I have tried all possible methods to optimise WPML on our site but so far I am having difficulties getting it to work as fast as I'd wish. I have tried disabling all plugins, disabling unneccessary WPML plugins like WPML Media, using WPRocket cache and Cloudflare, also optimised the tables in WPML.
The fact of the matter is that when WPML is enabled, the performance of the whole site changes so that you can feel it quite well during browsing. GTMetrix also reflects this in the data report.
GTMetrix reports:
WPML enabled hidden link
WPML disabled hidden link
I think I need to request your help to get the things moving faster for us.
Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.
It could be a slowness issue caused by one of the plugins not being compatible with WPML or some theme code. A better way to check the performance of your site (loading time, queries) is by using Query Monitor. 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 share each result (full screenshot) with me and read more on the documentation https://wpml.org/tutorials/2019/10/analyze-performance-issues-with-query-monitor/
Look forward to your reply.
Thanks
