Test of new forum in same category as Chit-chat
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog!
Does a forum in the same category as Chi-chat respond any differently? 30 seconds or so to publish in Chi-chat is just unacceptable.
Not much - that took around 25s to publish. Looks like a separate Category is needed to get much faster speeds but it, too will slow down as the Category fills. There's an underlying problem with the Asgaros Forum plugin that is resulting in performance degradation as content grows in the Category. And the author is not responding to support requests and has not for maybe a year or more...
Hostinger suggested Optimising the Forum's database tables. Did that. So how long to post this one?

Almost a minute! Hope that does not persist!
The Optimise function was apparently unsupported by any WP tables so it did a Recreate and Analyze.
About 50s but both done in my head so, essentially the same. No better. Bad move!
under 25s that time with a stopwatch so there is some kind of background indexing or caching that has restored speed to the range in which it was.
