This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're implementing a website using WooCommerce and WPML and notice that the admin panel is slow, particularly when accessing WooCommerce → Products, where a large number of queries are reported, including many duplicates primarily from WPML_Translation_Job_Factory->retrieve_job_data(), resulting in slow page load times.
Solution:
We recommend increasing the WordPress memory limit to at least 256MB. You can do this by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:

/* Memory Limit */<br />define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
After increasing the memory limit, update your WPML plugins via Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab. You might need to click on the button to search for updates. Once updated, check if the issue with the admin panel speed has improved.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If problems persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
I’m implementing a website for my client using WooCommerce and WPML. There are just over 20 products. I’m using the LiteSpeed Cache plugin with Redis enabled, and all plugins are up to date. The site I need help with is hidden link.

Symptoms:
When I click on WooCommerce → Products, the Query Monitor plugin reports as many as 766 queries, of which 327 are duplicated. A large portion of these come from WPML_Translation_Job_Factory->retrieve_job_data(). As a result, the admin panel runs very slowly, taking 4–8 seconds for the Products page to open.

Questions:
Do you have any recommendations on how to speed up the admin area?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- Please increase the WP memory Limit. Minimum requirements are 128Mb: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
You can add this to wp-config.php to increase WP memory:`

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

- Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

You can double-check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support

2.- Once the WordPress memory limit is increased, update the WPML plugins in Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab (you might have to click on the button to search for updates)

Then double-check if the issue has disappeared.

Can you tell me the results of the steps described above?
Regards,
Carlos
