Problem: The client is concerned about the high percentage of autoload data related to WPML in their database, questioning the necessity of autoloading certain entries like 'otgs-installer-log' and '_wcml_settings', and expressing concerns about the overall impact on website performance. Solution: We explained that the autoload entries are essential for WPML's functionality and should not be disabled. Although we are continuously working on performance improvements, these entries must remain as they are for now. We clarified that the size of these entries, such as 'icl_sitepress_settings', is relatively small (approximately 3.6 KB) and typical for plugins storing extensive settings. We suggested that the client tests their website's performance with and without WPML using tools like Page Load Time to gauge the actual impact. Additionally, we referenced a similar case discussed in our forums which might provide further insights: WPML forum discussion.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly suggest checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
