Below you can find instructions on how to install and configure the Scalability Pro Plugin.
After purchasing the Scalability Pro Plugin, you will receive a zipped file, from there, please follow these steps:
In your WP admin area, click on “Plugins” -> Add new -> Upload Plugin -> Choose file. From there you can select the zipped file you selected and install the Plugin.
Configuration:
There are many options in the settings page, but don’t let that scare you. The most important first step is to create your indexes.
B-tree indexes on the correct columns along with some SQL modification speeds up all your archive pages as well as imports especially when your imports get larger and your import needs to check for existing items.
Archive pages include all your WooCommerce shop pages, your ‘latest posts’ page and your category pages.
Visit Settings -> Scalability Pro and click the big button to create your indexes.
Note: Creating the indexes may time out – refresh the settings page to view progress and click to create them again if you have to – it will continue from where it left off until all are created.
Configure options
Read through each option text carefully to figure out if you can remove this piece of functionality. Some shops & sites need more or less than others. The more you can remove, the more scalable your site will become.

Depending on your plugins you’re using, you may have to switch off the ‘remove ordering’ option in Scalability pro too.

May 8, 2020 @ 12:55 pmHi Dave,
Can I ask if this plugin is compatible with a multisite installation and if so, should the plugin be activated on a network level or per individual site?
Many thanks,
Mathew

May 8, 2020 @ 3:25 pmHi – it’s not yet multisite compatible because the index names when created at each invidivual site would not be unique.
If this is a priority for you, I can bump the request up the list.
I’ve created a trello card for this job here:
https://trello.com/c/vV0o8XTc/97-spro-make-scalability-pro-multisite-compatible
It would be great if you could add any extra comments about how you’d like to see it administered – would it be better to have it setup and configured at the network level or to give site-owners the job of creating the indexes? I presume network level would be best? You can add comments directly onto the Trello card.

June 29, 2020 @ 7:59 amHi.
Would this plugin work with woocommerce products on a custom page (elementor) that are in a product table (barn2media)? Currently the category has over 20k products and is slow when applying filters and initial page load etc
Thanks

June 30, 2020 @ 2:03 pmYou should look at http://www.wpintense.com/performance for a guide to which plugin improves which thing.
If you have query monitor installed, you can check and see if your main query is slow – if it is, Scalability Pro will help.
However, you’re saying the filters are what is causing slowdown so it’s highly likely you need Faster Woo Widgets instead.
