    Hi there,
    I am investigating options to achieve the very best performance for a high-traffic site when using Metabox and its related extensions. The solution will have several CPT's and use 3-4 of the MB Extensions for part of the build.

    I believe there are x3 usage options:

    1) Use Metabox AIO plugin with the required 3-4 extensions checked "on".
    2) Use the Metabox FREE plugin with the individual 3-4 extensions as plugins.
    3) Use Composer to add the Metabox plugins and extensions I need.

    I am looking to minimise bloat, use the minimum number of dependencies for my build, and get the best performance.

    Q1) Have you ever implemented any performance benchmarking for these different approaches?
    Q2) Is there a "best" solution?

    Any advice appreciated 🙂

    Hello Leo,

    1. I've not implemented any performance benchmarking for these options. However, Meta Box won't affect the performance because you just get the field values and show them in the frontend.

    2. Depending on your requirements but I think using Meta Box AIO will be better if you want to use some other extensions later.

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for getting back to me. So, without some testing the answer to my question is not known at this stage.
