Background of the issue:
I was trying to edit posts on my WordPress site. Here is the API call I attempted: {"url":"hidden link","requestArgs":{"method":"GET"},"status":"http_request_failed"}. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link.
Symptoms:
I encountered a slow dashboard when trying to edit posts.
Questions:
Why is the dashboard slow when I try to edit posts?
Is the API call related to the slow dashboard issue?
Please let me know when the backup is complete so I can investigate issues on your site. If you have a staging site, please share access with me. I'm enabling a private message for the following reply.
Hi, I temporarily deactivated the 3plugin with erros, ad that's the new debug log

If you are still experiencing a performance issue in the backend and suspect that WPML causes it, please try the following proceedure.
We suspect a collision with the theme or another plugin might cause this problem. If possible, get your site into a minimum environment, switching to a default WordPress theme like TwentyTwenty-Four and activating only WPML.
First, check whether the problem persists when only the theme is switched to TwentyTwenty-Four (for example). If it persists, deactivate all plugins except WPML and its add-ons. Then, please check if the problem persists. If it does not continue, start by activating the plugins individually and checking when the issue comes back, then report to me which plugin was the culprit.
**** Important! Please make a full site backup (files and DB) before you proceed with those steps****
*** If your site is live, you might want to try those procedures in a staging environment or a snapshot of your site on your local server or another server. ***
this is exaclty what I'm saying. If I deactivated these plugin no more issues on my dashboard.
no debug errors.
if one of them is active. I have problem.
If I turn them on, the server crashes and I need to restart it continuosly.
I have escalated that to the 3 plugin support but at the moment no reply from them
Thanks for clarifying the state of this case on your site.
We can check on our end to see if there is any collision with any of the mentioned plugins. But to debug this issue, we need a copy of your site. Please allow me to take a copy of your site. For this, I must install a plugin such as Duplicator or All-in-One Migration. Please let me know if you agree.
I logged into your site and saw that, out of the three plugins you mentioned, only the Satispay for WooCommerce plugin is deactivated. Your site's backend functions alright. Could the problem be only with the Satispay for WooCommerce plugin, and not with the two other plugins you mentioned?
I installed the All-In-One migration plugin + Pro on your site to make a copy of it. After I added filters, such as excluding media files, I got a package of 11GB. That is a lot, and it takes time to download. From my experience, it will also take time to install it on my local server. And sometimes, such large packages fail. Still, I'm downloading the package now.
Investigating things on a staging site may be a good idea. Please check our guide on how to analyze performance issues with the Query Monitor plugin: https://wpml.org/ja/tutorials/2019/10/analyze-performance-issues-with-query-monitor/. Can you install the Query Monitor plugin and analyze where WPML is the culprit for the many queries?
Also, could you grant me access to the staging site?
For this, I'm enabling a private message for the following reply.
Please note that my weekends are Friday to Saturday. If you need further assistance, I'll be available to continue checking this issue and helping you next week.
I have your staging site (hidden link) set to the minimum environment. I switched the theme to the WordPress default theme, Twenty Twenty-Five, instead of the Salient child theme. And I only left the following plugins active.
- WooCommerce
- WPML Multilingual CMS
- Strings Translation
- WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce
- Query Monitor
And the three plugins you said are causing the problem.
- RegistrationMagic
- Satispay for WooCommerce
- Download Monitor
And I don't see any performance issue on the backend of your site. In particular, I don't see any performance issues related to WPML.
Please answer the following questions.
1. What must be active to see this problem?
2. Is it the Salient child theme that must be active?
3. Is it also another third-party plugin?
4. What backend pages do I need to visit to see the performance issue?
5. Have you received an answer from any of the plugins' support you said you contacted?
HI Itamar,
Salient child is mandatory. I have a lot of customization since years
I still have the 3 plugin active o the living site and it's still slow.
Satispay seems to be the worse one.
It's the only one who I can turn off and I did so to be able to edit my pages.
The debug still shows same issues.
My server support also noted the same
no answer from the other plugin, I sent them the debug file.
Did you check the screenshoot I sent you?
Are these note related to this slowness?
please note that since months i also have a lot of heavy autoloads related to WPML that cannot be reduced anyhow.
