Event Series save and load time

[towertheater]

I created a theater site based on ECP. Because film times vary per day I am creating “Once” events in the Event Series. Each event can have 20-30 occurences. When opening an event in the backend to edit it can take 5 minutes or more. The browser also alerts me to wait or kill the page. We are using WP-Engine, I have also tested the site on a bluehost dedicated server with slightly better result.

Is there any way to speed up the process of entering my events. I do not see a way to enter reoccurring events via CSV. Or is there a way to get better load times on the backend?

Thank you everyone!

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

Unfortunately, creating many custom recurrence rules can lead to long load times on your site.

As a first troubleshooting step, could you please provide us with your complete system information in a private reply using the instructions found in the following link?

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for providing me with that information!

As a first step, I would recommend making sure that your plugins are always up to date so that they can run optimally.

Also, please have a look at our Performance Considerations and see if there is anything you can adjust in order to help your site run better:

After that, you may be interested in caching, so take a look at this article:  https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/caching-basics/

In addition, you can check out some of the solutions provided in this forum post:

I would also recommend looking into some of the plugins in this blog post, as they may be able to help you pinpoint where site slowness may be occurring:
