It is necessary to transfer the ready solution from Google Sheets to the website, or to create a new solution.
There is a database located in a single Google Sheets document. In this Google Sheets document, there are the following sheets (1 room sale, 2 room sale, 3 room sale, 4 room sale, 5 room sale, Room sale, Houses sale, New buildings sale, Land sale, 1 room rent, 2 room rent, 4 room rent, 5 room rent, Room rent, Houses rent, Land rent)
In these sheets, there are identical columns (a - text, b-title, c-url, d-date, e-city, f-neighborhood, g-deal, h-property, i-price, j-area, k-kitchen, l-floor, m-number_of_floors, n-room, o-author, p-url_author, q-id, r-type_author, s-land, t-type_object, u-phone, v-type_walls, w-repair, x-custom, y-photo, z-status)
Problem: Over time, as the number of real estate objects in the entire document exceeded 4,000, the table began to lag. And I understand that it will only get worse.
Solution: Transfer the existing ready-made, working solution from Google Sheets to the database of the WordPress site.
How it works now: In each sheet of the Google Sheets document, there are several fixed links to the OLX website listing real estate ads (for example https://www.olx.ua/uk/nedvizhimost/kvartiry/prodazha-kvartir/cherkassy/?currency=USD&search%5Bfilter_enum_apartments_object_type%5D%5B0%5D=secondary_market&search%5Bfilter_enum_number_of_rooms_string%5D%5B0%5D=odnokomnatnye&search%5Border%5D=created_at%3Adesc&search%5Bprivate_business%5D=business)
Three times a day, a ready script page_parser.js in Google Sheets App Script sends these links to our ready parser page_parser.php on the site, which processes this link and we receive an array of text, here is an example of the text array:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 895233733
[title] => 1-room apartment - an ideal option for an investor for rent.
[location_date] => Cherkasy - August 21, 2025.
[price] => 38000.1194279799100100
[area] => .1566161680228224
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 892557014
[title] => Euro two-room apartment in the city center with gas autonomous heating
[location_date] => Cherkasy - August 21, 2025.
[price] => 71500
[area] => 42
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 889724395
[title] => Selling 1-room apartment in the residential complex SVYATOTROITSKY | Shevchenko Blvd, 202 |
[location_date] => Cherkasy - August 22, 2025.
[price] => 58821
[area] => 62.31
)
and so on.
)
This text array is sent back to Google Sheets where it is awaited and processed through our script page_parser.js as follows:
The ID of each ad is checked for existence with the ID in the database of the table. If a match is found by ID, the price in the database table is updated to the price that is in the text array. If no match is found by ID, it means that a new ad has appeared on the OLX website that is not in our database and it needs to be added to the database.
This action is handled by another ready script single_property.js in App Script, which takes the OLX link to a specific apartment (which is not in the database of the table) and sends this link to another PHP script on the site single_property.php and parses the data for this ad, where we get the following text as an example:
"https://www.olx.ua/d/uk/obyavlenie/prodam-smart-kvartiru-chehova-56-IDYK426.html

single_property.js awaits this text from the site script single_property.php and this received text is sent back to Google Sheets and sent to the corresponding ID of our database, and if such an ID does not exist, it creates a new row in the database where this data is automatically distributed across the columns of the table.
The task of the script page_parser.js is also to set in column z-status, "active" or "inactive". The logic is built in such a way that if there is a match by a specific ID from the text array and the ID in the database of the table, then status=active, if there are no matches from the text array, it means that the ad on the OLX website no longer exists and it is inactive, meaning the status in our database table will change to status=inactive.
Requirements: speed, simplicity, and conciseness.
I spoke with Gemini Pro and she said that the solution with ACF will not work because when there are more than 10,000 ads, the site with the database will also lag. Screenshot 1
One of the solutions will probably be Screenshot 2.
For clarity, we created a visual mockup of the site as it should look with a filter and a list of real estate objects (screenshot 4) and a landing page for a single ad (screenshot 3).
Details on PHP and JS scripts can be sent if needed.
If you have your own approach and vision, that is also welcome.

3070 29 1 1 Good day. WordPress is quite heavy and it is still a CMS for a blog. Also, you only need the admin panel, and there is a lot of unnecessary stuff in WordPress. So it's not entirely reasonable.
I suggest another solution. Please write to me privately, I will explain.

2107 10 0 1 Hello, Serhiy!
Google Sheets with a large amount of data (numerous columns, rows, and formulas) can indeed create excessive load, which is why the browser does not always handle processing well.
I have experience in creating real estate websites based on lightweight WordPress themes. In such projects, I implemented automatic parsing of objects categorized by key criteria: number of rooms (1-room, 2-room, etc.), district, floor, condition of repairs, availability of furniture, appliances, and other parameters. I also integrated the display of objects on a map directly in the WordPress site with address search via Google Maps.
I am ready to discuss the details in private communication.

2910 42 0 Good day.
I propose to develop a solution on Laravel (less unnecessary stuff from WordPress, convenience when expanding functionality and API integrations).
I suggest buying a template for the admin panel for $20 on ThemeForest and attaching all the functionality to it. Later, roles can be added (admin, editor, realtor, etc.)
-
1728 22 0 Good afternoon, Sergey.
There are several ways to implement it.
I am more inclined towards a complete transfer, although it is possible to leave the scripts in Apps Script.
I have questions about the website, but I am ready to help you.
The price is approximate.
Feel free to reach out.
