How Scalability Pro differs from Autoptimize

All plugins from Super Speedy Plugins share a SQL-first architecture and an uncompromising focus on performance — and Scalability Pro is no different. Here is what sets it apart:

Your site was fast when it was small. Now archive pages, imports and wp-admin screens are waiting on the database. Scalability Pro adds the indexes WordPress leaves out, stops it counting rows nobody reads, and defers the work that turns an import into an overnight job.

How to choose between Autoptimize and Scalability Pro?

For stores where page speed translates directly into revenue, the comparison between Autoptimize and Scalability Pro is worth examining carefully. Scalability Pro's SQL-first design means performance is built into the architecture rather than bolted on afterwards. Every release is tested against a one-million-product WooCommerce catalogue, so performance scales with your store rather than against it. Try it on your staging environment using the free trial — you will see the difference immediately.

Hello! I have a wordpress e-commerce website and woocommer. My website has about 100k products x 288 variants. And recently, I often don't have access to line items. So does your plugin optimize that? Thank you very much!

Today put this tool on my website with 50,000+ products. The page loading times were really 10 to 20 seconds during imports via wpallimport. Set all steps and go through and now around 1 to 2. What a great tool 🙂

Super happy with Scalability Pro, the support, and the results – sped up my imports by multiples. I first came across Dave and his work speeding up large WordPress/WooCommerce sites by watching his Wordcamp presentation on scaling Woocommerce – before he had this official plugin. Having all of that expertise distilled into a plugin, it's pretty amazing and the results speak for themselves. A+++++
