Barry, <\/p>\n
I am starting a new thread as you suggested. I will respond to your suggestions one at a time here:<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve looked at your site and noted (for instance) that month view is set to display a very large number of events per day, rather than cutting things off at a maximum of 4 followed by a see more link.<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s still the case, would it be possible to amend that setting (and similarly, if you have configured things so that a large number of events are shown in list-type views perhaps that could also be reduced by some margin).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I have disabled the month view because I need to be as efficient as I can with my site’s resources. I also disabled the map view for the same reason. I hated doing that, but those views are not that important to the site at this point. On my list view pages, I am only showing 10 events at a time.<\/p>\n
Beyond that I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s too much we can offer right at this time especially as I\u2019m aware we\u2019ve covered many of the standard options potentially available to you in the course of previous support threads. Well tailored caching makes a tremendous difference but I realize caching is handled automatically by your host and so you\u2019re pretty restricted there \u2026 maybe it\u2019s worth talking to them to see if there\u2019s anything else they can do?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It is your company’s plugin that is causing the endless queries and that is where our solution is. It has been several months now (the post that I responded to was written in mid April and your company has not fixed this. <\/p>\n
If you are dealing with large traffic spikes I also wonder if scaling up (temporarily) \u2013 or scaling out \u2013 is an option?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Scaling up or down is not an issue with WPEngine. It is done automatically (but more expensively). I have talked to WPE about some minimizing strategies. We are trying to set things up so we can get through the next week.<\/p>\n
Thanks for your concern,
\nJohn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-262793","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nLong Query & Site Timing Out -<\/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\/long-query-site-timing-out\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Long Query & Site Timing Out -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Barry, I am starting a new thread as you suggested.
