Index WP Users For Speed vs LiteSpeed Cache

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.

Privacy This plugin includes some suggested text that you can add to your site’s Privacy Policy via the Guide in the WordPress Privacy settings. For your own information: LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page on display on your site. The pages are stored locally on the system where LiteSpeed server software is installed and are not transferred to or accessed by LiteSpeed employees in any way, except as necessary in providing routine technical support if you request it. All cache files are temporary, and may easily be purged before their natural expiration, if necessary, via a Purge All command. It is up to individual site administrators to come up with their own cache expiration rules. In addition to caching, our WordPress plugin has online features provided by QUIC.cloud for Image Optimization and Page Optimization services. When one of these optimizations is requested, data is transmitted to a remote QUIC.cloud server, processed, and then transmitted back for use on your site. QUIC.cloud keeps copies of that data for up to 7 days and then permanently deletes it. Similarly, the WordPress plugin has a Reporting feature whereby a site owner can transmit an environment report to LiteSpeed so that we may better provide technical support. None of these features collects any visitor data. Only server and site data are involved. QUIC.cloud CDN, if enabled, uses LSCache technology to access your site, and serve your content from remote global nodes. Your data is not accessed by QUIC.cloud employees in any way, except as necessary in providing maintenance or technical support. Please see the QUIC.cloud Privacy Policy for our complete Privacy/GDPR statement.
