HUSKY Filters: 100,000-product benchmark
HUSKY filters was tested on 100,000 simple products 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 1300.300 ms to 412.290 ms, a 888.010 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 | 1322.410 ms | 1300.300 ms | 1258.175 ms | 266.05 | 22.10 MiB |
| On | 20/20 | 886.180 ms | 412.290 ms | 592.772 ms | 24.90 | 24.55 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 | 1742.940 / 1774.811 / 1691.060 ms | 164.440 / 260.522 / 166.080 ms |
| On | 921.360 / 818.300 / 796.220 ms | 158.700 / 195.175 / 160.360 ms |
Measured server activity
| Redis | CPU avg / max | RAM avg / max | CPU core-seconds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Off | 37.85% / 54.64% | 4487.2 / 4537.3 MiB | 47.131 |
| On | 28.55% / 50.38% | 4565.7 / 4617.7 MiB | 23.171 |
Method, versions and reproducibility
The catalogue contained 100,000 simple products. 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.
| Component | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | 4 AMD EPYC-Genoa vCPUs, 8.12 GB RAM and SSD storage |
| Stack | WordPress 7.0.4, WooCommerce 10.3.8, PHP 8.2.33 and MariaDB 10.11.17 |
| Tested software | HUSKY – Products Filter for WooCommerce Professional 1.4.3.1 |
| Catalogue | 100,000 simple products |
