Backend is extremely slow when WPML is activated

[yildirim flugreisen]

Hi,

my backend is extremely slow when WPML is activated. It takes up to half a minute to load any page in the backend. Frontend is not affected by the problem. Turning off WPML solves the issue.

When I turn off “all” other plugins except WPML, the backend loads faster. But when activating even the basic plugins the backend is getting slower with every plugin I activate.

It is realy hard to something when every klick takes up to half a minute.

I have already submit a ticket to the WPML-support on April the 6th. Since than we do not found any solution.

Hi

With that dated on April 6th, I’m guessing you had the issue with another theme?
If that’s the case then it could be down to your hosting.

What was the last theme you were using, one of ours or someone else’s?

Hi Kyle,

I am just using Cardinal.

The hosting of my site https://www.yildirim.reisen is on a dedicated server
– Prozessor: A8i Intel Atom C2750
– SPEED: 8 Cores x 2,4 GHz (2,6 GHz Turbo Boost)
– RAM: 8 GB DDR3 ECC
– STORAGE: 1000 GB Sata

so I don’t think that is down to my hosting. The WPML-Support deployed my site on there own server and they have the same issues.

Thank you for support!

Hi,

Those are the physichal settings of the machine, there is a lot of the Appache tunning and Mysql tunning envolved.

This also happens with the default WordPress theme active?

Hi @yildirim.reisen

It’s unlikely it would be as slow with the default WordPress theme active, as there isn’t much to translate with that theme.

WPML support should be able to locate the issue, this is a support query for them, not us. Cardinal is verified by them as being 100% WPML compatible, and we haven’t ever had any slowdown issues – nor have we heard of this from any other customer. What have they said regarding the matter?

Hi Ed,

at least they said something like this:

Actually I am not sure that performance is a criteria for compatibility.
Moreover, the theme may introduce some filters which may create performance issues when combinated with some other plugins…

You can find the ticket here:

I don’t think that they can solve this issue. Can you recommend some other translation plugins?

Thanks

Hi there,

Apologies to hear you are having issues with them. It is a very powerful plugin, but all that power does need a lot of processing power.

The only other plugin I would recommend is qTranslate. Hopefully WPML can get back to you with some real answers soon.

Hi Ed, no they don’t so WPML is no option at the moment.

Is it possible to get the language switcher in the right corner to link it just to another main page?

German – http://www.yildirim.reisen
Turkish – http://www.yildirim.reisen/tr

I would like to separate this pages cause of the performance problems with WPML.

Hi,

If you deactivate WPML this code below will be executed in cardinal\swift-framework\core\sf-header.php in line 1516

You can change the code to whatever you need

 $language_output .= '<li><a href="#">DEMO - EXAMPLE PURPOSES</a></li><li><a href="#"><span class="language name">German</span></a></li><li><div class="current-language"><span class="language name">English</span></div></li><li><a href="#"><span class="language name">Spanish</span></a></li><li><a href="#"><span class="language name">French</span></a></li>' . "\n";

Hope it helps.

As I can see I can’t sent you my sf-header.php

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

Apologize I meant to write sf-functions.php
Check again.

-Rui

[yildirim flugreisen]

No Problem 🙂

I have changed this lines like I want to.

1. Is there an easy way to put any flags in it like in WPML?

2. And more important, how should I add the “sf-functions.php” to the child theme?
– just with the changed code?
– do I have to put any folders like in the cardinal theme?
