Plugin Description
WordPress sites with many users slow down dramatically, especially on Dashboard pages. It can take many seconds each time you display your Users dashboard panel. It takes just about the same amount of time to display your Posts or Pages panels. While those slow displays are loading, WordPress is hammering on your site’s MySQL or MariaDB database server. That means your site serves your visitors slowly too, not just your dashboard users.
This plugin helps speed up the handling of those large numbers of users. It does so by indexing your users by adding metadata that’s easily optimized by MySQL or MariaDB. For example, when your site must ask the database for your post-author users, the database no longer needs to examine every user on your system. (In database jargon, it no longer needs to do a notoriously slow full table scan.)
When slow queries are required to make sure the metadata indexes are up to date, this plugin does them in the background so nobody has to wait for them to complete. You can set the plugin to do this background work at a particular time each day. Many people prefer to do them overnight or at some other off-peak time.
This is a companion plugin to Index WP MySQL for Speed. But they are in no way dependent on one another; you may use either, both, or of course neither.
