Cheers NickDA, that put me at ease a little bit.
Our front-end is really fast and optimised with WP Rocket. Theme, except the database, is very lean as well.
Couldn’t you create a custom WP json for a search function? I do understand it will slow down the default WP Search, but for us that’s not an issue for this website.
We’ll keep going this route, perhaps update server when we feel like the DB starts slowing down.
