Really, really slow results for 3 or more filters

Hi!
Thanks for this great plugin, I have one problem though.

Please check the link – http://turkapartments.com/real-estate/ and try to filter the items by this (or any 3 filters) –

City – Didim
Type – House
Bedrooms – 4

You will see that loading takes forever or in some case doesn’t even load. Could you please recommend what can we do to fix this? We have installed the cache, but it isn’t helping in this case.

Waiting for your answer, thanks!

Hi Kaspars

It looks like you are using a lot of post meta fields…

Post meta can often be really slow.

I would recommend to avoid/minimise the usage of this type of field and only use where necessary.

As an alternative, which you will find much faster – I would setup custom taxonomies instead of custom fields where possible. They work in just the same way as tags & categories – you can create these with some code, or another plugin.

You’ll find most fields on the demos are using taxonomies, its only the things like the slider using post meta.

Thanks
