Scalability Pro 5.34 13 October 2023

Option to cache post counts for admin pages created
this has been separated out from defer term counts as a separate option, but it's still in the import tab because it helps most with admins running imports a lot
option has also been updated to exclude shop_order post types from the cache since order statuses change frequently and admins need to see what items remain to be done

Scalability Pro 5.33 11 October 2023

Hotfix for recent optimisation which could create duplicates in archives

Scalability Pro 5.33 in its changelog

Auto Infinite Scroll 1.40 9 October 2023

Updated text for page selectors to describe contents better

Auto Infinite Scroll 1.39 9 October 2023

Hotfix – items filter was not quite working
fixed that and streamlines JS a little

Auto Infinite Scroll 1.39 in its changelog

Auto Infinite Scroll 1.38 9 October 2023

Added new Items Filter for cases where your grids/archives have other items within them
can normally be left blank, or you can configure it to filter to only certain items within the parent wrapper
Updated config so that if you add CSS to the config screen then this appends to the default config
this makes it far easier to adjust config to just add the extra css required

Auto Infinite Scroll 1.38 in its changelog

Scalability Pro 5.32 9 October 2023

Improved the remove DISTINCT/GROUP BY code further
more performance if querying against only wp_posts
especially more performance if the query can now use an index for sorting, e.g. order by date desc

Scalability Pro 5.32 in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 5.08 9 October 2023

Improved SSF_STOCK_OA_USE_EXISTS performance feature further
we query against object_ancestors to check stock for the product_cat by default
now if user enters a category, 2 queries have been merged into 1 to check the category and stock levels at the same time

Super Speedy Filters 5.08 in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 5.07 9 October 2023

Added new performance beta feature in defines.php: SSF_STOCK_OA_USE_EXISTS
if set to true, we swap INNER JOIN for WHERE EXISTS to check our object ancestors table for stock levels of products
WHERE EXISTS can be faster especially if it helps the main query only query wp_posts in the main FROM part of the query
this allows DISTINCT to be removed from the SELECT clause which eliminates a table scan
it also allows your indexes on your table to be used, e.g. to show latest products first quickly
this is defaulted to false at the moment pending further testing, you can add define('SSF_STOCK_OR_USE_EXISTS', true); to your wp-config.php to enable it if you wish to test

Super Speedy Filters 5.07 in its changelog

Super Speedy Search 4.22 5 October 2023

Added new Refresh Meta Keys List button to the Meta Search tab
this content gets saved as a transient for 12 hours to alleviate pressure on your server of rebuilding this list

Super Speedy Search 4.22 in its changelog

Scalability Pro 5.31 4 October 2023

Added new define option SPRO_ALWAYS_DO_TERM_RECOUNTS
defaults to array('nav_menu', 'link_category', 'post_format', 'wp_theme', 'wp_template_part_area', 'elementor_library_type', 'elementor_library_category')
this means even when 'defer term counts' is enabled, these taxonomies will always be recounted on-the-fly rather than waiting until overnight
if you want to use defer term counts but there are some taxonomies you wish to have up to date at all times, you can copy the definition from our defines.php to your wp-config and add extra taxonomy names to it

Scalability Pro 5.31 in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 5.06 4 October 2023

Fixed new term page (edit-tags.php) so it loads our JS so you can edit images for attributes/brands etc – previous optimisation in 4.98 had broken this

Super Speedy Search 4.20 28 September 2023

Removed CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX super_speedy_meta_ft on wp_postmeta(meta_value) if SSS_SPLIT_META_SEARCH set to false

Super Speedy Search 4.20 in its changelog

Super Speedy Search 4.19 28 September 2023

Improved speed of hyphen-based searches
previously hyphen searches were reverting to LIKE searches
now the fulltext search can be used with hyphens and is enabled by default
there are some restrictions to this – the fulltext parser in MySQL doesn't match hyphenated tokens if the initial part of the token is < 3 characters e.g. x-1 or xy-1, whereas xyz-1 would work
i.e. if users search for a hyphenated token which has an initial part with less than 3 characters, we cannot use a fulltext index search and so to maintain speed we switch to a wildcard search which only has a wildcard at the end
for example, searches for x-1 would search x-1% rather than %x-1%
this keeps speed fast, but it means if you have a product called "Phone x-1" that the match will not happen against the product name
in these cases, you can either add a meta field and configure it to be searched and place 'x-1' in that meta field, or you can set this constant SSS_SEARCH_SHORT_HYPHENS_FULLY to true and it will search for %x-1% instead of x-1%
note that open-ended wildcard searches like %x-1% cause full table scans
Improved speed of postmeta search
2 queries previously run, first to search against wp_postmeta
previously these post IDs were included in the main query using an OR statement, but somehow this was slowing down the fulltext index search and causing a table scan (MySQL query optimizer not great!)
now, the main search is exclusively using the fulltext search, no OR statement, and the matches happen against the metavalues column
performance on 2 million product store improved from 5s to 0.02s when matches happen against postmeta (e.g. SKU search)
to revert this behaviour, define SSS_SPLIT_META_SEARCH as true in wp-config (see the defines.php file for more info)
