Hi,
I have been investigating the issue that the backend of WP had become so slow. I am using Enfold and maybe the theme was generating too many requests. But after installing the plugin Query monitor I found that WordPress API HTTP requests where slowing down admin.
Strangely this issue is not happening on other sites I am managing.
The API HTTP requests are also generated more then ones for the same urls
http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/update-check/1.1/ (4 times)
https://api.wordpress.org/themes/update-check/1.1/ (4 times)
https://api.wordpress.org/core/version-check/1.7/?version=4.3.1 (2 times)
After deactivating them through wp-config the loading time of the backend decreased.
Any idea why this happening and how I can get the API working without these HTTP request mania?
Thanks!
Hi Jan!
First time to hear that, to be honest.
I will notify the dev team, through our git, to give that a look and maybe manage to short it out for future releases.
Thanks a lot for notifying us!
