medium weight

Why It Shows Up

Plugin Check found arguments or code paths associated with slow queries, broad exclusions, suppressed filters, or uncached work.

Why It Matters

  • Cache repeated expensive results.
  • Measure the query plan or runtime on a realistically sized dataset before deciding the warning is harmless.
