Hello,

I’ll try and respond to our comments in turn:

#1 At the moment GDB does not include CDN support, i am working with some users to add CDN support but it will take some time.

#2 We never said it did.

#3 “that your Features page does not state that your program does not work with other cache plugins.” Yes, i’m glad we cleared this up, we dont say that, we just recommend GDB as we know it works and can maintain it. Most caching plugins are built for static websites and they do great at that but with dynamic web applications they often cause problems. For example woocommerce disables w3tc caching on all it’s pages, this is something we can look into perhaps.

I am here to help you not hinder you, if you would like to add me to skype i would be happy to either work with you to get CDN working with GDB, or to try to get some sort of compatibility with w3tc (where GD pages are not cached but the rest of the site is)

Thanks,

Stiofan

Thanks for letting us know, the side seems to be about 1/3 faster now compared to my tests yesterday. We will be reviewing all our plugins in the next few weeks to see if we can speed things up, and i will keep your case in mind as even my test site which has about 12x more listing that your site uses a lot less resources and loading time.

Thanks,

Stiofan

You do have lots of plugins active, i did a test with GD plugins active and the load time to finish (including JS) was 16 seconds, with all GD plugins deactivated it was still 12 seconds, the Time To First Byte (TTFB) is still relatively high which is the sheer amount of code having to be processed. The way to look at plugins is “Can i do it without a plugin” this will always be the fastest option.

That being said GD is taking a bit of time to do it’s stuff, this could be a poor processor speed of the hosting or maybe a bottle neck somewhere in your setup, i am going to make a plugin to see if i can narrow it down, so please leave the login the same for now but try and remove any plugins you might not need.

Thanks,

Stiofan

We have a theme in development that has this, it should be released before the end of the month.

Thanks,

Please try with disabling all non GD plugins, i guess something is changing your blog id, this works fine on all my test sites.

Thanks for the info, please check now, for some reason your site would not output the code on that specific hook, i moved it to another hook and it works, so i will change it for the next core release.

Thanks,

Stiofan

thanks for the info, please check now.
