What type of setup do you have for your MySQL server on the site?
What settings did you try for the Heartbeat control plugin?

symbolic-links=0
innodb_file_per_table = 1
thread_concurrency = 8
query_cache_size = 32M
thread_cache_size = 8
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 8M
read_buffer_size = 2M
sort_buffer_size = 2M
table_cache = 512
max_allowed_packet = 1M
key_buffer_size = 384M
Hi put the heartbeat plugin only to edit pages and 60s heartbeat frequency.
I already tried everything edit functions with this https://wordimpress.com/how-to-load-woocommerce-scripts-and-styles-only-in-shop/
I followed the threat on woothemes https://support.woothemes.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201220087-Woocommerce-Causes-Slow-admin-ajax-php-Load-Times but no anwswer from wooteam.
I already altered the wp-config to use 1024 memory, minimize the plugins at all cost, when loading a variable product takes even longer to load. The admin panel is also very slow if i disable the woocommerce the admin panel is twice fast.
I´ve always used woocommerce for my ecommerce projects but it seems that can handle few products the last that i made right now had 149 products and until now no complains from the customer. But this one is so slow that i´m starting to think moving to other solution. If someone could help minimize the impact that woocommerce has on admin-ajax.php, i really appreciate.
