Problem: The client is experiencing significant slowdowns on their website when using WPML with WooCommerce, as identified by the Query Monitor plugin.
Solution: We recommended several steps to improve WPML performance: 1. Temporarily deactivate WPML to compare load differences and identify duplicate queries. 2. Disable 'display as translated' (Fallback mode) for post types, taxonomies, and custom fields in WPML > Settings. 3. Turn off 'Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality' in WPML > Languages. 4. Run 'Cleanup and optimize string tables', 'Clear invalid strings', and 'Remove ghost entries from WPML tables' in WPML > Support > Troubleshooting. 5. Consider disabling unnecessary plugins and WPML Media Translation if not using different images per language. 6. Disable 'Track where strings appear on the site' in String Translation. 7. Optimize media and use caching plugins like Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, or WP-Rocket. 8. Increase hosting/server resources if necessary. For detailed guidance, refer to our documentation on boosting the performance of your multilingual WordPress site.
