In the site I’m trying to optimize, I noticed several queries that are rather slow and start with SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS

Searching this site, the relevant question wordpress query causing load has no adequate answer, in my opinion.

Can I somehow disable SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS without breaking too many things – if possible breaking nothing? It seems that pagination relies on this.

@Wyck advised me to read this core ticket: #10964. After reading it, I can’t really understand if the ticket been completely resolved, it seems not.

In any case, is there a way to disable SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS?

  1. First should only disable SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS if you aren’t using pagination, to do so set parameter no_found_rows to true in WP_Query.

    WP_Query( array( 'no_found_rows' => true ) );

    Note get_posts() does that by default.
