Tackling slow page saves / updates in Flynt wordpress

[chrislizardc]

When having several components on a page (i do mean like around 20 no more) its slow to update, does anyone know any tips or tricks or anything to fix this ? It is very cumbersome that when i update any component in Worpdress it takes a very long time to Save/Update the page.

Hey @chrislizardc

I probably know what you mean but it might help to define "slow" a bit closer - how long does it take you to save the post?

For me I can definitely confirm the same behaviour for pages/posts with lots of components, probably also specifically when having more fields in them.

I don't know of any magic tricks to speed things up, but a good fast hosting can definitely help. We host on Kinsta for the more complex sites and that generally makes the admin experience work quite a bit quicker.
In the same way there can be plugins that "slow down" interacting with data...I've seen reports related to WPML for example that will slow down queries and load times significantly, which might probably also affect the admin experience.

Since Flynt uses an ACF Flexible Content Field as main "page editor" you could also search for issues around slowness for saving large datasets of that - it's probably the core issue here I would suppose.

Please share should you find any generic improvement ideas.

Well nothing generic, just changed hosting to Hetzner, and with some help from a DevOps guy its working great!
