How Scalability Pro differs from SiteGround Optimizer

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:

SiteGround Optimizer is tightly coupled to SiteGround's hosting infrastructure and focuses on front-end asset caching. Scalability Pro is hosting-agnostic and works at the WordPress database level, eliminating the slow WooCommerce SQL queries that cause server-side slowdowns regardless of which host you use. If you have outgrown SiteGround or want database-level performance gains on any host, Scalability Pro addresses a fundamentally different part of the stack.

How to choose between SiteGround Optimizer and Scalability Pro?

SiteGround Optimizer is a solid choice for sites that live on SiteGround, but database-level bottlenecks caused by WooCommerce's query patterns are not solved by front-end caching alone. Scalability Pro targets those SQL bottlenecks directly, with a tested-against-one-million-products approach that works on any host. A free trial is available.
