I have a WP site where saving a menu from admin is unacceptably slow. I’ve searched in this forum and on google and it appears this problem has been around for a while, but the solutions presented are one-off (probably unrelated) or anecdotal and not reproducible.
The most recent post in this form says “its a chrome issue, use firefox’. I use both, behavior is the same
The site has a menu with 64 items.
– Saving that menu takes ~4:07 to 4.20 minutes.
– Prior to adjusting php memory, max execution time (to 5 minutes) it would cause a 504 server timeout.
– Firefox reports 4.37 of “waiting’ in the most recent profile.
– We are on WP 5.3.2
– We are running php 7.3.5
– php memory limit 256MB
– php max post size is 512MB
– php time limit 300 seconds
– php variables 25000 (yes, 25000, not 2500)
These settings were made in desperation to allow a menu save.
Please don’t tell me I need a bigger server – specifically dedicated hosting. The site is not large, 64 menu items is not many.
Can anybody provide insight or suggestions. We paid significant money to have our existing site moved to WP, by recommendation of the company that did the work.
Regards.
