valentinB-22	I have hosted my website on AWS, and upon analyzing the AWS server metrics, I noticed a high number of write operations. After conducting a detailed investigation, I found that WPML tables are causing delays, as shown in the screenshots. This issue needs to be resolved urgently because the excessive write operations are causing the website to crash frequently, directly impacting my business. I have attached AWS metric screenshots for reference. Please assist in resolving this issue. Here is the screenshot for reference: hidden link. write operation: hidden link hidden link

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. WPML has made additional requests to the database to enable your site to run smoothly with multiple languages, but this should not cause any noticeable slowdown of your website. Please check the following ticket for advice on how to optimize your website: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-improve-performance-of-a-slow-site/#post-15350474. I noticed from the information you provided that the WordPress REST API is disabled. You need to ensure that it is enabled: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/rest-api-dependencies/. Are there any entries in the debug.log at the time of the crash? To enable debugging, open your wp-config.php file and look for the line that reads `define('WP_DEBUG', false);`. Change it to: define('WP_DEBUG', true); To enable error logging to a file on the server, you'll need to add another line: define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); This will save the errors to a debug.log file inside the /wp-content/directory: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/debugging-wpml/. Please let me know what you find in the debug.log after enabling debugging mode.

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Thank you for your feedback. This notice should not cause any issues. However, you can deactivate the WPML CMS Nav plugin for now; the translations will still work without it. Please update your WPML plugin and add-ons to the latest version, 4.7.0, to take advantage of the latest bug fixes and improvements. You can find the most recent versions under "My Account -> Downloads" on this site. Instructions for updating can be found here: http://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/. If you do not see the updates, you may need to click the "Check for updates" button in the Plugins → Add New Plugin → Commercial tab. Before proceeding, please remember to back up your database.
