This is a really good idea that you guys would greatly benefit from implementing because the more events that are stored using the current method results with the more bogged down a site becomes.  In our case, our events site has become unbearably slow and has to be corrected with a lot of caching and other means to make the site even usable.<\/p>\n<p>This alternative data storage method would make everyone&#8217;s sites so much faster and I ask if you guys would consider following in WooCommerce&#8217;s steps for the easy major performance improvement?  Thanks for all the great work you guys do; it really is so highly appreciated and I hope I can give back to you by recommending something that would severely improve the quality of your product even more than it already is!! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1580257","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Feature request: alt data storage method for significant performance increase -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/feature-request-alt-data-storage-method-for-significant-performance-increase\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Feature request: alt data storage method for significant performance increase -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello friends at Modern Tribe; I have a recommendation for you.
