Why is my site slow?
DAP is pretty lightweight. There’s nothing in dap that would slow down the site.
Are you protecting static files using DAP and are these files outside of wp-content/uploads folder ? If yes, then it can be resource intensive.
There are ways to update .htaccess to try and make it less resource intensive. Open a ticket with us with the type of files (outside of wp-content/uploads) that you want to protect and we will let you know how to update .htaccess. If you protect static files (like php, pdf) and if they are outside of wp-content/uploads folder, then that can be resource intensive.
Also, if logging into DAP admin dashboard is what is slowing down your site then it could be that your host has an issue with fopen or firewall that prevents communication with digitalaccesspass.com.
When you connect to DAP admin panel on your site, it tries to connect to our site (digitalaccesspass.com) for license check but the call might be failing.
This is not something that will impact users on your site because this check is ONLY made when an admin logs in to dap admin panel.
Someone else recently had this issue and this is what their HOST replied:
“Your firewall is not currently active so this was not the cause. However it seems there was an issue with your resolv.conf file which was causing your server to be unable to resolve digitalaccesspass.com.
I have corrected this for you and it now resolves properly. ”
So talk to your webhost and make sure that’s not an issue.
