Background of the issue: I have followed multiple forum posts and documentations and have done several optimizations including using PHP 8.3.10, setting PHP memory limit to 1024M, using Litespeed cache, updating all plugins, themes, and WordPress, using MariaDB v. 11.4.3, using pure SSL (without helper plugin), clearing out big and unnecessary autoloaded options (the remaining is primary WPML), installing and running 'Index WP MySQL For Speed' plugin, disabling 'display as translated' (Fallback mode), disabling 'Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality', pressing 'Cleanup and optimize string tables' and 'Clear invalid strings' options, and turning off 'Track where strings appear on the site'. Symptoms: Questions: |

Hello! I'm going to help you while a supporter takes you case. 1) Do not use PHP 8.3 because that version is still in beta in WordPress and will probably slow your site down since it's likely many of your plugins will start creating deprecation notifications or similar. please use 8.1 at most for now unless you're sure that all the plugins work nicely with 8.2, but do not go over that for now. 2) Monitor the logs with a plugin like "Query Monitor" to see if there are too many queries, if they are duplicate and slow. 3) Go to WPML > Support > Troubleshooting > delete unused strings ------------ - WPML Media should not make any change to your performance, however if you're not really translating images (using different images for specific images or media by languages) then you can safely uninstall it anyways because it's likely you won't be using it. - Deleting untranslated strings could help make the DB lighter It's likely the problem is on the hosting side (resources or DB call restrictions) but that depends on the hosting and plan you use, since more languages means that your site will have more pages in the DB, more content in general and there may be a few more queries happening more often than before. However, try what i mentioned and let us know what happened. please send us a screenshot of the query results. |

Hi there, Thanks for your reply. 1. I have downgraded to PHP 8.1. How can I more systematically delete untranslated and unused strings? |

Hi, I'll continue to help you with this issue. Thanks for the screenshots. I'm consulting our second-tier supporters about this. My colleague referred to the "Clean and optimize string tables" and "Clear invalid strings" options in the troubleshooting section. Please see the attached screenshot. You can also delete unused strings from WPML -> Strings Translation. You can read about it here. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/#how-to-delete-a-string Please try it and see if it helps. Please let me know if you have observed this problem on the admin or front-end pages. I must say that I've just navigated through pages and products on your site, and everything was loading quickly. I don't experience a performance issue. If you need further help with this, please share the access details to your site with me. I'm enabling a private message for the following reply.

Hi, In addition to the above, please allow us to take a copy of your site. For this, I must install a plugin like Duplicator or All In One Migration. Please let me know if you agree. A private message is enabled for the following reply. Thanks, |

Hi Itamar, I have done the "Clean and optimize string tables" and "Clear invalid strings" options. The performance issues are in the front end. I am primary referring to the analyses from Google PageSpeed Insights which shows results as low as 35 for the translated content (front page). Other content is better (50-60), but still too low in my opinion. And the issue was better before installing WPML. Also, X-Ray analyses generated by my host shows that sitepress-multilingual-cms is by far the biggest contributor to load time. Original language: Translated language: I have given you access to the WordPress admin. Please note that the website has plenty of traffic and several orders every day. |
