I have a huge problem and i hope I can find a solution here. In wordpress we have a product that has 3 type of variation HEIGHT: 15 yard LENGTH: 50Y 25Y 15Y 10Y 5Y 1Y With this variation wordpress work smoothly, but now we want to regroup the product (that now are a single product for Color) in one and add another variation for the colors. So we have a 36 different color and when I add all those variation in the final product page the time to load a single Color with the Color Swatch is like 10 second. Is this a limit for wordpress ? A better server could reduce the time to load ? Or we need to move to another platform like opencart or Magento ? If there is something we can do with wordpress would be awesome. Thanks
product variations in WooCommerce are treated as "child products" linked to the parent one.
Technically speaking, they are like different products and loading/querying a product with lots of variations usually slows down the website performances.
I doubt that a better server can significantly improve this, so if you wanna keep it on WordPress/WooCommerce the ideal solution would be to create 36 different products, one for each color.
200 variations should not be a problem on Magento, but if you go up with the number, queries can start "bottlenecking" and PHP memory can also be a problem.
Hope this helps :)
