Background of the issue:
I am trying to improve the performance of my WooCommerce website, which is extremely slow. Disabling the WPML plugins reduces the page load time significantly, but enabling them increases the load time again. I have followed various optimization recommendations, including those from a WPML forum post, but have not seen significant improvements. My website relies heavily on logged-in users with different prices, so caching is not an option. I have also tried using the Index WP MySQL for Speed plugin and other optimizations like compressing images and cleaning up tables and strings.
Symptoms:
The website becomes extremely unresponsive when WPML plugins are enabled, with page load times increasing from 1-1.5 seconds to 2.2-3.5 seconds.
Questions:
Are there any other solutions to improve performance with WPML enabled?
Is there an option to delay the plugin loading so it doesn't load immediately when the site is accessed?
It is expected that WPML adds around 20-30% to loading of website, as it needs to load all the translation and content. If the increase is from 1 to 3s, that is already to much and something might be wrong.
I suggest checking with only WPML plugins and WP default theme and then try activating one by one to see if any specific plugin might be causing issue with WPML.
As I wrote in the full report, not just what is visible here as a summary: the website without WPML plugins loads in 1–1.5 seconds, but after enabling only the WPML plugins, it takes 2.2–3.5 seconds.
I understand, but if it is from 1.5 to 2.2, then that can not be considered as performance issue, and is expected.
Can you please check what I suggested in my last reply and see if any clues? Please make sure to create a backup, before doing any actions, just in case.
Yes, 20-30% would still be acceptable, and in that case, it could actually be expected because:
1 second becomes 1.3 seconds
1.5 seconds becomes 1.95 seconds
This range would be acceptable.
However, the results are in the range of 2.2–3.5 seconds, meaning an increase of over 45% to more than 100%. So how is that expected? A 20-30% increase compared to 45-100% is a significant discrepancy.
As you yourself mentioned, if the increase is 1 to 3 seconds, something is wrong, and that's exactly what's happening in my case.
Regarding disabling and enabling all plugins – I don’t know what result I’m supposed to expect, so I doubt I’d find anything new. Everything works, and I’ve already done this before. The only difference is that after enabling WPML, the page slows down from 1-1.5 seconds to 2.2-3.5 seconds
My name is Marcel, and I’ll be handling your ticket.
Please note that we can only see the information provided in the replies visible here. If you shared any additional details, they may have been omitted before being published.
1) Could you please provide more information about the specific action we can take to reproduce this issue? Any specific product or URL we can test?
2) Do you have a staging environment where I can run some tests? Testing in an isolated setup ensures there are no performance issues caused by third-party code or unoptimized queries. You can provide the necessary details in the fields located below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. Rest assured, the information you enter is private and accessible only to you and me.
Maybe I'll need to replicate your site locally. For this, I’ll need to temporarily install a plugin called “Duplicator” or "All in One WP Migration" on your site. This will allow me to create a copy of your site and your content. Once the problem is resolved I will delete the local site. Let me know if this is ok with you.
