WordPress network vs Separate installs
No real difference either way, really. Network installs make the most sense when you want all the sites to share a single set of users. But the basic table handling is pretty much the same either way.

Conditionally include files in functions.php?
Use WordPress’ conditional tags, global variables, defines, class checks and the like. For instance like so: <?php // load helper functions – always require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/inc/helper-functions.php’; // load admin functions – for back-end only if ( is_admin() ) require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/inc/admin-functions.php’; // load WooCommerce functions – when WooCommerce is active if ( in_array( … Read more
Performance disadvantge of second installation instead multisite feature?
I have never benchmarked this but… Since every HTTP request is a distinct request, the whole WordPress Core will load on every request either way, and a little bit more code loads for Multisite. So, it seems to me that two installs should run slightly better than a single multisite install, though I doubt you … Read more
What are the performance hiccups when building plugins?
lets say we’re registering 3 post types: is it worse for performance to do this in 3 different plugins (one for each post type), than registering all 3 in one plugin? in other words, is using an extra plugin adding to the load time, even if it doesn’t do anything? The technical process of plugin … Read more
What’s the impact on WordPress’ performance regarding the amount of classes/files in a plugin?
In practice in wordpress the number of SQL queries has the biggest impact on the performance of the site and the quality of the PHP code is usually irrelevant. In theory for any additional PHP file that you include you delay your code by the time needed to fetch the file from the disk. This … Read more
How to get better performance for redirect from domain.tld/35 to domain.tld/full-permalink?
I fear the answer here is that redirecting will just never come with good performance. Especially doing it via PHP, because then it’s handled rather late. You could think about doing it via apache in particular the .htaccess file, which intercepts way earlier, before PHP/WordPress even come into play. Which will be better, but of … Read more
What is the best way (regarding performance) to set transients for logged in users?
The rule of thumb is not to do any caching, except for object caching, for logged in users. Actually IIRC object caching will give you exactly what you want. But if you have to do it your way, you should make your cache keys to be based on the query and have different cache for … Read more
Site loading extremely slowly

One sub site is slow while all others load fine, same theme & plugins [closed]
First, make sure you actually deleted the plugin and did not just disable it. Assuming that the plugin was deleted, one of the following could cause this: Bad Cron Jobs Some plugins will create cron jobs and not remove them when the plugin is disabled or deleted. These can easily slow sites down if set … Read more
Does heavy theme and plugins affect server’s response time? [closed]
You’ve touched on a few things here, and there’s both the server and the frontend response time that you’re battling with. You might have issues with both. It’s worth noting firstly that PageSpeed (and the style recalcuating alert in the Chrome timeline) both deal with front-end aspects only – in slightly different ways though (another … Read more
