Slow – can we speed this up?

    The live search, even as shown in the gif image on the product page for search wp, is slow. It is not instant like they demo with the google gif, and no where near as fast as typesense or algolia search. Is there something you guys are working on to speed this up? Users have come to expect instant results updating as they type. It would be great to have a debounce option on what we want to do, such as artificial delay of 1 second after stop typing… but without that as an option, it just feels slow and not up to par with what other options are out there.

    Hi @maven1129 ,

    I would like to inform you that the SearchWP Live Search plugin uses the default WordPress search query to retrieve results from the database. As a result, the search speed is largely influenced by your server’s performance. If you’re on a shared server, this can further impact the speed.

    In contrast, services like Typesense or Algolia search use third-party servers to process search queries, allowing them to deliver faster search results due to their optimized infrastructure.

    I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, then let me know.

    Hi @maven1129 ,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.

    Thanks!
