client have post with a lot of meta data and there are multiple image_advanced fields. The backend site is too slow due the admin-ajax requests to this fields. (a lot of 500/502 errors and at the end the site crashes).
Is there a way for this problem?
Can be this fields simple rewrited to type "image"? Create this field "non" ajax requests?
The data for these 2 field types are the same, so you want to switch field type, it's ok to do so.
Besides, the ajax request is very minimal as it only queries for attachments. There's no requests to other resources (CSS, JS). So if you see a lot of errors, I think the website should be optimized.
we have problems only in administration of website. The frontend is super fast with no problem and no errors. I read a lot of blog posts about admin-ajax that says that this file in more use cause WP very slow - that's right.
back to my question. Do field type "image" ajax request similiar as "image_advanced"? Have you tip to "unlock" backend site due a lot of admin-ajax requests on "image_advanced" fields?
The image field don't have any ajax request. It's a simple HTML5 file field. That probably is the reason why it's fast.

Interesting. That might be related to the WP backend. Probably WP doesn't optimize the back end too much, especially if there are many plugins behave poorly on the back end.
this problem is only with your plugin. There are no other plugins, that are using admin-ajax.If client have for example product site, with galleries, various products image fields ... the backend is "dead" - the fields are not loaded (502 errors).
Is that 40 fields or 40 images per field? The number of requests = the number of fields * the number of clones. All of the requests are sent at the time of loading. So that might be the bottleneck.
Do you see the same error when you insert image to the post content the normal way?
There are fields (image_advanced) with multiple files support for gallery purpose.. other fields are single image_advanced. What do you mean "* the number of clones"? Yes - this is a problem. The website run over 2 year with this configuration and amount of files with no problem after now.
There is no error, if i insert image to the post content, no errors if i'm on the post edit, where are not these image_advanced fields.
