Performance

Problem:
If you're experiencing a very high autoload from

icl_sitepress_settings

, you're not alone as this is a known issue.
Solution:
We are currently working on a fix to reduce the size in future versions of WPML. Unfortunately, there is no immediate workaround available, and it is suggested to remove or clear autoload options. While we cannot provide an exact release date, the fix is scheduled for the next major release of WPML.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.

Problem:
The client is experiencing critical performance issues with WPML on their multilingual site, including high Time To First Byte (TTFB) and additional database queries. They have tried various optimizations but the issues persist. They also face SEO issues with WPML-generated multilingual slugs being improperly indexed by Google.
Solution:
We recommend setting up a staging site to safely test changes without affecting the production environment. Follow these steps:
1) Install the Query Monitor plugin from https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
2) Monitor the load time and number of queries using the tool provided by the plugin.
3) Disable all WPML plugins and check the load time and query count again.
4) Disable all other plugins, activate only WPML plugins, and switch to the WordPress default theme to isolate the issue.
Please report back with the results of each step.

If this solution does not resolve the issues or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.

Problem:
The client is experiencing severe slowdowns in the WordPress admin area, particularly when accessing pages like /wp-admin/plugins.php, /wp-admin/edit.php, and /wp-admin/post.php. The slowdowns are related to high memory usage and long response times when WPML String Translation is active. Deactivating the WPML String Translation plugin significantly improves backend performance.

Solution:
We recommend the following steps to diagnose and potentially resolve the issue:
1. Ensure all plugins and themes are up to date.
2. Create a full site backup or a staging site to safely test changes without affecting the live site.
3. Deactivate all plugins, including WPML plugins, and switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty.
4. Activate WordPress debug mode by following the guide at https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/.
5. Reactivate the WPML plugins and monitor the site's performance.
6. If the issue is resolved, reactivate other plugins and the theme one by one to identify any conflicts.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, or if the solution provided here becomes outdated or does not directly address your specific 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 for further assistance at WPML support forum.

Problem:
Die Webseite ist im Frontend sehr langsam, und im Fehlerprotokoll wird mehrfach pro Sekunde derselbe Fehler angezeigt: Active record record not found: Couldn't find Translator with [WHERE `translators_websites`.`website_id` = ? AND `translators`.`email` = ?].
Solution:
1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle Admin- und Übersetzerprofile in WordPress vollständig sind, einschließlich gültiger E-Mail-Adressen und Namen.
2. Überprüfen Sie die Ladezeiten der Webseite ohne WPML und mit verschiedenen Plugins, um festzustellen, ob WPML tatsächlich die Ursache für die Verlangsamung ist. In diesem speziellen Fall scheint WPML nicht der Hauptgrund für die langsamen Ladezeiten zu sein, da die Webseite auch ohne WPML langsam lädt.
3. Nutzen Sie WP DEBUG, um nach vorhandenen Fehlern zu suchen und melden Sie diese an die entsprechenden Support-Teams.
