Everything is up-to-date.<\/p>\n<p>However, the site is sooooo slooooow, like 15-20 seconds to load the homepage, even longer for the calendar. This has been a constant nuisance since the beginning, but tonight I just got a message from a user is wanted to know if the site was always as slow as it is, do we have a problem she asked.<\/p>\n<p>Since we are a calendar-based site, the calendar is the focus point, we have month view as default 3 events showing per day. But why would the homepage be so slow as well? <\/p>\n<p>WP Rocket doesn&#8217;t work on the calendar page&#8211;they said that there&#8217;s a known conflict with the Events Calendar&#8211;so which caching plugins DO work? I have to disable it on the events page or else the page won&#8217;t load. I purchased WP Rocket on Modern Tribe&#8217;s recommendation. <\/p>\n<p>Also, the backend is really slow too, could that indicate a problem with my hosting? I&#8217;ve already sent them a support ticket regarding the slowness as well.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we haven&#8217;t been deleting events that have passed, could this be an issue? We have at least a thousand that have already happened. Could those old events slow the site like this? Clearly, I&#8217;m not a super savvy WP\/dev person.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re coming up to the end of our year with the Events Calendar and wondering whether it&#8217;s in our best interest to renew our licence.
