Support » Plugin: AMP » Very Slow Loads and Long Query times on Dashboard

  • Resolved aaron13223

    (@aaron13223)


    Hey There,

    When the plugin is active, it takes very long to load the main dashboard and the query times are very long (checked in query monitor).

    What would you suggest to help curb this problem and make the plugin more faster and responsive. I’ve separate db server with good specs so the db doesn’t seem to the bottleneck.

    The Query is as follows:

    SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID
    FROM wp_posts
    WHERE 1=1
    AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘amp_validated_url’
    AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’
    OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘acf-disabled’
    OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘paused’
    OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘active’
    OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘queued’
    OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘finished’
    OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘future’
    OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘draft’
    OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘pending’
    OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘private’)
    AND (
    SELECT 1
    FROM wp_term_relationships
    INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy
    ON wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id = wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id
    INNER JOIN wp_terms
    ON wp_terms.term_id = wp_term_taxonomy.term_id
    WHERE wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy = ‘amp_validation_error’
    AND wp_term_relationships.object_id = wp_posts.ID
    AND wp_terms.term_group IN ( 0, 1 )
    LIMIT 1 )
    ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC
    LIMIT 0, 12

    The Caller is:

    WP_Query->get_posts
    WP_Query->query
    WP_Query->__construct
    AMP_Validated_URL_Post_Type::filter_dashboard_glance_items
    WP_Hook->apply_filters
    apply_filters(‘dashboard_glance_items’)
    wp_dashboard_right_now
    do_meta_boxes
    wp_dashboard

    Thank you so much for the great plugin and your help.

    As for the 2.0 release candidate, I’m not really sure about testing that out on a production website, I hope you understand😅

    Please let me know if you need any other info, also, I’ve tested this without W3 Total Cache as well, the same query is shown as slow and the dashboard loads slowly.

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Hey,

    I really don’t want to see the dashboard glance items and I was looking how to remove the filter.

    I could remove it by editing amp/includes/validation/class-amp-validated-url-post-type.php and commenting:

    add_filter( ‘dashboard_glance_items’, [ __CLASS__, ‘filter_dashboard_glance_items’ ] );

    But, I really don’t want to edit the plugin like this. I tried using remove_filter but that doesn’t seem to work.

    I would be happy by removing this or any other solution you provide.

    Thanks a bunch.

    Plugin Author Weston Ruter

    (@westonruter)

    Thanks for reporting this. There definitely shouldn’t be a slow query here.

    How many posts with the amp_validated_url exist on your site? How many amp_validation_error taxonomy terms?

    Aside: we need to include these in the Site Health info.

    Hey @westonruter,

    Thank you so much for the continued help and support.

    I just checked and there are 178 amp_validated_url and 2,115 amp_validation_error in which all of em have been removed.

    Hope this helps. For now I’ve disabled the ‘filter_dashboard_glance_items’ filter and the query no longer runs on the dashboard.

    But I think that might not be a appropriate solution. What are your thoughts about this? If removing the filter is the solution for now, I’d be happy to close the topic. Thanks a bunch.

    Plugin Author Weston Ruter

    (@westonruter)

    Removing the filter is a good temporary workaround. We’ll investigate and put in place a proper fix.

    Okay, Thank you so much for your help.

    Really grateful for the help provide by both of you. @westonruter @jamesosborne

    Thanks alot again.

    Plugin Contributor Alain Schlesser

    (@schlessera)

    @aaron13223,

    You should be able to remove the filter without modifying the plugin via the following remove_filter call:

    remove_filter( 'dashboard_glance_items', [ 'AMP_Validated_URL_Post_Type', 'filter_dashboard_glance_items' ] );

    However, I’d like to look into what is causing the slow SQL execution in this case, so I’d also be grateful for any additional information you could provide:

    – How long does the query actually take to execute in your case?
    – Are you able to run SQL queries directly against the database, for example via WP-CLI’s db query command?
    If yes, can you run the above query by pretending the EXPLAIN keyword? This will gives us details about how the database server goes about resolving this query.
    As an example, here’s what it does on my machine: https://share.getcloudapp.com/8LuPo5yp

    Seeing this would be hugely helpful, because I suspect there might be an indexing issue on your server.

    Thanks for helping us get to the bottom of this!

    Thread Starter aaron13223

    (@aaron13223)

    Hey @schlessera,

    Really sorry for the delayed response. The filter that you provided doesn’t seem to work, I still have the filter removed in the plugin file.

    – I’m attaching the image for the query execution: https://ibb.co/QND2zQJ
    – I’m not really good at using wp-cli, so is that necessary?, if it is, I can learn it up and have the screenshot attached as well.

    As you’ve said about the indexing issue, It might actually be the problem, do you suggest a way to have this checked or a way to fix the indexing so the test can be conducted again? What do you suggest to fix the indexing if the issue actually exists.

    Again, thank you so much for your continued support and help.

    Plugin Author Weston Ruter

    (@westonruter)

    @aaron13223 Do you have access to phpMyAdmin or some other MySQL UI? You can run the EXPLAIN command there as well.

    Thread Starter aaron13223

    (@aaron13223)

    Hey @westonruter,

    I just ran this query in mysql: EXPLAIN SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS id from wp_posts;

    Here’s the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/u43gio

    Do you want me to run the full query? If so, can you please share the query and I’ll try running that.

    Thanks for your help.

    Plugin Author Weston Ruter

    (@westonruter)

    Yes, please run the full query that was flagged as being slow. It’s the query you first screenshotted in Query Monitor.

    Thread Starter aaron13223

    (@aaron13223)

    Oh ohkay, I just misunderstood. I ran the query which was being marked as slow and took the screenshot.

    Take a look: https://prnt.sc/u43n8x

    Thanks again.

    (@schlessera)

    @aaron13223 The query itself seems to run as fast as expected on its own (0.001 sec on your MariaDB screenshot), and the EXPLAIN does not show any immediate issues as far as I can see.

    However, on your QueryMonitor screenshot, I can see that the query runs through an extra DBCache (probably via W3TotalCache?). Have you tried disabling that DBCache to see whether that fixes the issue?

    Thread Starter aaron13223

    (@aaron13223)

    Hey @schlessera,

    Yes, I’ve tried disabling W3 Total Cache but it still runs slow for some reason. I also tried disabling everything except AMP & Query Monitor, yet it was still slow.

    I’m at a loss here, do you wish see any other information that could help you?

    Thank you so much for your help.
