10,000-row Product Synchronisation
Deterministic repeat, WebToffee Free 2.6.5: 358.644 seconds to change 2,500 products and add 1,000. The recorded configuration retained the 1,000 products omitted from the previous file. During the run, CPU averaged 28.10%, RAM averaged 1,146.3 MiB and disk activity averaged 7.35%. After subtracting the measured baseline, the job used 5.6931 vCPU-minutes, 26.344 seconds of disk-busy time and 255.765 MiB of writes. The repeat ran on WordPress 7.0.3 and WooCommerce 11.0.0, as stated on the comparison page. Inspect the measured result. The earlier recorded run remains below as separate evidence.
Earlier run, compared with Super Speedy Imports Pro 2.83.0: WebToffee Free 2.6.5 processed the 10,000-row synchronisation feed in 488.235 seconds by browser wall time. It correctly changed 2,500 existing products and added 1,000 products. Its free interface offered no delete-missing control, so it retained the 1,000 original products omitted from the update feed.

What this update means
The timing comparison favours WebToffee slightly because its free edition did less work. Both importers matched by SKU, processed the same 10,000 input rows, applied the same 2,500 changed values and inserted the same 1,000 new SKUs. Super Speedy Imports additionally found the 1,000 original SKUs absent from the feed and moved them to Trash. WebToffee Free left those products published.

Environment (earlier run)
| Component | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | Hetzner benchmark VPS, 4 vCPU, 8,121,954,304 bytes RAM |
| Stack | PHP 8.2.33, MariaDB 10.11.18, WooCommerce 10.3.8 |
| Isolation | Hetzner snapshot 390805640 restored before each plugin |
| Dataset | The exact same CSV bytes were supplied to both plugins |
| Images | None, so the test isolates CSV parsing and WooCommerce data writes |
Correctness
The final catalogue contained 11,000 unique published SKUs. Every published product had both global attributes and all four expected taxonomy relationships. Exactly the intended 2,500 retained products held the changed test values, and exactly 1,000 new SKUs existed.
Post-import catalogue evidence
These screenshots were taken in the earlier run, immediately after the plugin reported completion. They show the WooCommerce product total, category and brand counts, global attributes, and the colour and size term counts.

Caveats
This is the free edition result. It should not be read as proof that WebToffee Pro cannot remove missing products; that was not tested. The test-site-only nginx bypass in the earlier run was non-binding for the reasons recorded above. Absolute timings will vary on other hardware.
