Good evening Jacob and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!
Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.
Right now I’m using the EventOn calendar plugin and I keep hitting the PHP menu limit (1000+ events)
Does the Events Calendar have better performance or would I experience similar issues?
That is a great question!
We have customers that running tens of thousands of events on their site and that are very happy with the results.
I am not sure what your current setup is and how efficient EventOn is memory wise.
But, provided that you have a server that matches your needs (usually VPS and above – in other words shared hosting might not be the way to go if you want power), you should be fine.
We also offer the option to cache the month view, built-in.
This will work great in combination with a WordPress caching plugin such as WP Rocket for example.
Finally, our plugins are updated on very regular basis. Both for new features and performance improvement
I believe the best thing you could do is give it a try and see for yourself 🙂
Let me know if that helps.
Have a great day!
Geoff B.
