We’re noticing slow load times on our forum. Our hosting provider ran a New Relic test and found that the “Walker” template seems to be rather slow. Is this a common issue? Is there a way to fix it?

sorry, this is way beyond any help that could be offered on a forum – this is the equivalent of saying ‘my car is making a funny noise’ – don’t take that the wrong way, just trying to explain 🙂 🙂

your screenshot shows one element of 200odd taking 6 seconds – would tend to suggest an issue with a particular reply in your database, maybe corrupt, maybe long, maybe calls to a slow external site.

You’d need to run that test against lots of variants of forum display to try and isolate the cause.

Got it – thank you! Certainly not sure what I’m looking for here, but I appreciate and understand your explanation.
