Problem: I have a View of custom posts that displays a map with markers, using a distance filter and sorting results by distance. In some cases the distance center is set by a URL parameter, and in others, it is set by a shortcode attribute. I have implemented some custom code in a wpv_view_settings filter to toggle between the shortcode attribute and the URL parameter. In the cases where distance center is set by a shortcode attribute, I am using another custom shortcode to get the User's predicted zip code. That shortcodes an external service to get a predicted zip code based on the User's IP address. The custom zip code service seems to be working correctly, and the results of the View seem to be accurate.
However, in the cases where this zip code shortcode is used to set the View's distance Query Filter by shortcode attribute, the View consistently causes the page generation time to jump by 3 or more seconds. I would like to try to optimize the page load time as much as possible.
Solution: In this case, testing revealed that using the custom zip shortcode inside a wpv_view_settings filter callback was the source of the delay in page generation, for some reason not fully understood. Replacing that shortcode with a hard-coded zip code resulted in a page generation time just a fraction of a second higher than the page without the View present at all.
Optimization of the zip code shortcode is necessary to prevent the latency seen in page generation time.
Problem: If no items are found in a View of WooCommerce Orders, I would like to automatically refresh the View results after a set amount of time.
Solution: There is no automatic feature for refreshing View results, nor is there a true JavaScript API for Views, but you could achieve something similar by reloading the current page in a setTimeout function added to a script tag in the wpv-no-items-found block of the View, for example:
This will reload the current page after 5 seconds if no results are found in the View. That loop of refreshing every 5 seconds would continue until results exist.
Problem: I have created an archive of WooCommerce Products that includes a wpv-woo-product-images shortcode to display the Product Image Gallery in each listing. The page itself loads quickly, but it seems that the results of the archive are hidden for a few seconds before they appear. I would like to display the results quickly.
Solution: To prevent the hidden listings upon page load, turn off the "Preload images before transition" option in the Archive's Pagination and Sliders panel > Advanced Settings area.
