senthilkumarM	Hi WPML Support Team, We are experiencing significant performance issues after enabling the WPML plugin: - Performance has become very slow. Certain SELECT queries are taking more than 40 seconds, which is causing slowness in both the frontend and backend, especially when editing pages. - We observed this behavior in our slow query dashboard and have attached screenshots for reference. Could you please advise on how to resolve these performance issues or provide recommendations for optimizing WPML in this context? Thank you for your assistance. Best regards

I have seen the latest version of WooCommerce after 10.5 make a great impact on performance (they had a major release around performance on that version) when paired with WPML. Please test and let me know if that helps.
