Fast Woo Order Lookup

WooCommerce’s Order and Subscription pages allow store owners to search for orders and subscriptions by customer name, email, and other attributes. By default, it does a general substring search. For example, if you put OllieJones into the search box, it will search with LIKE '%OllieJones%' using the leading wildcard %. That’s astonishingly slow on sites with many orders. Upon activation this plugin uses ActionScheduler to run a background process to create a special-purpose index table, a table of trigrams, to speed up that search. Then it uses those trigrams to search for orders. The downside: the trigram table takes database space and takes time to generate. The orders page itself contains a slow query to look up meta_keys. This fixes that query’s performance too, using a cache of available values. If you have problems The WordPress and WooCommerce ecosystems offer many optional features enabled by plugins. And, WooCommerce sites run on many different versions of database server. It is not possible to test this plugin on every imaginable combination. So, you may have problems getting it to work. Sometimes the process of creating the index table does not complete correctly. And, sometimes you cannot find some orders after the index is created. If you tell the author about these problems, he will attempt to fix them. Please create a support topic, then visit Site Health, view the Info tab, click the Copy Site Info to Clipboard button, and paste that information into the support topic. And, of course, please describe what is going wrong. Credits Thanks to Leho Kraav for bringing this problem to my attention. Thanks to Sebastian Sommer and Maxime Michaud for using early versions of the plugin on large stores, and to Maxime Michaud for creating the transation into French. Thanks to Jetbrains for the use of their software development tools, especially PhpStorm. It’s hard to imagine how a plugin like this one could be developed without PhpStorm’s tools for exploring epic code bases like WordPress’s.

Index WP Users For Speed

This plugin speeds up the handling of your WordPress registered users, especially when your site has many thousands of them. (Congratulations! Building a successful site with thousands of users is an accomplishment.) With optimized MySQL / MariaDB database techniques, it finds and displays your users more quickly. Your All Users panel on your dashboard displays faster and searches faster. Your All Posts and All Pages panels no longer lag when displaying. And, you can edit your posts to change authorship more efficiently. Without this plugin WordPress sites with many users slow down drastically on Dashboard pages. It can take many seconds each time you display your Users dashboard panel. It takes just about the same large amount of time to display your Posts or Pages panels. While those slow displays are loading, WordPress is hammering on your site’s MySQL or MariaDB database server. That means your site serves your visitors slowly too, not just your dashboard users. And, versions of WordPress since 6.0.1 have dealt with this performance problem by preventing changes to the authors of posts and pages in the Gutenberg editor, the classic editor, and the Quick Edit feature. Those recent versions also suppress the user counts shown at the top of the Users panel. This plugin restores those functions. This plugin helps speed up the handling of those large numbers of users. It does so by indexing your users by adding metadata that’s easily optimized by MySQL or MariaDB. For example, when your site must ask the database for your post-author users, the database no longer needs to examine every user on your system. (In database jargon, it no longer needs to do notoriously slow full table scans to find users.) When slow queries are required to make sure the metadata indexes are up to date, this plugin does them in the background so nobody has to wait for them to complete. You can set the plugin to do this background work at a particular time each day. Many people prefer to do them overnight or at some other off-peak time. WP-CLI commands You can use WP-CLI commands built in to this plugin. wp index-users status shows the status of user index creation. wp index-users remove removes the user index information. This includes usermeta rows and options rows. wp index-users rebuild rebuilds the user index information. Notice that activating the plugin always begins building the user index information. How can I learn more about making my WordPress site more efficient? This is a companion plugin to Index WP MySQL for Speed. If that plugin is in use, this plugin will perform better. But they are in no way dependent on one another; you may use either, both, or of course neither. I offer several plugins to help with your site’s database efficiency. You can read about them here.
