Super Speedy Filters: 10,000-item filter benchmark
Super Speedy Filters was tested on 10,000 catalogue items with Redis object caching off and on. The benchmark used ten fixed filter cases, requested twice, with expected product counts checked on every request.
In this run, Redis changed the second-pass average from 152.550 ms to 148.420 ms, a 4.130 ms reduction. This is one controlled run per cache mode, not a claim that Redis always changes network TTFB by the same amount.
Filter request results
| Redis | Correct | First-pass TTFB | Second-pass TTFB | PHP render | DB queries | Peak PHP memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Off | 20/20 | 151.880 ms | 152.550 ms | 104.094 ms | 119.70 | 18.00 MiB |
| On | 20/20 | 158.630 ms | 148.420 ms | 95.889 ms | 8.35 | 16.50 MiB |
TTFB includes network and web-server time. PHP render time, database queries and peak request memory are reported separately so a network fluctuation is not mistaken for plugin execution time.
Visitor and wp-admin response
Independent page probes ran before, during and after the fixed filter workload. Values are average TTFB.
| Redis | Visitor before / during / after | wp-admin before / during / after |
|---|---|---|
| Off | 209.040 / 218.325 / 236.520 ms | 177.780 / 184.325 / 153.920 ms |
| On | 228.300 / 223.725 / 219.060 ms | 144.800 / 175.225 / 148.800 ms |
Measured server activity
| Redis | CPU avg / max | RAM avg / max | CPU core-seconds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Off | 16.58% / 23.23% | 886.7 / 896.1 MiB | 5.098 |
| On | 15.94% / 23.17% | 892.2 / 917.3 MiB | 4.736 |
Method, versions and reproducibility
The catalogue contained 2,000 variable products and 8,000 variations. Each configuration ran the same ten semantic cases twice in a fixed order, starting with the shop page. The cases covered the shop, category, brand, colour, size and combined filters. Every recorded request returned the expected product count.
