Variations Pro Significantly slows product page even with object caching on.
David Tattersall
Hi all,
Swatches Pro on the WooCommerce shop page is too slow.
I’ve got a lot of information and data to share as we’ve been trying to narrow down the root cause of some poor performance on our shop page for a really long time.
I have tested with just our basic plugins, the storefront theme, and I’ve tested with turning off and turning on our price customisation plugin.
This is the website page https://paramo-clothing.com/en-gb/explore-range/
You’ll know the poor performance well just by visiting the page. But it becomes much more severe when scrolling down to view the rest of the ajax loading products. This will take upwards of 8 full seconds to load 16 products.
I know we’d discussed variation amounts on here before but I will state that we have around 3 colours average with around 5 sizes each. Per product around 15 – 30 variation each. Usually on the lower end of that scale. I’d say this was a relatively low amount of variations and a very typical use case for WooCommerce with the products being items of clothing.
Below is some of the page speed data I’ve gathered under different conditions that have helped me narrow down that this Pro version of the plugin and adding the swatches to the shop page are to blame.
