How Scalability Pro differs from Imagify

All plugins from Super Speedy Plugins share a SQL-first architecture and an uncompromising focus on performance — and Scalability Pro is no different. Here is what sets it apart:

Upgrade your WordPress engine with Scalability Pro.

Lifts the limits on how big your WordPress website can be by adding key indexes to speed up slow queries, rewriting queries to be faster, and providing toggle-on-off functionality for WP stuff you don’t need which is slowing down your site.

Imagify optimises image file sizes, which reduces the payload delivered to the browser. Scalability Pro targets an entirely different bottleneck — the slow WooCommerce SQL queries that inflate server response times as your catalogue grows. Image optimisation and database query optimisation complement each other but solve different performance problems on different layers of the stack.

How to choose between Imagify and Scalability Pro?

Imagify is effective at reducing image payload, but if your Time to First Byte is high or your site degrades under load, image compression alone will not fix it. Scalability Pro addresses the SQL layer — the queries WooCommerce runs against your database as product count, variation count, and order volume grow. Tested against one-million-product catalogues, with a free trial available.

Rik Engelen — December 2020

Today put this tool on my website with 50,000+ products. The page loading times were really 10 to 20 seconds during imports via wpallimport. Set all steps and go through and now around 1 to 2. What a great tool 🙂

Super happy with Scalability Pro, the support, and the results – sped up my imports by multiples. I first came across Dave and his work speeding up large Wordpress/WooCommerce sites by watching his Wordcamp presentation on scaling Woocommerce – before he had this official plugin. Having all of that expertise distilled into a plugin, it's pretty amazing and the results speak for themselves. A+++++

Daniel Antoniów — September 2021

The plugin improved category loading and page display from over 15 seconds to 2 seconds instantly. Over 250,000 products on WooCommerce. The other pages are the same, this can be seen immediately, especially when there are more products on the page
