WP All Import Amazon S3 = Very Slow Process

    I am using WP All Import Pro to upload products on my website and must say it worked excellent.

    Recently I decided to move all the images from server to Amazon S3 (it’s cheaper to host them there and more efficient).

    I didn’t noticed anything strange during my first product uploads with images being sent to S3 (I am also using S3 offload plugin to do this job). It was uploading 6-7k new products per day.

    However, recently I noticed that imports are getting slower and slower. Today, WP All Import has created only 200 products in 3 hours.

    Do you have any idea why this upload speed decrease has appeared? Also, do I have any solution to speed-up the import?

    Thanks
    PS: I also have some issues when trying to upload new products/ edit existing products: WP All import doesn’t recognize the data in the xlsx/ csv file (the nodes are empty or contain some random data; I have to copy all the content in new xlsx files and then convert them into csv files in order to make WP ALL Import to recognize the data that I have on my columns). It doesn’t happen alwyays and I am not sure it is related to the slow speed upload. I think I will have to open a new thread when this thing happens again…

    Also, when I check the ‘Manage Imports’ page and I usually see that the last activity of the WP All Import Plugin was 20-30 minutes ago. So, it looks like it takes a 20-30 minutes break after doing each iteration (which, by the way, is set to process 20 records in a row)

    Hi dbk03,

    There are a number of reasons that this could be happening. It could be that your database is growing quite large, or the host of your images is now slower than it was in the past, or maybe your web host is throttling your server because it was consuming too many resources.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Will it work faster if I enable the ‘Increase speed by disabling do_action calls in wp_insert_post during import’?

    I mean, with this feature enabled, will the images still be sent to Amazon S3 during the products upload process?

    The import will probably run faster, but I don’t know how it will effect WP Offload S3. Using ‘Increase speed by disabling do_action calls in wp_insert_post during import’ can break other plugins that hook into the post/media creation process, which is why we disable it by default.
