In my first week on the job, I was tasked with speeding up a site that was incredibly slow. And when I say slow, I mean REALLY slow: 40 seconds or longer to save a single post. 20 seconds or more just to get to the post editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spoiler: We got it to work! And this is the story of how we fixed it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We dug through endless lines of code.
We read some fantastic resources on the topic.
We spoke to our friends in the community, who are experts in their respective fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The technical details of this talk include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
xhprof with a custom addition that I wrote.
The filter \u2018posts_clauses\u2019.
The function \u2018dbDelta()\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Join me for a deep dive into the techniques and strategies we used to dramatically improve the site\u2019s performance. You\u2019ll walk away with actionable insights and practical tips to speed up your own site!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
