It turns out it&#8217;s due to events calendar. When disabled the server response time is 1.5 seconds. When activated the server response time is 5.7 seconds. We have plenty of power on the server. It&#8217;s a VPS 8 core with 8GB RAM and the speed problems are only with Events Calendar activated.<\/p>\n<p>We do have a lot of events however &#8211; 4000 roughly. Could the number of events be the problem, or would you not expect this behaviour? I&#8217;ve seen other comments about MySQL max_join_size value being one possible area to look at, but I&#8217;m not sure when to find this value?<\/p>\n<p>Could you please offer some advice to help us troubleshoot the problem. We like working with EC and have invested a lot of time in it. We&#8217;d rather not have to find another calendar solution but the site speed is seriously compromised at the moment which is impacting on our users and bounce rate.
