Can you install the WordPress Debug Bar: http://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar/

This provides a tab in the dashboard to see what database queries might be taking a long time to load.

Thanks.

Hello, I installed this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/ at the request of the Woocommerce Memberships developer on Friday late afternoon. (I have not heard back from them but they don’t work weekends.) Does this plugin you are requesting do something different ? Looks quite similar? Will add if you want but figured I’d ask first. Thanks!

Hello there,
I’m giving up on the Woocommerce Memberships plugin. Busily installing another solution now and if it works, I will share in this forum. Thanks for sticking with me through this frustrating odyssey, I really don’t think it’s your theme anyway. So hold off any further poking around for now. I will report back and share what works. Think I found something. Thanks!

So, for anyone following this odyssey with bated breathe:

1. Woocommerce Memberships $150 plugin was slowing down my site speed significantly once I added my membership plans. I uninstalled.
2. Instead, I installed too excellent plugins for what I needed (which was to provide membership level discounts on different product categories to different types of members). One was the free Members plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/). This allowed me to create different roles for each of my different members on the backend. When folks purchase a membership (ours are free), we then manually assign them a role. Not actually a bad thing – I noticed with the other plugin that if you deleted your old orders, ALL OF YOUR MEMBERSHIPS DISAPPEARED!!! Not so with this system. Anyway, then, using Pricing Deals for Woocommerce https://wordpress.org/plugins/pricing-deals-for-woocommerce/ (premium version), I could assign the discounts to different membership levels for different products. Voila. No site speed issues.

Thank you to the kind folks at Swift Themes for their patience and help as I worked through this incredibly frustrating issue!

hi,

Regarding your private question, It seems a server setting issue.
This was the solution I found for that.

“guess you might be able to work around it by turning off gzip encoding on the server that host update metadata.”

Glad that you manage to sort it with other plugin, we did what was possible.
Thanks for the kind words.
