Turn off Event Espresso on certain pages and site speed

I have been using Event Espresso for a long time now and love it.

Recently, we redesigned and structured our website.

The developer noticed that page load times increased by 16 seconds when he ran tests with Event Espresso turned on.

I will say I have 7 events with 200 attendees in all of them. Which could be a reason for the slow speed. However, we were wondering if there were other ways to increase speed or if there was a way to only turn on Event Espresso on certain pages.

Hey Pat,

Thank you for being a loyal Event Espresso customer. We appreciate your patronage.

Who is your host? Running Event Espresso on a shared hosting server with lots of event data could result in slowness. So, the most obvious answer to your question would be to upgrade your hosting to a more robust service if you are on a shared plan.

Are you using a caching plugin? A caching plugin could help with site load speed. However, if you use a caching plugin, be sure to exclude EE pages from caching. Here are our recommendations: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/setup-nocache-exclusion-rules-event-espresso/

Its not that Event Espresso pages that are running slow its the other pages on our site. Especially when we use our search function. When Event Espresso is activated the search and some other pages are running 16 seconds slower then when we have it deactivated.

Is it possible to Conditionally turn off scripts fro Event Espresso?

Hi there,

Which version number of Event Espresso are you running pleas?

Event Espresso 4 enqueues the scripts only when needed so you should not need to remove those. EE4 also checks the query really early on and only runs the required code if its needed so again this shouldn’t be an issue.

Is it all of the other pages that run slow?
