Thanks for your help!

I actually had much of what you suggested implemented up until recently and the only thing that was still slowing the site down was the s2 plugin.

I recently since removed all the other optimizations I did to make sure it is in fact the s2 plugin slowing the site… In other words I removed all the minify’d stuff, etc etc to ensure what was causing the slowdown. Turned out it was the plugin. The server itself isn’t helping either.

Just haven’t put the pieces back together yet….

Hey Raam,

I tried the plugin organizer plugin but it appeared as though I had to manually enter hundreds of page urls to make it work. Maybe I misunderstood how the plugin organizer works but I don’t want to have to maintain a giant list of urls to protect and not protect. Also this plugin slowed the site even further.

Thanks for your help!

Just to follow up with this. I tried everything suggested here and I was not able to improve the speed of the site.

I think I might have to look at other plugins/hosting.

Thanks.

I’m not confused about caching or how caching works. I’m trying to speed up the site and need help doing so.

I understand the difference in types of caching and I have tested many different ways and I’m pretty sure it’s the plugin causing the slow down. I’ve tried clearing caches on both client and server and see no results…. The thing still runs very slowly.

I don’t understand why the plugin needs to load those files on every page load.

What do you suggest I do to improve the speed of this plugin?

Yes I did try that but it didn’t seem to make any noticeable difference.

Any other ideas?

Thank you!
