Database Optimization

Optimize WooCommerce Queries

// ❌ Bad: Loading full product objects
$products = wc_get_products(['limit' => 100]);
foreach ($products as $product) {
    echo $product->get_name();
}

// ✅ Good: Only load IDs, then get what you need
$product_ids = wc_get_products([
    'limit' => 100,
    'return' => 'ids', // Only IDs, much faster
]);

foreach ($product_ids  ) {
     ();
}
