Enterprise Search on multisite
After completing the steps to code-enable Enterprise Search for an environment, an Elasticsearch (ES) index must be created for each network site that will be using Enterprise Search for search queries.

Troubleshoot a WordPress site launch
If a WordPress site launch did not complete as expected, and assistance is still needed after following the troubleshooting steps below, create a request with VIP Support. If needed, the Support team can assist with restoring a site to its most recent backup.
Complete a site launch
For WordPress site launches, the search-replace step in the VIP Dashboard launch flow will update the URL values in the database with the new domain, but public traffic cannot access the site until DNS records are updated to point to VIP.
Begin a network site launch
Launch a network site on a WordPress multisite environment—or update a network site’s domain—in the Network Sites panel in the VIP Dashboard.
Begin a single site launch
WordPress single sites can be launched from within the VIP Dashboard with the self-launch tool.
Launch a site
Customers can self-launch a WordPress or a Node.js site from within the VIP Dashboard. Though launch tools in the VIP Dashboard differ for a WordPress single site, a WordPress multisite, and a Node.js site, all launches require the same preparation steps.
Disable WordPress Core’s term cache priming
A feature of WordPress Core that primes the term and/or meta caches after certain queries can result in performance issues and much longer than normal transaction times.
Offload any WP_Query to Enterprise Search
When the VIP_ENABLE_VIP_SEARCH_QUERY_INTEGRATION constant is set to true, all standard front-end search queries passed with the s argument (e.g., /?s=) are automatically sent to Elasticsearch.
Optimize core queries at scale
Performance issues can be caused by core WordPress queries that perform well when a site has a small amount of data, but as the volume of site content increases the queries require a longer amount of time to execute.
Analyze a site’s server performance
Analyzing a site’s performance, and making any necessary adjustments to improve it, will help to ensure a site’s performance during unexpected high traffic situations, including unpredictable types of request spikes. It can also improve a site’s performance during normal traffic patterns, and increase resiliency during expected high traffic events.
