I do realise that The Events Calendar is one of the bigger plugins and that it&#8217;s unavoidable it has an impact on performance.<\/p>\n<p>The problem seems that every one of our plugins and the theme on itself work fine, but combined, it all goes down the drain. We cannot afford to employ a WordPress developer just to have a default blog, calendar and some other functionality so we had to make the hard decision to strip out the calendar and all other things and nice-to-haves for now. <\/p>\n<p>One of our solutions would be to split of the blog in a separate sub-site. And to have the main WordPress only contain some pages and the calendar. Would that be a good solution?
