Temporary workaround (Make MU plugin for fix)

We were able to reproduce the slow admin performance caused by the notification count logic hooked to google_for_woocommerce_admin_menu_notification_count.

As a temporary workaround, you can disable this filter using an MU plugin so the fix remains active regardless of theme changes.

Steps:

1. Create the folder if it does not exist:

wp-content/mu-plugins/

2. Create a file:

wp-content/mu-plugins/google-woocommerce-admin-performance-fix.php

3. Add the following code:

<?php
/**
 * Temporary workaround: disable Google for WooCommerce admin notification count
 * Reason: Notification count filter impacts admin performance on every page load
 */

add_action( 'admin_menu', function () {
	remove_all_filters( 'google_for_woocommerce_admin_menu_notification_count' );
}, 0 );

This removes the notification count filter and restores normal backend performance while keeping the plugin enabled and configured.

This should be considered a temporary workaround until the notification count logic is optimized (for example, by caching the response instead of running the calculation on every admin page render).

Thanks
