Slow Loading Attribute Select – WooCommerce Backend

Resolved splitpixel

At the moment we have a lot of product attribute terms, one attribute probably has around 20,000 terms inside it.

When editing a product and clicking into the field for the attribute we get a freeze for 10 seconds before the list of suggested terms drops down.

I have installed and setup Redis on the server and on WP however it doesn’t look to have made any noticeable difference in this particular respect.

Is there something I can do to make this quicker? Or turn off the suggestions so we can just type the attribute value we need and save without a hang?

Thanks!

Hi @splitpixel,

20,000 attributes is quite a lot! It seems it would make sense that the dropdown will take a few extra seconds to load in order to populate all 20,000.

Or turn off the suggestions so we can just type the attribute value we need and save without a hang?

Instead of using global attributes, if you prefer just typing in the attributes, you can do that like so:

Hope that helps!

Hi @yukikatayama and thanks for the reply!

Yeah I know its a lot 🙁 the products aren’t variations, each product is a set single product but they share common attribute names e.g. “Turbo Number” while every product has a unique turbo number.

So I really don’t need the list to dropdown it would be better if the user typed in the unique number. If for some reason it already exists in that attribute as a term, set it and thats fine.

Does that make sense?

Cheers!

As a simple product, you would be able to type in attributes manually using “custom product attribute” option. However, there is no option to disable the load list and only search for an existing global attribute. As for load speed of global attributes list, I’m not sure if it will help at all, but you could try increasing memory limits.
