 * Hello,
 * I have an issue with the following product which the variables don’t display 
   as they’re set.
 * The Kidney Table has 2 different sizes:
    1. Seats 4-6 (LxW) 120x78cm 2. Seats
   6-10 (LxW) 180x120cm
 * Seats 4-6 (LxW) 120x78cm should only show:
    1 Table height (0.5 – 2 years (H)
   30cm) with these 3 Table Top Colour Choices (Natural Birch, Scandinavian Birch
   and Midnight Birch)
 * Seats 6-10 (LxW) 180x120cm should only show:
    3 Table heights (0.5 – 2 Years (
   H) 30cm, 1.5 – 3 Years (H) 45cm and 3.5 – 5 Years (H) 50cm) with these 11 Table
   Top Colour Choices (Light Grain, White, Tawa, Dark Grain, Pearl, Storm, Blue,
   Green, Orange, Red and Atom)
 * On the backend, I’ve created variations for just exactly that but they’re showing
   all the options in the dropdowns.
 * Attached screenshot of the variables. Also attached a screenshot of the table
   in catalogue format for your reference.
 * The Table Edging and Table Leg Colour Choices can be mixed and matched with the
   above so I put “Any…” for those 2 attributes.
 * Pls assist.
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fvariable-products-79%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello there,
    This is normal and expected.
 * It happens when the amount of variations on a product is more than 20. It is 
   a matter of performance. If all the variations are loaded with the product in
   order to remove the non-matching ones from the dropdown, the website may slow
   down significantly.

 * This code works! Thanks [@nicolamustone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicolamustone/)!
 * I didn’t know that the variations could slow down the performance of a website!
   I have a few other products that have more than 100 variations, is there any 
   way to keep these variations and not affect the performance?

 * 100 per product is ok, but the more you add, the slower it becomes until it’s
   actually noticeable. Also, it depends on how many products you have in general.
 * One thing is 5 products with 100 variations each, one is 1000 products with 100
   variations each.
 * To answer your question, at the moment the best you can do is use good hosting.
   We are constantly working on performance and scalability as well.

 * Thanks for your help in answering those questions! Really appreciated. I’ll look
   into the variation options.
