I've been using wpForo for several months, and everything worked fine at first. However, after my forum grew to more than 1,000 registered members and a few thousand posts, page loading times became noticeably slower. Topic pages sometimes take several seconds to load, especially during peak traffic hours.
I've already enabled caching and optimized my database, but the performance improvement has been minimal. Has anyone faced a similar issue with wpForo? I'd appreciate any suggestions on settings, plugins, or server optimizations that could help improve forum speed.
wpForo is designed to be very fast and to work with both small and large databases. However, there are several factors that may affect its performance.
