[Resolved] Extreme slowness with running WPML

Hey Bobby

Thank you for replying!

What is the load difference with WPML activated vs deactivated?

***How do I figure out that part?***

Are you seeing any duplicate queries related to WPML?

---> Query Monitor shows:
SHOW TABLES LIKE 'dwew_icl_mo_files_domains'
WPML_Upgrade_Schema->does_table_exist()
2 calls

Potential Troublemakers:
WPML\ST\MO\Generate\Process\SingleSiteProcess->getDomainsAndLanguages()
1 call
WPML\ST\MO\Scan\UI\Factory->create()
1 call

-----

SELECT term_taxonomy_id
FROM dwew_term_taxonomy
WHERE term_id=0
AND taxonomy='nav_menu'

WPML_Nav_Menu->_set_custom_status_in_theme_location_switcher()
2 calls

Potential troublemakers:
WPML_Nav_Menu->_set_custom_status_in_theme_location_switcher()
2 calls

-- Consider disabling "display as translated" (Fallback mode) from post types, taxonomies, custom fields, etc. in WPML > Settings if activated

**The site uses native Enfold theme. Native pages. Native WooCommerce products.
I am not locating the above Fallback mode.*

-- Disable the setting to "Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality" at WPML > Languages > Make themes work multilingual. I am still seeing a left WP menu area that says: Enfold (NO).

**Ahhh yes. This was nice to turn off. There is no need to translate Enfold into Norwegian. It is better to keep it in the native English language.

-- Go to WPML->Support->Troubleshooting and run
"Cleanup and optimize string tables"
"Clear invalid strings"
"Remove ghost entries from WPML tables".

*Great! I cleaned up the above. It has over 200 invalid strings and likely other things.*

I am seeing sitepress-multilingual-cms on occasion show up on the top regarding Queries by Component. With 52 calls and time of 0.3188. This changes in relation to what is going on on the site.

The site feels a little faster. Do add additional settings that I can clear or anything else that I can do to help make WPML faster. It looks like WPML is also using a lot of the available memory as I was told by the web host that the bottle neck is the available ram. Making WPML use less ram would be helpful. Thanks.

Btw
Should the site have WPML SEO activated and WPML String Translation activated?
I am trying to deactivate most plugins that I can.

Thank you Bobby. I followed the steps further above. It did create some havoc on the site where some pages became broken so that had to be fixed but the site feels faster.

Query Monitor is something I use on occasion to measure the performance.

One last request....

I have earlier made a tutorial on Full Site Editing with WPML hidden link
and would also like to create a tutorial for optimizing WPML as well.
If you could create a summary of options that would be good to optimize that I can use in the tutorial that would be great (add more detail to it please) I can then add the information you shared above as well as additional information.

Thank you.

Great.

I am though not seeing this:
Disable "display as translated" (Fallback mode) for post types, taxonomies, and custom fields in WPML > Settings.

Here is a mini tutorial I wrote which I would like to add on to later on.
hidden link

Thanks Bobby!
I updated the tutorial.

Are there any other links that I should add to the mini tutorial?

Thanks again.
