Membership 2 Pro Significantly Slows My Site Down

The site is very slow when Membership 2 Pro is activated. I tested the theme and that’s not the issue. I took off memberships (had like 12 of them now have 4). The site is slow specifically in these areas:

ADMIN – when clicking “new post” and “save” post, “new page” and “save” page.

FRONT END – when people click “register my account” for a subscription

    Hey Mike ,

    I hope you are having a nice day so far!

    The new plugin and pages section of your admin should not be slowed down by Membership 2, so I would encourage you to do a plugin conflict test – first disable all plugins except Membership 2, check if the big load is still happening and if not, try enabling plugins one by one until you find the culprit.

    Then please post back here your findings and we will investigate further.

    You could also try adding the following in your wp-config.php:

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

    WordPress has a default value of 40MB, but I see your server allows up to 256MB, so the above suggestion should help.

    Thank you and I wish you an awesome day ahead!

    Ivan
