Thanks Andrei,

This is what I’ve found:

Most of the lost connection issue took place when using Visual Composer, AND when trying to set an image as a featured image or in visual composer. It happened other times, too, but those seemed to be the big triggers, repeatedly.

I found one obscure post on a forum that mentioned the Heartbeat API that was tied into WordPress 3.6.X. I used a Heartbeat API plugin named “Heartbeat Control.” I just turned off all the sync settings wear WordPress was trying to keep posts (and other pages) in sync with the server by making backups. I haven’t had an issue with a lost connection since (about 4 days now). It still slows way down when using Visual Composer.

I am not on a managed hosting system and am wondering if that would help the speed of my site and backend work.

If you know a better way to fix the latency issue with Visual Composer, please let me know. I do not understand why it slows down so much when selecting media. My media is generally saved for web (optimized) and the slow issue always happens when media is being selected.

I have narrowed down the Lost Connection issue to Visual Composer. When I turn off JavaScript in my browser’s preferences, my site runs really fast! But, VC doesn’t work. I read that the code below can be added to the child theme functions.php file, but that did not help me, either.

add_action(‘admin_head’, function(){

$user_page = get_current_screen();
if( $user_page->post_type == ‘post’ || $user_page->post_type == ‘page’ ) {

?>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
jQuery.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend : function(xhr, setting) {
if( setting.data == ‘action=wpb_single_image_src’ || setting.data == ‘action=heartbeat’) {
xhr.abort();
return false;
}
}
});
</script>
<?php

}

});

This issue is really bogging everything down. Any help in how to fix it would be so appreciated.

I’m sorry, but I have one more question:

Do you know of a reason why I would be continuously getting a “Lost Connection” message, or my site would be dragging very slow at times? It’s not all the time, only when I make a few updates. Then, it slows to a crawl or stops working for a few minutes. I’ve checked with my web host and they cannot see a problem from their side. I’ve seen some forums that suggest it could be WordPress code.

I was wondering if you have seen this and if you know of a solution.

Thanks again!
