"Semantically" post meta seems favourable to me over taxonomies, and if you're truly concerned over performance then implementing things like caching or even moving away from WordPress/PHP might be worth looking into. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 10:42 | comment | added | Jonnyauk | That's for the tip - WP_Query is getting really powerful with these extra query parameters, it's great ;) However, I wonder if storing as a taxonomy might be more efficient rather than querying against 100/1000's of posts (due to the way that taxonomies/relationships are stored in separate tables away from the posts table?) | |
