our site is very slow.
We did a php check and there are many references to your site (plugin).
can you tell me why our site slows down so much and what we can do? How can you shorten your scripts that act on the site?

Hi Alexey,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.

It could be an issue with slowness caused by one of the plugins not being compatible with WPML or some theme code. Can you please follow the next steps and let me know how it goes?

Please make a backup before proceeding.
1) Install the Query Monitor plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/)
2) Check the load time and the number of queries in the top bar. Load time has "s" and queries "Q".
3) Disable all WPML plugins and check load time and the number of queries.
4) Disable all other plugins and leave active only WPML plugins, switch to a WordPress default theme. Check again.

Please let me know how it goes and shares each result with me and read more in the documentation 
https://wpml.org/tutorials/2019/10/analyze-performance-issues-with-query-monitor/

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

1. this is with wpml enabled hidden link
2. with wpml plugins disabled
hidden link
3. this is when to disable all plugins except wpml hidden link

we do not have a default theme. wplms and wplms child only

this is the situation that heavily loads the site.

Hi,

Please copy your site to a staging site then share the credentials (wp-admin and FTP). I will take a look and perform some tests on your staging site to see what happens there. Your next reply is set to private to share the info.

❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌
You can use this plugin to create the backup: 
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

Hi,

Can you please check your site again to see if the performance is better? Please see my screenshot hidden link

What I've done:
- Go to WPML > String Translation > Disable option "Track where strings appear on the site".
- Go to WPML > Support > Troubleshooting > Click on the button "Cleanup and optimize string tables"

You can also boost the performance of your site by following this documentation https://wpml.org/tutorials/2022/03/boosting-the-performance-of-your-multilingual-wordpress-site/

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

Hi,

Checking the homepage translation on your site with Query Monitor, I see the total queries from WPML are 163/596 and take 0.06 seconds to load. Please check this screenshot hidden link

I think it is a good performance and did not cause the slow-down issue there.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

how can you reduce the load on the database, without switching to "higher quality hosting", because our hosting is normal. how can this load be reduced

Hi,

I think you can use some method like caching plugins or hosting and use CDN like Cloudflare to cache the queries and reduce query to the database. Please read more in the documentation https://wpml.org/tutorials/2022/03/boosting-the-performance-of-your-multilingual-wordpress-site/

We can handle one issue per ticket only so if you have other questions/issues, please create a new ticket for them.

Thanks.
