What slows down WordPress the most? (Our findings after analyzing hundreds of sites)

Hey everyone

We've been building WP Multitool a WordPress performance toolkit and after analyzing hundreds of WordPress sites, we keep seeing the same performance killers over and over:

1. Unoptimized database queries
The #1 culprit. Plugins running queries without proper indexing, autoloaded options tables growing to 50MB+, and post_meta queries that scan entire tables. Most site owners have no idea these are happening.

2. Too many autoloaded options
WordPress loads ALL autoloaded options on every single page request. We've seen sites with 10MB+ of autoloaded data. Transients that never expire, abandoned plugin settings it adds up fast.

WP Multitool - Find what's slowing your WordPress. Fix it.

WP Multitool is a WordPress optimization plugin that helps site owners and developers diagnose and fix performance issues. Instead of installing multiple plugins, WP Multitool provides a modular toolkit that replaces them all with zero bloat architecture. Features include AI-powered Slow Query Analyzer (detects DB queries), Quick Updater (batch update plugins/themes), and Config Manager (export/import wp-config.php settings).

Why is it worth being on Product Hunt every day?

I ve been here for almost three years, and over time, I ve started to see this platform as a social network.

I know that many people come to launch their products and, due to time constraints, do not have time to establish a strong presence here, but I m glad some regular users focus on building the community.

I've built FairPrice in 3 days - AMA

Hey,
My name's Marcin - I've been a PHP/WordPress developer for almost the last 15 years.
I've built FairPrice.work because I realized that I'm getting anxious about fixed-cost budgets.
So I've built a very simple tool primarily for myself, but then I realized it's also an opportunity for
me to make it a product - because if I need it - there's a chance there are others that feel the same.
On top of that I thought that's a great way to learn/test a lot of things (this is my first product launch)
The whole development process took around 4 days - I've started on Thursday 2nd of October.
And technically, it's ready to work today.
