Hey, I’ve got the FV Gravatar Cache installed on my site for the past few years. However, when I do a Pingdtom speed test, i see 246 requests, most of them to the gravatar server:
https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/7glZ6/http://regevelya.com/building-muscle-for-skinny-guys/
Does it mean the website doesn’t serve FV Gravatar Cache’s stored gravatars? It seems to pull them from Gravatar servers
Any idea how to fix this?
thanks!

Hello Regev,
the avatar size on your site appears to be 108 pixels. Is that matched in Settings -> FV Gravatar Cache -> Gravatar size?
What does the “Cache information” say on that page?
Does the “Cache directory” displayed on that page exist?
Is the “Daily cron” option checked?
You can also enable “Debug mode” and then check what appears in the log file.
Thanks,
Martin
Hmmm the gravatar size was 96… does it make any difference actually? Can this break the plugin?
Hello Regev,
looking at your site again I can see that the cached avatar is used for 193 out of 577 comment authors.
What does the “Cache information” say on the plugin page?
Perhaps there is something strange about the user email address. Can you post the email of the user who posted the “Oh and my height is 6,1.” comment? We won’t publish his address, I just wonder if it uses anything out of ordinary.
Thanks,
Martin
Hello Regev,
you posted the email address of your commenter to us. I checked it on our site and it caches properly.
You said it’s also visible in the “Cache information” section of the plugin settings screen. If you know PHP, you can check if it’s present in the $gravatars array in FV_Gravatar_Cache::GetAvatar(): https://github.com/foliovision/fv-gravatar-cache/blob/master/fv-gravatar-cache.php#L182
Perhaps there is some limit in your object cache. Are you using APC or memcached? Please ask your server support if you are not sure.
Thanks,
Martin
Im using W3 total cache.
So, is my Gravatar FV not working properly?
Hello Regev,
it appears something is failing. I’m not sure if it’s our plugin or there is some strange plugin conflict.
We are verifying how it works on our sites with a lot of comments.
Thanks,
Martin
Please let me know how to fix it.
