BuddyBoss Wall Performance

[James]

Hi guys,

Using BuddyBoss and BuddyBoss Wall, both current versions…

1. When I do a normal status update on the Activity feed, it’s quick. But when I do a BB Wall post to a user’s wall, it takes 5+ seconds to post usually. This is just a few words of text, not trying to attach images or anything.

2. Is there any way to get some sort of visual feedback as the user waits for the post to load? Meaning, it’s confusing to hit “Post Update” button and nothing happens onscreen until the post finally appears. In other areas of BuddyPress, buttons have that “clocking” effect. Is there a way to add that to other buttons?

Thanks so much for any help!

@jgwolfensberger it doesn’t take my dev site longer than a second to post with any amount of text. But I thought our post button had the clocking, but I confirmed it doesn’t. I’ll submit this to the developers but can’t guarantee a high priority on it.

Do you have any other posting plugins installed like rtMedia or BP Activity Plus or Activity Privacy?

Hi TJ –

I did do the whole “disable plugins” troubleshooting steps, but couldn’t get BuddyBoss Wall to speed up.

Please don’t troubleshoot at the moment, however. Coincidentally, we’re going to try a different VPS host today, because we’re evaluating performance of several before going live with out site.

Since you didn’t recreate the delay which tells us it normally works great, let me see how the new host performs just in case it is somehow related to the speed of BuddyBoss Wall. I’ll come back to this thread and tag you if I still need some assistance with this later.

Thanks man!

@jgwolfensberger @tjchester For the button to have a loader it needs to actually be a “button” but BuddyPress uses an input instead. Not possible to do this with an input, and if we change it to a button it will break compatibility with plugins.
