Everything in my setup (latest ACF, latest WP) is working fine but found a huge bottleneck and timed a single get_field call:
$time_start = microtime(true);
$link = get_field('case', 193);
$time_end = microtime(true);
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
Where $time is approx 3seconds!
I am dumbfounded as what can be the cause of this – the post/postmeta tables look fine, I am using ACF all over the site with no problems.
Any clues? Directions on where to look?
So it turns out this was because I was using a relatively consuming task to dynamically populate a select field. I was not aware that this needed to be run when simply retrieving the value of the select field. Why is this?
