Slow queries from Divi 5 dynamic content

If your site has many properties and imported reviews, Divi 5’s dynamic-content feature can cause slow database queries.

Why this happens. On visitor page loads, Divi 5’s dynamic-content feature rebuilds its custom-fields list by scanning the entire postmeta table. On sites with large postmeta tables, such as those with many properties plus imported reviews, this scan can take tens of seconds and can run repeatedly.

What you can do. HomeRunner support can install a small must-use plugin that caches the custom-fields list, so the scan no longer runs on page loads. To have this applied to your site, contact support and share your host’s slow-query report.
