Hi there,

since about 1 week, the custom search in hidden link --> "Was möchtest du heute entdecken?" has become very slow.
Formerly, when clicking on a button there, the result would appear in 1 or 2 seconds, now it may last more than 10 seconds!

We haven´t changed anything in this search. No new plugins had been installed in that moment. Installing the latest versions of toolset plugins didn´t help.

What has happened here?

Thank you 🙂

Hello,

Toolset Views/Blocks plugin are using WordPress built-in class WP_Query to query posts and do the custom search, there are lots of probilities can conduct the performance issue, for example:
- Server are over loaded
- other Plugins/theme compatibility issues
- Cache issue

I suggest you try these:
1) Follow our document to customize the Custom Search of your website:
https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/how-to-use-views-parametric-search-on-large-sites/

2) Follow WP document to increase your webserver PHP memory setting:
