wpml woocommerce wpml string translatio bug

Hello,
Would you mind sharing your versions that your client is using, please?

We are currently working on optimizing the performance for WooCommerce Multilingual and WPML. We just released new versions – WPML 3.4 and WooCommerce Multilingual 3.8 – as you can read here: https://wpml.org/2016/06/wpml-3-4-woocommerce-multilingual-3-8-released/ in the next releases, we are going to concentrate on the performance.
For now, I can suggest you to try and go to Products > Products > Screen Options – and uncheck the option with the flags.
This might improve the performance, once it is done.
In the new versions, that will follow – we are going to optimize the performance as mentioned in the blog post that I quoted above.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

He has latest versions of everything (I know WPML and all related plugins where updated yesterday) and latest version of WordPress and Woocomerce.

Sorry, but could you please be a bit more specific on your suggestion? if i go to prodcuts>products y see no screen options… I see all the products.

Thanks for the post, any estimated time of release? would you release the fix as an all toghether or will it go fix by fix.

Thanks
Kind regards

Here, let me provide a screenshot of the exact option that I mean.

Unchecking that option should have some positive performance impact.

I guess that would be to reduce the time from the backoffice, which is not my problem, my problem is in front office

I am sorry, I did not get the part that this is a problem in the front-end.
In that case, because this forum is not very secure, I would like to ask you to open a new ticket in our forum at wpml.org and let’s debug the performance issue there.

Also, I see one issue reported for WooCommerce here: https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues/7777 – is this the problem that you are experiencing?

Hi,

Yes that is the problem, it loads it up in everypage PLUS it takes 8 seconds to load it up a few lines of code.

I talked to server and to the theme creator, and both came to same conclusion.. is a problem with WPML and in my own experience i found out that it is a problem with wpml string translation.

I would open a ticket if i could, but your support ticket is just for pay clients, and as i said, this is a clients website, so i dont have access to his account at wpml.

Thanks
Kind regards

Ok, I see.
Then could you please provide more details?
On what page you are getting the slowness?
Can you provide a link to the site so that we can test?

Any more details are welcome.

Hi George,

Happy that you got a copy of my site now, by the way I think i forgot to exclude few folders (the wp-uploads) and one of them was the chache folder /public_html/wp-content/cache just saying cause you might have issues importing the copy of it somewhere else, if you do and you need another copy with out that folder let me know.

Thanks
Kind regards

No problem for the extra folders.
I think that I located one things that may help you speed up the site.
You have enabled two options that are known to cause big loads.
These options are:
1. Track where strings appear on the site
2. Auto-register strings*

They are located in WPML -> String Translation – below all strings.
Please see my screenshot here: https://imgur.com/KhLUZtW

In my tests – your site takes from 5 to 8secs to load.
After that an ajax requests is sent – ?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments that can take from 1.24secs (if the options are disabled) up to 6seconds on my install.

So I would suggest you to try and disable these options.

I forgot to mention that I have escalated your case to our developers, and they will also take a look at your site, and once I have some news – I will let you know.

Hey you where right man.. how could i be that blind, now is WAY MUCH FASTER.

Now.. to try to be perfect.. .is there any way we can speed up ?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments?

Hey perfect about devs! thanks man you are awesome, i will wait for an answer…

May i suggest you trying a change on your copy of my web?

1. open funtions.php child theme
2 delete these lines I added to try speed it up:

// https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues/9365

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_woocommerce_cart_fragments', 11); function dequeue_woocommerce_cart_fragments() { if (is_front_page()) wp_dequeue_script('wc-cart-fragments'); }

and see if it might increase the load times.. becuase if it does, then your devs might want to check the enqueue of the js etc.

Thanks
Kind regards

We’re working on that in WPML, Andres. We’re improving performance for the string translation.

In the meantime, you can continue keeping that option turned off. As you’re not adding new strings that would need to be registered automatically, it doesn’t really help with anything to have it on.

You can get more tips about how to optimize your WPML site from here: https://wpml.org/2012/01/can-your-site-run-faster/

Hi Mihaimihai,

I read through the post, and I′m afraid none of that is going to work in my case. Some of them ask you to disable core functionalities of WPML (which I dont even think is a good idea to recommend) and some others seems to just not apply any speed up changes. I have dissabled now as your collegue suggested the auto register id’s and it seems faster, but still not… what i would call fast.

I will wait if you are really working on it. Any expectation times?

Thanks
Kind regards

Hi Andres,

> I have dissabled now as your collegue suggested the auto register id’s and it seems faster, but still not… what i would call fast.

According to our tests on a copy of your site (that you sent to George), by disabling the strings auto-registering the load was reduced from 7-8 seconds to a little over 1 second.

Do you still see a significant difference between how your site loads with or without WPML?
