Plugin Makes Duplicate Queries

    I manage a blog with a very active discussion area (for the amount of traffic). Comment count each day get up to 200. Our current comment count is over 350,000.

    I have been noticing some slowdowns of the site over the last 1-2 months. In an effort to determine the cause, I installed the WP Query Monitor plugin. It showed that this plugin is doing what appears to be duplicate queries on post pages (that show comments).

    Perhaps it would be more efficient if the plugin could use the ‘core’ comment query results for it’s use. This would seem to result in a more efficient use of server resources when comments and comment widgets are used on a page.

    Thanks….Rick

    Hi, @rhellewellgmailcom .

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having difficulty with what appears to be duplicate queries by our plugin on post pages that show comments (as found by WP Query Monitor and which could be contributing to the slowdowns of your site). Thanks for getting in touch so we can help you sort it out.

    So that we can assist you best with this and look into the issue further, please could you send us a message via our dedicated Support Center and mention this support topic as reference.

    Many thanks! I look forward to hearing from you. I will mark this topic as resolved in the meantime.

    Hi Rick, please ignore the above reply. My colleague thought that this issue referred to one of our paid plugins, for which support is handled via our support center. For this plugin, support queries are dealt with here on wordpress.prg. sorry for the confusion.

    I’m currently investigating the issue in more detail and will get back to you soon.

    Kind regards,

    Andy

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for your patience. I’ve investigated this in more detail and I’m unable to reproduce the duplicate queries issue you mention. When using the Better Recent Comments widget, the plugin will fetch the most recent comments (default is the 5 most recent) and display them in the sidebar.

    For the comments on a single post, these are fetched separately by the theme and the comments listed will be only those that are for the current post. So these will most likely differ from the recent comments in the sidebar which includes comments from all posts.

    I’ve also run the Query Monitor plugin and it doesn’t show any duplicate queries coming from the plugin. If you can provide more information on the duplicates you’re seeing, let me know.
