# Extremely Poor Performance

 * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-poor-performance-2/)
 * After migrating to a new hosting provider, splitting the website into two nodes(
   web & database), we’re now experiencing extremely poor performance.
 * Our NewRelic monitoring suggests the main culprit of this performance bottleneck
   is the amount of calls to “WC_Product_Variable_Data_Store_CPT::read_price_data”.
   This averages roughly 50 calls to this function, but each time it’s taking about
   150-200ms per call, so these in total is a huge issue.
 * The site info for the site is as below

 * Hello [@kanagency](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kanagency/),
 * In general, performance is tightly connected to the plugin stack you are using
   and your server environment. We have some general advice for addressing performance
   issues on our blog (these tips range from general to technical – you already 
   are monitoring your speed, for instance): [Ten Ways to Improve the Speed of Your WooCommerce Store](https://woocommerce.com/posts/ten-ways-to-speed-up-your-woocommerce-store/)
 * For your specific issue, it sounds like a plugin (or perhaps a theme feature,
   though Flatsome is a fairly popular theme so I doubt it) is initiating the numerous
   calls.
 * From the report you sent, I’d try disabling your “Discount Rules and Dynamic 
   Pricing for WooCommerce” plugin and re-benchmarking your site. If that doesn’t
   work, I recommend a full conflict test to narrow down the issue – here’s a guide
   to conduct that test: [Conflict Testing Guide](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/)
 * You could try disabling plugins ad-hoc to test, but we find the thorough testing
   process to be a much faster way to resolve issues.
 * We look forward to hearing back from you, and if you have any further questions
   or details please include those in your reply. Thanks!

 * As you haven’t responded in a while, I’m marking this as resolved. We’ll be here
   for you if/when you need us.
