In testing with real users at foss4gna it was noted that the website is
too slow (clicking multiple times to load a project page due to lack of
response).
As I understand it Wordpress processes a database to generate each page,
and a range of caching plugins are used so this only occurs when the
content changes.
* Look at theme performance - our theme does a lot so it is probably slow
* Caching plugin - not sure if we use one
* Content Delivery Network - not sure if we use one
* Optimize images - we already use smush
* expires header to static resources?
* disable gravitar - we added this after Get Interactive gave us the site
I do not really mind what we do, but we should look at performance and do
something ...

Comment (by wildintellect):
* Sure a page load analysis is a good idea. Anyone have tool in mind to
get some numbers?
* Caching - We should probably use the web server in front of Wordpress to
handle this to avoid introducing complex dependencies in Wordpress. Focus
on caching the static assets like images, css, js libraries etc. Also we
should audit that the js libraries are coming from popular CDN for js.
* We do not currently use a CDN, we would need to scope the cost, CDNs are
not cheap. Cloudflare is another option but there have been issues with
access for some countries when using such a product.

Jive I think things improved since I moved www.osgeo.org to our own
hardware. I think we still have things we can improve like reducing size
of some images.
I installed imagemagick, bcmath as those were noted as missing and
beneficial to wordpress.

QGIS hung and was giving a 500 error. error log showed lots of errors
coming from
PHP Warning: shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in
/var/www/osgeo.org/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/libravatar-
replace/classes/ServicesLibravatar.class.php
I've disabled libavatar replace, per Jody's request and now QGIS page
comes up right away.

I've also renabled classic editor as some pages couldn't be editable. I
also upped cap to 8GB/ 4 CPU from 4GB / 2 CPU.

Comment:
Everything seems much faster after disabling libavatar replace, even the
User group list is now speedy where as it was a dog before (as Jody
commented, he had time before to get a cup of tea while the page loaded).
That said I think things are fast enough now.
If people still see more issues, feel free to reopen.

I filed https://github.com/sunchaserinfo/wp-libravatar-replace/issues/2 in
case things can be improved. Another libravatar plugin that could be
tested (in stage?) would be https://wordpress.org/plugins/libravatar/

Do we really need libravata anything? The less plugins the better.

Comment (by robe):
the more plugins you have intstalled the larger your vulnerability surface
for exploits. So unless we need it, we probably shouldn't bother. We
probably should be more vigilant about the plugins we install.

For the record: the libravatar plugin got improved (thanks to us filing
the issue) to have DNS caching enabled. I'd like to see the plugin back in
place

replace/issues/2#issuecomment-560671418
We "need" it ? No. There are lots of things we don't really need but are
nice-haves.
