# Many attributes, slow loading

 * I have a Woocommerce site with around 2500 product attributes (and around 30 
   000 values).
    This is causing the product edit page to load extremely slow (around
   60 sec). If I temporary disable attributes via function.php, the site loads in
   around 2-3 sec. It’s not variable products, but just simple products with many
   attributes for information. The edit page load slow wether or not the product
   has any attributes connected.
 * Is there any way around this problem?

 * Hi [@herjafader](https://wordpress.org/support/users/herjafader/),
 * Let’s try a MySQL index.
 * * Take a full database backup.
    * Activate: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/index-wp-mysql-for-speed/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/index-wp-mysql-for-speed/)
 * Does that change anything?
 * Kind regards,

 * Hi!
    Tried now and there was just a small improvement, 55s load instead of 60s.

 * Hi there!
 * What’s your server environment? Do you have enough resources to handle that number
   of products and attributes? It would be a good idea to get in touch with your
   host’s support team as they should have tools to check what is slowing down your
   product admin page.
 * You can also go with database optimization using a plugin like WP-Optimize and
   run a conflict test to rule out conflicting code with WooCommerce core.
 * You can find a more detailed explanation on how to do a conflict test here:
 * [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/)
 * After that, if you need more help, kindly share a copy of your site’s System 
   Status. You can find it via _WooCommerce > Status_. Select “Get system report”
   and then “Copy for support”. Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response.
 * Cheers.
