Geodirectory plugin breaking my page

Hi Maria,

what type of server are you using? DId you ever read this? https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/server-requirements/

If the server is under-powered you’ll need to upgrade it.

Let us know,

Thanks

Hi Maria,

I normally avoid big hosting provider that tend to go after quantity more than quality. Hostgator is one of them, that said I never tested their dedicated servers.

I tested cloudways and you will see a great improvement compared to your current server. In addition you’d be able to scale up on demand whenever you traffic will require it in the future.

Thanks

Hi,

you needed to clear GD Booster cache.

Please check now.

Thanks!

Hi Paolo,
I just installed geodirectory plugin, then Directory Started theme and then Supreme Directory child theme. I installed the provided listing data sample form you guys and listings look great with the map on the side, very promising. No other plugins are installed at this time.

Now, my issue is that my wordpress back end is very slow. Each time I select a menu it takes from 10 to 20 seconds to respond (for example: Setting->Reading, takes 16 seconds to load). I am using bluehost with the cloud service which is suppost to be faster then the regular package they offer.

I am also running on this same hosting service an older version of your theme, geotheme (that is no longer supported), on that version when I go to my wordpress back end page and access any menu such as ‘Appearance->Themes’ it takes 2 seconds to load, and the same take 15 seconds on my new Geode directory install.

Is there anything I can do to improve this slow responds?
I see from the response above from the user Maria that she says it worked! But I don’t know if Clearing GD Booster cache fixed the issue or if she had to upgrade to new faster hosting.

How do you Clear GD Booster cache?

Thank you.

Hi Paolo,
I did a complete new installation with cloudways as the readme suggest and I did find the performance to be much better for my back end.

Then I compered and noticed that the main difference between my bluehost cloud installation and the cloudways installation was that my bluehost wordpress installation by default included a ‘Mojo Market Place’ plug in, I deactivated and removed that and I was back into business with Bluehost, the performance was much better, but my page loads for my listings were much slower than with cloudways.

But then I installed the ‘W3 Total Cache’ plug in and now I am seeing the same page load time for my listing with Bluehost cloud and Cloudways.
