Reduce long loading time of cities and state about acf-city-selector

[Beee4life]

This exact point (sometimes slow response) is mentioned in the plugin's disclaimer.

The states and cities need to be loaded once to create the transient, which speeds up the process.
You could manually call the transient function when loading the field ? So it's created already when it's needed.

Is there are reason to pre load all cities right after load states?

Cities are loaded after country change, not after load states s not sure what you mean.

It looks that it makes second request for load all cities and in cases like India it is about 2.7s.

I didn't provide any country packages for India, so I can't take responsibility for that file, since I don't know the contents.

@Beee4life the point is to not trigger load of cities after select country if state is not selected, now it tries to get all cities within country. I am not so good understand WP logic behind this, but this can be problem for users, the UI is stuck within big countries.

That's why I suggested a preload. I changed this on purpose a few versions ago... to try and minimize the loading time.

[Beee4life]

I'm not saying that was the ideal/perfect decision... because state is still obligated to enter (if you don't choose 'country + city'), so I will look into it, if I have some time.

Ok, I understand the logic behind this it make sense, thanks for looking on this.

[Beee4life]

I am focusing right now on cleaning code to get the plugin into the official WP repo so that has priority.

[Beee4life]

I have removed the loading of cities on change country, see here. Now only states are loaded.

I will optimize it a bit more later on.

Thank you, it works better now.

Good, then I'll close this topic for now.
