Hello,
I’ve found a solution to the super slow store. Custom Taxonomies.
The problem is when a there are lots of Attributes and even more values for each attribute. While this is ideal for filtering, it slows down the store with extremely long queries.
Even with just 5 attributes, but a hundred or so options be attribute, it slowed my site down to more than 30 seconds to load.
However, if I use custom taxonomies, it doesn’t cross reference each product each time it loads.
I was wondering if you could help me create another custom taxonomy, in the same manner you created “Brand”. I don’t need the custom sidebar to display the brand, just the code (or location of the “Brand” code) so I can copy it for another custom taxonomy.
Thanks,
Rob
