    Hello Support Team,

    We are currently working on website performance optimization and have identified the following options in the WordPress database that contain values larger than 100 KB and are set to autoload = Yes:

    wd_imported_data_megamarket_base
    wd_import_replaced_items

    Since these options are being autoloaded on every page request, they may be contributing to increased memory usage and impacting website performance.

    Could you please clarify the purpose of these options and whether they are required during normal website operation?

    Additionally, could you confirm whether changing the autoload value for these options from Yes to No would have any impact on the theme’s functionality or any related features?

    Please let us know your recommendations so that we can proceed accordingly.

    If you require any additional information, we would be happy to provide it.

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Hello,

    These options are related to the WoodMart demo import process. They are primarily used during and after the import procedure and are not involved in the theme’s day-to-day frontend functionality.

    In most cases, changing the autoload value for these options from Yes to No should not affect the normal operation of the theme. However, before making any database changes, we strongly recommend creating a full database backup.

    After changing the autoload value, please test your site thoroughly to ensure everything works as expected.

    Best Regards

    Hi Aizaz,

    Thank you for your response.

    We have now disabled the auto-loading of these options on the website.

    Could you please review this on your end and consider removing any unnecessary autoloaded options in future releases? Reducing the number of options loaded on every request can significantly improve the website’s overall performance and efficiency.

    Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

    Regards,
    Sanjay

    Hello,

    We have reviewed the situation and agree that these options should not be loaded via autoload on every request. We have already prepared a fix and will include it in one of the upcoming theme updates. After that, these options will no longer be stored with the autoload parameter enabled, which will help reduce unnecessary memory usage and improve the overall performance of the website.

    Best Regards
