mehmetU-4	Background of the issue: I am experiencing a performance issue on my WooCommerce product edit page, which seems to be due to a conflict between WPML and Yoast SEO plugins. The issue is impacting my ability to manage products efficiently. Symptoms: The WooCommerce product edit page takes approximately 56 seconds to load and remains unresponsive for several seconds. Expanding or editing variable product attributes causes an additional 30–40 second delay. The issue does not occur in the Opera browser and rarely in Microsoft Edge. The problem disappears when either WPML or Yoast SEO is deactivated. Questions: How can I resolve the performance issue caused by the conflict between WPML and Yoast SEO? Do you need further technical details or admin access to investigate the issue directly?
