current loading times are 5-10 seconds. After deactivating the Plugins the site speed increases massively.
I already tried to use some client-side caching (WPRocket) as well as serverside caching. Both speeded up the page a little bit but not on a level that is suitable for our usecase.
Are there any suggestions regarding speeding up this plugins?
Try with the Query Monitor plugin and contact the support of those plugins. Also: https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/divi-resources/divi-speed-optimization

Can someone help me figure out how to fix the slow admin-ajax.php problem? Sorry I'm new to wordpress.
I understand it could be related to the wpbakery (visual composer) plugin used to build the site. But I've disabled plugins one by one and can't figure out the cause.
EDIT: I've used Heartbeat API Plugin as well to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

Plugins might be using this admin-ajax for the various purposes which eventually slows down the website.
The best solution is by disabling the Heartbeat API. Install the Heartbeat control plugin. Heartbeat control plugin allows you to easily manage the frequency of the WordPress heartbeat API. Through this plugin, the heartbeat API can be disabled entirely.
Refer to the below articles for more info.

Actually, are you using wp advanced search plugin? This looks like its not supported and causing this issue.
I ended up just deferring it with W3 Total Cache under the Minify settings for JS by copying and pasting the admin-ajax.php script.
I've come to this site after much research. After updating my wordpress site to 5.0.2 yesterday many different issues have risen on my site. I've been developing websites for the past six years and just recently (one week ago) moved to wordpress. I have been using this plugin known as WPBakery Page Builder to create my pages due to its ease and simplicity. My site has over 100 pages and the page builder really helps me with importing templates and different slides easily into multiple pages.
After updating Wordpress to the newest version, a new built-in page builder was added. This page builder is raw code and does not show any of my templates previously in WPBakery. As well as, it removed all my WPBakery templates. Every page now shows nothing in WPBakery and I'm trying to figure out how to restore all of this information.
I have tried restoring the older version of wordpress which did not work, currently I'm installing the latest back-up which was three days ago but its very outdated and is 5GB so is going to take all day. Other issues that have risen with this update include many icons disappearing (turned into blank squares) as well as a lot of random code has appeared throughout the site.
I have not touched the footer since creating the website and right after the wordpress update it turned to this:
new-footer
From this: old-footer
I understand how this site works and I probably won't receive any help but I have no where else to turn and if anyone can please help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.
Installing Classic Editor has fixed the issue! WPBakery templates are now back and the random code found throughout the website has disappeared.

I have a Wordpress website, that is loading extremely slow.
http://shop.fertan.bg
The issue is that the website sits ideal for long time before beginning to load the webpage. I am unable to isolate the issue, as I used same theme and plugins (and few other extra plugins) on my other website,
http://52.57.164.181/
This page is loading extremely smooth and fast.
Has anyone had the same issue before? and help me understand this!
I almost feel dumb/ignorant for asking but I have never used Wordpress in my life. My primary skill of recent has been developing secure internet/intranet applications in PHP for healthcare companies. Every now and then I get asked to do some personal work for friends or coworkers but don't have the time or willingness to learn something new with my busy schedule.
Recently, I was approached to develop a site for a non-profit education group in which the group would need to update content on a regular basis. Simple CMS system should do the trick and while I've never used it, what if I built the site for them on Wordpress? It would give a few of the employees the ability add and update blog posts and keep new content fresh on the site. The site would also need to maintain a member 'log in' area with security being a top concern which I have no idea if Wordpress is capable of on its own. I have no problem building the latter in straight PHP but I am curious, is it possible to truly integrate the two?
I would like to build something like this site:
http://tf.dtbaker.com.au/template/child_care/index.html
but add in the security/member only area features they mentioned while keeping the ability for 'blogging'. I recently came across a few hosted CMS providers (such as Surreal CMS http://surrealcms.com/) as a method to manage the CMS aspects but if there are better solutions, I am all ears.
Note: Using WP solely as a subdomain for any blogging aspects is not an option.
Thank you ahead of time.
WordPress is extendable using PHP and their Plugin system. WP has a basic level of user authentication and permission level to handle site management and maintenance. There are plugins available which allow you to implement member only features. Google search for WordPress membership plugin shows up quite a few hits.
Regarding security of WordPress, we have 3 websites running on WordPress for the last 5 years. Security has improved since version 3.x of WP compared to the earlier versions. There are plugins that help from doing things like scan the system for security holes (wrong permissions on files etc.) as well as plugins that claim to make your site more secure. But the best security is really understanding the WordPress system, how it works, and ensuring that the plugins you install are properly tested and vetted before being installed in production.
HTH
It's hard to make a recommendation without knowing the specifics, but if the majority of the functionality of the site has nothing to do with blogging, you'll probably end up spending a lot of time writing plugins to modify the way Wordpress works, and then you'll have to potentially maintain those plugins as the API changes as new versions of Wordpress are released. Since you're dealing with health care companies and a need for security, not upgrading when a new version of Wordpress comes out could potentially be a security risk. You'll probably also find that Wordpress's "blog-centricness" will start to get in your way.
From what you've said in your question, my inclination would be to use a CMS to build the site if I were in your shoes.
That's not to say that you can't use custom themes and plugins to add CMS-like functionality to Wordpress and end up with some nice looking sites. The folks at WooThemes (http://www.woothemes.com/) are doing a darn good job at that from what I've seen, and there are other folks doing the same thing. I just wouldn't go that route if I were you.
I have a wordpress site and I replaced the home page with static html page with links to the posts in my site. In one section of the site I am loading recent 10 posts. For this I am using a notepad file, where I am storing the recent 10 posts links( In order to minimize database queries )
Will there be any advantage in calling the data from the notepad file, instead of a database query.
Please suggest me some tips to enhance the performance of my site.
Wordpress sites can quickly become pretty slow, especially if you're using a lot of plugins etc.. Fixing this by manually creating static pages seems a bit shortsighted to me, since you're basically throwing the main reason for using a CMS–like system out the window.
It sounds to me like caching should solve your problems just fine. Install and configure e.g. a plugin like WP Super Cache and you server will automatically create, update and serve static HTML for you.
Use WPSupercache + Cloudflare , All your traffic will be routed through the CloudFlare system, and you'll enjoy all this features and more for free :
- Cache all your static content automatically (FREE CDN).
- They protect your web site.
- Website preloader.
- (JS - CSS - HTML) Files compression.
