Timeless Reindex by Cron

A major drawback of stores with numerous categories and products in them is it takes more and more time to save these entities after a while. A number of attributes and DB records steadily grows to make re-index slower. With a fresh start, it takes firm 1-2 seconds to make a save. Months later, a 'Please wait' message keeps hanging forever while saving products or categories.

It is Magento standard 'Reindex on save' that takes 85% of time for a save procedure. The given extension rectifies this situation by running re-index automatically few minutes later. Additionally, it only re-indexes data that has changed within previous 5-minute timeframe (async re-index).

Quickly and confidently, now you can save products and categories avoiding full re-index when it is not needed. As if you own a newly set up Magento store.
