 * In an attempt to offset the multiple slow Wicked Folder Pro queries, I up-scaled
   my server today, doubling the hosting costs. Now running 48 GB memory and 12 
   vCPUs, and still, slow-loading admin pages with only minimal features enabled.
   I’m in the process of offloading all media to Cloudflare R2. There must be a 
   way for Wicked Folders Pro to handle large sites without slowing down the WordPress
   Admin UI to a crawl.
 * This is from /wp-admin/upload.php

 * Settings, these are the only active, checked items:
    – Folders /Media
 * – Show number of items in each folder
    – Show unassigned items folder – Don’t
   reload page when navigating folders – Enable folder context menus
 * – Dynamic Folders /Media
 * Media:
    – Don’t reload page when navigating folders – Enable folder context menus
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmultiple-slow-queries%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@centuryperf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/centuryperf/),
 * Thanks for reporting this issue and I’m sorry you’re having trouble.
 * Dynamic folders are generated on the fly and, for that reason, can be slow on
   large sites. They’re intended to be a helpful feature but aren’t required to 
   use the plugin or organize items into folders. I believe if you disable the dynamic
   folders for media, that should resolve the slow queries you’re seeing.
 * I will look into a different way of loading the dynamic folders for better performance.
   In the meantime, please let me know if you still have trouble after disabling
   them.

 * Hi [@centuryperf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/centuryperf/),
 * Just checking in to see if disabling the dynamic folders solved this issue for
   you?
 * FYI, I’m working on modifying the plugin to lazy load the dynamic folders in 
   order to improve the performance. This will be available in the next release 
   of the plugin.
