Hi there,
We will be happy to take a look at your installation to find out the root cause of the issue. The 256 MB memory limit of PHP is enough for Cornerstone to run smoothly, but maybe there are other plugins eating up the resources or something related to your hosting service provider.
To test out the pure Cornerstone, I suggest that you deactivate all 3rd party plugins except Cornerstone and check the case. You can use the Google Chrome Browser network tab to see which assets are loading and how much time it takes to get a response from the server:
The ultimate test will be to move the website to your local machine or another hosting service and test the case to make sure that the environmental factors are not getting in the way regarding the performance.
Honestly, me myself have more than 5 installations n my local machine and 3 other servers and they all work smoothly. I am not saying that we may not have resource intensive parts in the code but what you have described makes me believe there is an environmental factor going on your installation.
We can be of a better help if you give us the information below using the Secure Note functionality of the post to follow up:
- WordPress Dashboard URL
- WordPress Dashboard Username
- WordPress Dashboard Password
- The name of the page to test the case
I totally understand the frustration of a slow builder, I just want to ask for your patience and cooperation so that we can check the case and give you proper suggestion to fix the issue and serve you better.
Thank you.
