So... My board has been very slow the last few days. It just happened out of no where. And it is only the WPForo part that is slow. Taking 15-20 seconds to load every page. Many times users are getting a dark background loading for most of that time. (I believe that is one of my main BG colors)
Anyone have an idea of what this could be all of a sudden? It seems so strange. WPForo was last updated on Dec. 28. So it is not like anything changed there. The only thing I can think of was I THINK that The Advanced Attachments plugin for WPForo was updated a few days ago. Could that be causing the issue?
It is so strange...
Any advise on how to tackle this problem?
When I put WPForo in to "Under Construction" mode. Everything goes back to normal with the forum speed. (Obviously since it is no longer loading)
Just follow the standard Wordpress debug route. Enable wp debug to a log and see for errors.
I already see some possible issue (but i can't tell if this is the cause)
downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer (font-family: "FontAwesome" style:normal weight:400 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.15.4/webfonts/fa-solid-900.eot
What i see is the FORUM being slow. The rest of the site is ok.
I turned on Debug but I honestly have no idea what this all means.

There are several plugins in there, GEO-IP, WP-STATISTICS, gd-system-plugin .....
I don't think it is related to wpForo but somehow it is doing that IN wpFORO slowdown.
What is your PHP version?
Check wpForo db tools etc etc.
What I am seeing. I am not having either email or theme issues.
