I have a fairly high traffic WooCommerce site and have been experiencing some slowness due to extremely high PHP usage. I got New Relic installed and did some analysis and the Pro theme is responsible for almost all the PHP bloat. See the graph below:
How can I reduce PHP usage in the Pro theme?
That is the /pro URL which is used for backend management like building pages and theme options. It is more intensive than normal traffic because of all the requests to render content live. I would advise not using the Pro backend for 24 hours so the data better reflects what is causing bottlenecks for your front end traffic.
Hi @alexander, this is the PHP execution namespace, not the URL being accessed, meaning it’s all PHP being executed from the Pro theme codebase.
I got a broader snapshot and it’s by far the highest utilization of my server’s PHP process load over a 24 hour span.
I see what you mean. If that’s the case then Pro would likely be the highest just because the theme always runs on every page load.
Would you mind if I logged into the New Relic account to look at what’s going on? If that’s ok you can provide logins in a secure note. Otherwise would you happen to have any more information about what URLs are most affected and what features are used there?
