Budyypress Media & Querry Monitor

Hi @clyn, sorry for the small delay,

Firstly you’re reporting several issues but from what I can see your main problem is overall loading speeds.

In your first post you have exemplified 2 errors which the first one is generated by your server limitation and the second appears because the first issue output, so if you fix the first you won’t get the second.

If you’re saying you’re having a 120$/month vps box then it should have run smoothly without any issue but such issues might also appear if your vps box is not properly setup and configured for web hosting.

Also, it might also be possible that your vps has it’s resources shared on the parent server which in the end might be oversold which makes you pay more just for the concept of a “vps” box but you might up ending with much lesser resources available than the one you have been advertised in the plan for which you’re paying for, resulting in the end with big impact on the application you’re running.

I know that our theme comes with some plugins pre-packaged or as recommendations to use, but such speed issues in the end are direct responsibility of each plugin author in part. A simple demonstration that speed issues are not related to the theme you can simply leave all the plugins you want to use activated and switch to a default wordpress theme, in this case you shouldn’t notice a big drop in load times or resources usage.

It’s a known fact that the rtMedia ( buddypress media ) is a heavy plugin but the majority of the users doesn’t notice, aren’t impacted ( because of very optimised web hostings), or they simply think it worths for the features that it adds.

On the other side, the Visual Composer plugin is also a very heavy and ajax intensive plugin, but in this case only your “add post/page” will suffer of it’s impact because the visual builder interface needs to process lots of data in order to ease your work. Visual Composer doesn’t have any big impact on the front end of your site if you’re asking yourself about it.

If you have installed and set up your own vps box and you’re not a system administrator person in order to make optimisations on your vps box then I don’t think this hosting solution will work for you and I recommend you to search for managed services.

Also please understand that if you’re trying to run a full featured portal ( members system, membership system, forums, ecommerce ) will require a high performance hosting solution and if you have such issues on a test site I really think the problem in this case is your hosting company.

Also, you didn’t specified anything about the traffic that your site might have to support or if it already has some traffic, this might contribute a lot and if the problem comes from here you’ll probably need to scale/increase your hosting plan in order to reflect the resources usage.

Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Cheers

The loading speeds are “acceptable” for me, ~2-3 seconds per load, but once you’ll have more traffic it might get worse.

I see your server is running php 5.4 with apache, ask your hosting if they can configure your server to run with php-fpm 5.6 + nginx ( best case ) or at least php5.6 + apache, that way you should feel an improvement, we had customer reporting that migrating from php 5.4 to php 5.6 had doubled the site speed.

Also you shouldn’t consider a slow admin panel as the main problem, your main focus should be on the front end where you can improve the things by using all sorts of caching systems.

Please talk with your hosting about my above recommendations regarding php versions.

Looking forward.

VDS means it’s a divided server, still shared with other users, less isolated than a VPS. ( https://www.google.com/#safe=off&q=what+is+a+vds )

You’re making a big mistake, Kleo is just a theme and is not responsible of the amount of plugins and components that you want to use on your site, sure we have prepared our them to work with all of them, but not all of them are required, so if there are any plugins that you personally don’t use please deactivate them.

The only required plugins for Kleo theme are K-Elements and Visual Composer, the rest of them just are additional features and you should enable the ones you really use.

It’s absolutely normal for a site to be heavier if you keep adding and adding more components and features to it, this would happen the same with any theme that you would use, for example, please let all your plugins activated and switch your theme to a wordpress default one and you’ll see you have the same slow loading speeds.

1. Please provide me an screenshot with the exact error to which you’re referring to.
2. Get a better hosting, but please understand that 2-5 seconds load page in backend is a good loading time if you have that amount of plugins activated.

I really think you should consider putting more focus on the part of the site visible to your clients and not to the administration panel.

I’ve made a small modification on your site on the K-Elements plugin and deactivated the remote call, don’t know if it will improve anything.
