With this index the query time for the autoload option will not increase with growing table size. Therefore it helps speeding things up – especially with big option-tables. ### Plugin-Overview This plugin offers four options: * A one-click check mechanism to check if indexes on the autoload field exist * An option that adds an index to the autoload field * One-click index removal * Adding a simple wp-cronjob, that periodically checks if the index still exists and notifies you, if it doesn’t. ### Support If you encounter any issues, please leave a support ticket on the [WordPress.org Forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/add-index-to-autoload) ### Bug reports Bug reports for this Plugin are [welcomed on GitHub](https://github.com/MazeWebArchitect/add-index-to-autoload).
