WordPressVIPMinimum.Performance.WPQueryParams.PostNotIn_exclude
Post Not In exclude
The plugin uses a query or runtime pattern that can become expensive on larger sites.
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
Performance issues often appear only after a site has enough content, orders, users, or traffic.
How to Fix
- Avoid broad exclusion lists and unbounded queries on front-end requests.
- Cache repeated expensive results.
- Measure the query plan or runtime on a realistically sized dataset before deciding the warning is harmless.
