Dropdowns actions – where are they ?

Hi

In my webshop : https://www.woolsome.shop I am struggling with its slower performance.
And I realized that on Load .. admin-ajax.php is asking woodmart_load_html_dropdowns
TWICE .. and twice receiving “Can’t load HTML blocks with AJAX” .

And it takes significant time.
I switched it off in child functions.php this way :

remove_action( ‘wp_ajax_woodmart_load_html_dropdowns’, ‘woodmart_load_html_dropdowns_action’, 99999 );
remove_action( ‘wp_ajax_nopriv_woodmart_load_html_dropdowns’, ‘woodmart_load_html_dropdowns_action’, 99999 );

And I do not see that my shop would be broken because of my change.

Can you explain where eventually I would need to have this request for woodmart_load_html_dropdowns available for my shop ?

Hello,

Try to walk through all your menu items via Appearance -> Menus and make sure that AJAX dropdowns are disabled for all of them.

Kind Regards

I made a reasearch about it and I am confused.

In this article https://space.xtemos.com/wordpress-performance-optimization-the-ultimate-guide-in-2021 you are actually recommending to setup this (Load HTML dropdown with AJAX) to YES. So it can speed up a site.

But in fact it is slowing it down as I assume, by sending not necessery requests.

What is your opinion about it ?

Yes, but it is for HTML block dropdowns only. We don’t see any dropdowns with HTML Blocks in your header. That is why it would be better to disable them for standard dropdowns.

Excellent. Thank you for your help
