Load Tested?

    I have been quite happy with this plugin for adding wholesale price ability. But we recently added 8 products that need to have about 7000 variations each… After adding these products in, the Admin product list would no longer load, we’d get a Page Not Found error (I’m assuming it’s trying to find an error page and can’t find it).

    Anyway, I put the site in maintenance mode, deactivated all plugins except for WooCommerce and tested again. The Admin product list page would take a little while (30 seconds or so) but it would load (I also had to set the memory_limit to 768M). As soon as I then activate the WooCommerce Wholesale Prices plugin again, the Admin product list no longer loads, even when I sent the memory_limit to 1024M.

    I’m assuming that this is because the product list page shows the Price span and shows the Wholesale span which means it has to read EVERY variation to do so… I just wanted to check if you guys had done crazy load testing on this plugin and if the queries you’ve patched in to bring back the Wholesale prices are as optimized as they can be.

    Cheers!

    Hi JboyJW,

    Thanks for the message.

    7000 variations on a product is absolutely huge and beyond what WooCommerce itself recommends, are you sure this is the best setup for these products?

    Can you provide a little more context as to what led you to use 7k variations on a single product?

    The cause of this loading issue is likely the wholesale prices columns which you can dequeue in your functions.php file by doing the following:

    Aha! That’s very helpful, thank you!

    Unfortunately the front end is also extremely slow so this is just not going to work. We have are using a colorizer plugin that allows us to update the colours of the product with css but the colors need to be variations. And we have 25 colors that get applied to two places of the product. So 25×25 and then we also have sizes that affect price and shipping which is another 11 options so times 11. Turns into just under 7000 variations…

    Our client has approved some custom development to make the colorizer plugin work with the addons plugin instead of variations so that we only have the 11 size options that affect the price. That will solve all issues…

    Thanks for the response.
