[EVENT_LIST category_identifier….. causing slow pages

I have recently added [EVENT_LIST short codes to some of my front end pages. I like how goggle is indexing their content and including it within search results for new customers. The trade off now those pages take much longer now to load (maybe 6 or 7 seconds longer). Is there any workaround solution to speed things up? I already have my site cached. Is there any way to have this dynamic content somehow more static so it takes less to load?

Thought – Is there any Lazy load plugin or feature that could add this content after pages displays?

Hi Troy,

That shortcode should not cause a significant delay. Could you share a link so we can take a look?

Here are two pages with the EVENT LIST short code:

http://www.inpulsecpr.com/florida/tampabay/
http://www.inpulsecpr.com/minnesota/twincities/

I am using the category attribute with each of these. As you can see, I have quite a bit of classes 20+ for each of these. In all, I have well over a 100 active events. Not sure if this is why my site struggles as it churns through generating this data.

Thanks. Both of those loaded instantly for me. I was waiting for a delay but I did not experience one.

I’ll ask a team member to try the links.

I rad the speed test also. First result was 17 seconds, second result was 15 seconds, third test was 2 seconds. Not really sure why the wide range of results.

I did some changes with caching and adding a CDN. It looks like it has improved some. Thanks.
