Background of the issue:
I am trying to edit Ajax request headers that the addon 'Multi-Currency Features for WooCommerce' (https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/) makes when using the multicurrency feature, so that I can set up Cloudflare to cache that request. I can do that by editing the ajax request headers that the addon sends. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
Symptoms:
I expected to see my site performing as it usually does, ranking green, since I already use WP Rocket and Cloudflare. Instead, I got a slow site that disregards the cache due to the ajax request that invalidated the site on each load.
Questions:
How can I edit the Ajax request headers that the 'Multi-Currency Features for WooCommerce' addon sends?
Can you please provide me with screenshots showing how you are attempting to edit Ajax request headers? Also, can you explain where you are seeing the impact of multi-currency on performance and why you think it's affecting performance?
It's highly possible that if you cache the multi-currency feature, you might end up with incorrect prices due to caching.
Another important point is that you are using WooCommerce 8.6.1, which is very outdated. It's crucial to update everything in your WordPress installation.
Hello,
I have attached my picture bellow of how they are currently, and not to worry about the prices I only used the custom-defined prices option, so I don't need the option where currencies are updated.
So I have uploaded two pictures of the header when I use the multi-currency (of the header and the server response), and one where I have disabled it (of the header and server response). As you can see in the pictures when comparing the server response time, when using the multicurrency I have 3.42s wait time on every page load, when I have it disabled its just 233ms which is a HUGE DIFFERENCE, causing my site to lose a lot of SEO ranking. If you compare the header you will see when the multicurrency is enabled it has a revalidating no-cache header that bypasses my caching rules.
I have updated all the WPML plugins, the WordPress version, and woocomerce. So the issue is how the plugin handles this.
Have I correctly understood that the problem occurs when activating the multicurrency option under WCML settings?
