WPLMS Speed

[dez]

I'm having lots of trouble with WPLMS running very slowly on our VPS server. It takes a long time (sometimes up to 45 seconds to load a page). This is with only one user logged in and 2 courses, so there is not a big load on the server. I appreciate the Buddy Press and WPLMS have some intensive plugins, but it feels that it is currently unusable at this current speed. I have other Wordpress sites installed that all run very fast so I don't think it is the server. My questions are: 1) On your servers, how quickly are you seeing pages load roughly. i.e. what is the norm? 2) I read that adding a caching plugin doesn't make any difference - is this true. 2a) If they are beneficial, which one do you recommend? 2b) Are there any non-essential plugins within WPLMS that I can turn off? 3) Do you know of any popular plugins that when installed alongside WPLMS it causes speed issues or conflicts? 4) Any other tips to get the site working faster? Many thanks,

Well first of all please check your php error log for errors . Please also share it here with us to examine . Add this plugin : Query monitor in your site and check which plugins are causing load on your site . https://kinsta.com/blog/query-monitor/ you can deactivate any plugins except : vibe course module, vibe customtypes ,budddypress . and yes caching helps a bit for caching refer : https://vibethemes.com/documentation/wplms/knowledge-base/wplms-with-w3-total-cache/
