Feed creation too slow

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugin and reaching out to us.

Our plugin is processing products in batches of 750 products per batch. So in your case a lot of batches are needed. Did you perhaps also disabled your WP-cron and using an external unix cron? If so than that could explain for a slower processing of your feed.

Greetings! What is the average time for one batch of 750 products? Installing the update 1 day – if the cycle by the number of batches exceeds the day, then the behavior of the plugin is to complete the list of products with the state of the quantity at the time of the start and then start again or does the cycle start again after 1 day from the start?

Hi,

Typically a batch of 750 products is processed within a minute, this however really depends on your server configuration, number of products and attributes and other 3th party plugins. Also, when you have disabled your WP-cron and using an external unix cron than the behaviour becomes unpredictable, largely depending on how often the unix cron is being triggered.

The full process should finish within one day otherwise the next refresh interval might actually cause duplicates in your feed as products are being processed twice.

Hello!
Thank you, the information will be useful. The question is closed.

Greetings!
I have a catalog of 39,734 products and 4,779 general attributes, 41,148 attribute values, excluding personal attributes.
Your version of the plugin, despite all the approaches, still completes the task in 9 hours, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the process.
After finding a solution to the problem, I came up with another plugin that copes with the task of generating a file up to 20 minutes without cached data (with a cache up to 10 minutes), which I chose – https://uk.www.ads-software.com/plugins/best-woocommerce-feed/
I also tested the work of a plugin that generates data at the time of a request for a file url (does not use cron). On the plus side, it uses the *.webp output image file format (displayed to users with compatible browsers when visiting pages, otherwise *.jpg). Of the minuses, it does not have filters and rules, a limited number of platform support (Google, Bing). The task will be completed even faster, a little over 5 minutes, and then it will use a cache that is automatically updated on change with a response of 420 ms – https://woocommerce.com/products/google-product-feed/
To summarize, there is a bug in your plugin that cannot process data arrays for entry-level online marketplaces.
