Hello,

I’m been working on site speed issues, and in a new relic run, I see that GeoDir_Compatibility::dynamically_add_post_meta is a big offender in response time. I suspect there’s no blanket answer to this, but can you give me a little insight into what may cause this to run slow? Is it data size, images size, anything that I could take a look at?

I was reading up a bit in your forum on image sizing between my theme and GD which I haven’t validated yet as an issue, but just FYI that I’m doing some research on that if that could be part of my issue.

Thanks!
Tim

It is used several/multiple times on the same page.

Have you used it? Created a shortcode with GD Post Meta with the shortcode builder?

On the archive item page, we call it like twice…but only there. We use the post badge a few times.

We do have a fair history of – especially classifieds – that I could purge older listings if that would help.

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Yes, ok…that’s explaining its call count. Thoughts on making it faster? See my question above.

Hi Tim,

That call usually tries to make your theme page settings work on the template pages. The call can be disabled with this code snippet (not tested)
```
remove_filter( 'get_post_metadata', array( 'GeoDir_Compatibility', 'dynamically_add_post_meta' ), 10, 4 );
```
What theme are you using?

Hey Stiofan,

Using Newspaper theme. I gave it a try – and i’ll run New Relic on it and see what I see now. Thanks for the help…i’ll get back to you to report/close this out in the next day or so.

Thanks, Tim
