The crude alternative most people resort to is the one where you add a file and include several levels up. This is arguably worse for performance if not just as bad. But there is a variant that works better, if we create our own AJAX entrypoint URL, and specify: define( ‘SHORTINIT’,true); Then include the WordPress … Read more
Your site is very, very heavy at 4+ megs. Lighten it up; see http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.moseleycoachsales.co.uk/eyz4qxQx Fix the code errors, such as not specifying image dimensions, not correctly scaling your images, not optimizing your images, setting browser caching and expires headers, etc. Your site speed has very little to do with one 404 for one style sheet. … Read more
…if you have low traffic on your site it may never run due to the way how WP Cron works In your particular example it should always fire.

While it is impossible to pinpoint why it takes so long without access to your server, the core issue is that when the webserver do not find a file it will execute wordpress to handle the URL, and as the URL is unlikely to match any content it will result in a generation of a … Read more
Thank you for your help. I did it another way. I believe it won’t overload in the future when there will be more users. I will try to explain it, but if anyone will need help with the code I’m willing to help. In the “send_message.php” file, after database insert, I added a piece of … Read more
In general it should not be a big problem. The built of the menu could be slow, so your best option here is to cache the menus with transient. if ( !get_transient( ‘first_menu_transient’ ) ) { ob_start(); // do not directly output the menu // build the menu $first_menu = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); echo $first_menu; set_transient( … Read more
Your scripts might be stuck in infinite loop, not producing a fatal error but causing the server to timeout the request after some time. Try installing xdebug for your OS/distribution (php-xdebug in recent Ubuntu versions) which will enforce a xdebug.max_nesting_level directive that should log an actual error and a call stack to help you identify … Read more
Debug & Caching …simply doesn’t work. If you’d load a page (on a cached request) and doing all those funky things like checking if you’re logged in, if you’re using an administrator-role account, etc. than all this would be bypassed by the caching plugin. The cache gets applied to the resulting HTML page, not the … Read more
The performance of WordPress does not depend on the number of posts. It depends on the server performance (how fast can PHP scripts be executed). And the performance of the MySQL Server. The server performance is normally no problem if you got enough memory. The bottleneck is in most cases the MySQL server and the … Read more
Another solution would be to use an ordered list. $my_query = new WP_Query($args); if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : echo ‘<ol style=”list-style:decimal”>’; while( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); echo ‘<li><a href=”‘ . get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . ‘”>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</a></li>’; endwhile; echo ‘</ol>’; endif;
