Since my custom plugin is generating a lot of hyperlinks to other wordpress pages, the site is getting slow.
After some research, this HTTPS plugin was the bottleneck.
300+ mysql statements for retrieving the post id
therefore I would suggest a slight modification for WordPressHTTPS_Module_Parser::fixLinksAndForms() to add some kind of caching
Append after:
global $wpdb;
static $cachedUrlParts=array();Change:
} else if ( isset($url_parts['path']) && ($post = get_page_by_path($url_parts['path'])) ) {Into:
} elseif ( isset($url_parts['path']) ){
if( isset( $cachedUrlParts[ $url_parts['path'] ] ) ){
$post_id = $cachedUrlParts[ $url_parts['path'] ];
}elseif($post = get_page_by_path($url_parts['path']) ) {
$post_id = $post->ID;
}
$cachedUrlParts[ $url_parts['path'] ]= $post_id;
}
