Speed up loading of full calendar page

[Lucy]

Hello,

I am working on optimising my website to try and speed things up and am looking at caching as well as other things i can do.

The slowest page on my website by quite a way is the one with the full calendar view on it: http://www.omyogaworks.co.uk/timetable/

– and as I do not want to cache this page and risk showing old events / not showing updated ones – I am wondering if there is anything I can do to speed up the loading if the main calendar view page? I have ticked ‘Enable the Month View Cache’ in Events > Settings > Display already.

Many thanks in return,
Luy

Good evening Lucy and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about this page on your site being so slow.
I would love to help you with this topic.

I am not sure exactly what type of hosting you have (shared, vps, etc..), nor do I know how many events you have.

But, what I can tell you is that there are things you can totally do to improve the speed. First, read the 2 following articles:

1. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/performance-considerations/
2. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/caching-basics/

As you can see, caching is totally possible. One trouble-free solution for that is WP Rocket.

Additionally, you might want to:

1. Limit the number of events displayed in Events -> Settings -> General and Events -> Settings -> Display
2. Consider upgrading to PHP7 which is much faster
3. Consider getting away from a shared hosting solution if that is your situation.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
