Scalability Pro

Scalability Pro is our essential WordPress optimization tool, providing comprehensive performance enhancement except for search and filter functionalities. As we tackle performance analysis tasks for clients or address their performance-related queries on our Discord server, we continually integrate optimizations for various themes and third-party plugins into Scalability Pro. The only areas not fully optimized by Scalability Pro are search and filters, which is why we developed Super Speedy Search and Super Speedy Filters to work alongside it.

 Key Benefits:

• Boost wp-admin, Imports, and Main Queries:** Enhance performance across all aspects of your site except for search and filtering.
• Future-Proof Your Site:** Ensure your website remains fast as it grows larger.
• Reduce Server Costs:** Accelerate slow SQL queries, like those in WP_Query, improving performance on archive pages (shop, posts, custom post types).
• User-Friendly:** Features one-click custom indexes, automatic front-end query rewrites, and options to disable unused wp-admin features to speed up the back-end.
• Save Time:** Optimizes processes to speed up imports and exports.
• Optimizes Slow Themes:** Includes enhancements for themes like Avada and other speed improvements identified through our Performance Analysis Service.
• Benefits All Users:** Improves speed for Googlebot, administrators, and users by enhancing imports, archives, wp-admin, XML sitemaps, and slow themes.
• Worry-Free Performance:** Purchase includes access to our Discord Server for direct communication with Dave Hilditch about site performance.

Note:Scalability Pro is not intended to speed up small sites but enables them to scale without slowing down. It works best in conjunction with Super Speedy Filters and Super Speedy Search.

•  Performance vs. Scalability
• Performance: The speed at which your web pages load.
  Scalability: The ability to handle a large number of simultaneous users without crashing.

Scalability Pro focuses on enhancing scalability by addressing performance issues that arise as your site grows, ensuring that performance does not degrade with increased size.

 How Scalability Pro Enhances WordPress Scalability

• Accelerates WP_Query:** Reduces query time from 180+ seconds to 0.4 seconds for 820,000 products on the /shop/ page.
• Database Optimization:** Enhances the efficiency of database queries and eliminates table scans.
• Customizable Options:** Allows modifications to or removal of slow WooCommerce and WordPress features.
• Works with Caching Systems:** Complements existing caching mechanisms to further boost performance.
• Speeds Up Slow Queries:** Install Query Monitor to identify slow pages; Scalability Pro can optimize these if they involve WP_Query. For numerous queries, Super Speedy Filters may be needed.
• Indexing and Query Optimization:** Adds indexes to key WordPress tables and modifies database queries for efficiency, avoiding table scans.
• Adaptable to Slow Functionalities:** Offers options to disable, alter, or microcache slow WordPress/WooCommerce/import functionalities.

If table scans persist even after implementing Scalability Pro, we provide solutions to address them.

Five Key Problem Areas Addressed by Scalability Pro

1. Slow Queries as the Site Grows: Scalability Pro makes these queries faster as the site expands. Some slow filtering and search queries require additional optimization.
2. Excessive Queries: Often caused by poorly coded search or filtering plugins. The Redis object cache can help, but we recommend Super Speedy Search and Super Speedy Filters.
3. High RAM and CPU Usage in PHP: If you see low SQL time but high RAM usage and long page generation times in Query Monitor, it could be due to large row counts returned by certain queries. This is often due to inefficient plugins and can sometimes be mitigated with an object cache.
4. Slow API or Ajax Calls: Upcoming upgrades to Scalability Pro will enhance the speed of ajax calls from third-party plugins.
5. Poor Hosting:Ensure high-quality hosting with PHP 7, MySQL 8, or MariaDB, nginx or Litespeed, and redis in-memory-only configurations.
