How Scalability Pro differs from WP Rocket

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:

Your site was fast when it was small. Now archive pages, imports and wp-admin screens are waiting on the database. Scalability Pro adds the indexes WordPress leaves out, stops it counting rows nobody reads, and defers the work that turns an import into an overnight job.

How to choose between WP Rocket and Scalability Pro?

Choosing between WP Rocket and Scalability Pro comes down to how seriously performance at scale matters to your business. Scalability Pro was built from the ground up with a SQL-first architecture, and every release is benchmarked against a one-million-product WooCommerce store before it ships — the kind of rigorous testing that surfaces the performance issues other plugins quietly ignore. A free trial is available so you can see the difference on your own staging environment before committing.

It took me almost a year to find this plugin. I can truthfully say it is without question a must have if you have any intensions of scaling woocommerce. Not to mention awesome support the few issues I had because of my theme were taken care of by Dave himself. Not only did he fix the small issues with my theme he took the time via my request to touch up my database while he was in there. Thank again I am thankful for your help and putting up with my relentless questions. Utmost respect – joe miller

I can't praise enough this plugin. It helped me scale my woocommerce site. Importing products now it's a breeze! Scalability pro cut the importing time to half (i am also using external images). Also my site loads much much faster than previously! Next stop: super speedy search and faster woo widgets. If you want to scale your woocommerce site don't miss Dave's plugins. They are a must. Thanks Dave

Hello! I have a wordpress e-commerce website and woocommer. My website has about 100k products x 288 variants. And recently, I often don't have access to line items. So does your plugin optimize that? Thank you very much!

What's new in Scalability Pro?

6.38.0 (30th October 2026)

  • *Alter main query to use EXISTS rather than LEFT JOIN* leaves pages Super Speedy Filters serves from its own index to Super Speedy Filters, so they no longer carry an extra product visibility check.

6.37.11 (30th October 2026)

  • Fixed database errors about missing `scalability_pro_post_count_cache` and `scalability_pro_transient_cache` tables after activating Scalability Pro with WP-CLI: activation creates the cache tables before anything uses them.

6.37.10 (29th October 2026)

  • Updated super-speedy-settings to 1.14.3: update downloads now send the licence key in a request header instead of the download URL.

6.37.9 (29th October 2026)

  • Fixed native WordPress search running slower with Scalability Pro's indexes installed on large stores: the `wpi_scalability_pro_sitemaps` index now leads with `post_type` and is rebuilt automatically after updating.

6.37.8 (29th October 2026)

  • Reworded the *Alter main query to use EXISTS rather than LEFT JOIN* description: it changes how the SQL is written, never which products are shown.
