Performance Issues & Watch WP Metadata calls setting
-
Hi there!
TLDR; For Advance Content Types PODS, that use table-based storage, can I deactivate “Watch WP Metadata calls” setting, to reduce performance impact?
Context:
After seeing big performance issues on one of my websites, I found that the reason was PODS.
From the support forum articles listed below, I can solve the issues by disabling “Watch WP Metadata calls”. That works and improves the performance.
However, I do use table-based pods, which is supposed to require that setting… BUT, my pods are all Advanced Content Type ones.
Hence, the question: Is the Watch WP Metadata calls setting required in my case, or not? Since I’m not adding meta to any default WP object, like posts.
The tooltip next to the setting is not clear on that.
– Hosting is WP Engine, with Object Cache enabled (therefore not using Pods Alternative Cache)
– Postmeta table is huge, mainly due to WooCommerce orders since we haven’t moved to HPOS custom tables yet.
Thanks!

I’ll update those tooltips to be more clear about the ACT use case.
Basically, you want to watch metadata calls if ALL of these are the case:
- You have custom post types/taxonomies, or you have extended post types/taxonomies/media/comments/users
- You use table-based storage for any of those content types
- You have any plugins that need access to your meta for read/update
If you only have Advanced Content Types or if your custom code or the Pods API are the only interface you use for those fields — you can safely turn it off.
I thought so. Thanks for the quick response!
