    Hi Alex,

    Your Time To First Byte (TTFB) time is between 3-4 seconds which indicates your server is not doing a good job of processing your stuff before serving it, this can mean your server is slow or your stuff is big and complex. You will never be able to get a 2 second load time with a TTFB of 3-4 seconds, something needs to be done to either increase server resources and/or decrease the amount of code running on your site (probably both). Your home page is 4mb also and you have over 100 JS files and over 80 CSS files being loaded, this will never make a fast site. If you really want a fast site strip EVERYTHING back to basics with basically WP+GD+GDB and check the loading times, then add a single plugin at a time and see if u can live with that extra loading time for the features that plugin adds or not.

    Hi Alex,

    GD Booster in its next release will add CDN support.
    The DONOTCACHEPAGE constant will be removed in the next release.

    Other caching solutions were inherently not compatible with GD as it often had dynamic content, we are trying to move away from this and have all urls be specific and non dynamic, in the future maybe other caching solutions will work better with GD.

    I will comment on your other post about specifics relating to your site.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    You are sorting by featured but dont want featured to be first? The DB query has to check if they are featured or not, there is no way to tell it to pick and choose unless you manually set them in the DB but then you would have to go through it every time one expired to make the next one featured. No practical solution.

    I have not added validation yet but i’ll do it now as you are missing the http part of the url 🙂 I see you are running HTTPS but your CDN url is not a SSL one, you need to enable it and get one, its free in maxCDN but it’s tricky to find, they try to offer u los of paid options first.

    Let me know how u get on.

    Hello,

    What you are describing is almost impossible and no one does it, not even trip advisor, but there are some other ways to do it, let me explain what can and cant be done:

    Cant be done: Search for a keyword in an area and then expect to filter those results, the results are already ordered by the keyword, ordering by anything else would/could bring irrelevant results like a top rated book store with text “we are not an Italian restaurant”… example i can search foe scones near an area and i dont get any way to sort it: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Search?q=scones&geo=186478&pid=3825&typeaheadRedirect=true&redirect=&startTime=1462895605218&uiOrigin=MASTHEAD&returnTo=http%253A__2F____2F__www__2E__tripadvisor__2E__co__2E__uk__2F__&searchSessionId=4BDE65138DE4A8AC8A9C83257C96BBBC1462899188881ssid

    What could be done:
    Is we cold add to the advances search a autocompleate for search that lists cats in a dropdown, if selected then we could then add filtering as their is no keyword just a category and/or and area. (we already list cats words as suggestions in advanced search but we set them as keywords, we would need to work on this to make it possible)

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    Hello,

    Another dev was looking at this earlier and made some changes, the problem seems to be with the number of categories n relation to locations, these were being refreshed a bit too much, i am making some more changes to try and limit it to the absolute essential times. I will be running some tests for the next 30 minutes, if you could just avoid the plugins page in admin that would be great.

    I’ll update you after my tests.

    Thanks,

    There is no option in the script to be able to clear this: http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/#input_examples

    You would have to add a foreach loop to then maybe add a button after each fiels that when clicked clears the field.

    Hi Tom,

    Sorry for the delay with this.

    I have installed a email logger and the emails seem to be being sent ok, you can check here: http://petadvisor.co.uk/wp-admin/tools.php?page=email-log
    I also added ur image to my claim email to test and i got the email fine with no problems, i changed the user u gave to my same email and tested but did not receive it which leads me to say its a server problem, my guess is there is a security rule or something but your server admin should be able to track it down pretty quick by checking the mail logs and security logs.

    For the search issue, something is just not right, its not even considering the category, can you please provide FTP and i’ll take a look.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
