Number of variations which are idle to avoid CPU issues?

[jaykay]

How many variations are good enough to avoid cpu usage issue? I have seen many replies on the forum stating that too many variations of a product can also contribute to cpu usage. I have many products with up to 8 variations. I am not adding any product above 8 variations. What is the max number of variations for you? And if possible, kindly share the number of products on your site.

TIA

Try to keep products to 500 or less if you have variation heavy products and you shouldn't have problems. But your hosting is another factor as well.

I have 8 stores with approx 300 products each..maybe half of them with a few variations. I have had no problems so far...but my sites are slowly growing with more products so I anticipate problems in the future.

That's why I am biting the bullet and going back to the Original plugin.

Thank you "WELL KNOWN ACTIVE MEMBER"
I was worried about adding products with 8-10 variations. Almost 25% of my products are with 8-10 variations and rest of them are below that. My hosting is with Siteground and till now my CPU usage stays under control until I use manual update. As you are running 8 stores, I am very sure that these variations are not going to hurt before 500 products.

I wish I could use original plugin, but the themes are not suitable for my store and I am not good in coding at all. Nor I have a budget to hire a freelancer. So, I have to start with woocommerce only. I am hoping for the best and I will also shift once I start getting enough sales.

Thanks once again

I think @Mar had problems with Siteground. Not sure what it was.

I've spent the past 3 days making a Davinci Child theme and changing it quite a bit. It's enabled me to add extra functionality to it. It's almost as good as a Woo setup ... so now the real work begins. Changing 8 sites back to the Original. I still have the old original sites backed up ... so it won't be completley from scratch.

Sounds great. It makes me think about the original plugin as I have just deleted all the products and extended launch date of my store. I am just not sure how much I can manipulate the themes as they look very basic. I may give them a try on a subdomain, but as a novice coder, I may end up frustrated
Moreover, I have already purchased a woocommerce theme
