Reply To: BBPress slowness save
Hi, just given my thoughts: Is your original forum (the first one) also running on a local machine or on shared hosting? I had a bbpress site that locally was running very slow. The moment I moved it to a provider, it was running great…
My checklist:
Please note that WordPress requirements/recommendations are on https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
Some things to check:
– Have you run all the repair tools of bbpress after import to be sure your structure is optimized ?
– Have you deactivated any not-needed plugin ? Is your theme ready for bbPress ?
– Did you try to run performance tools like the P3 plugin performance profiler to narrow down the possible slow parts ?
– Did gtmetrix.com indicate something ? Or what did you see using the Pingdom Tools ?
– Is it for all people in the world the same ? Check with Sucuri performance.
Plugins:
– Are you using any cache mechanism to improve speed where possible ?
– Plugins like W3 Total Cache, Batcache, WP Super Cache or other ?
– Did you check for CloudFlare or the autoptimize plugin ?

If it would come to database queries, then check these plugins:

Also note that in the upcoming bbPress v2.6, a lot of focus went on possible performance issues.
Hope it helps,
Pascal.
