I have this query in my slowqueries table which essentially is taking about 5-8 seconds to complete the query time:
SELECT s0_.id AS id0, s0_.updated AS updated1,
s0_.created AS created2,
s0_.deletedAt AS deletedAt3,
s0_.checked AS checked4,
s0_.mediaid AS mediaid5,
s0_.numberoflikes AS numberoflikes6,
s0_.numberofdislikes AS numberofdislikes7,
s0_.numberofcomments AS numberofcomments8,
s0_.createdtimestamp AS createdtimestamp9,
s0_.caption AS caption10,
s0_.captionOriginal AS captionOriginal11,
s0_.price AS price12,
s0_.link AS link13,
s0_.lowresimageurl AS lowresimageurl14,
s0_.highresimageurl AS highresimageurl15,
s0_.medresimageurl AS medresimageurl16,
s0_.isLocked AS isLocked17,
s0_.isShown AS isShown18,
s0_.isStyleInspiration AS isStyleInspiration19,
s0_.color AS color20,
s0_.viewed AS viewed21,
s0_.viewed_today AS viewed_today22,
s0_.shop_id AS shop_id23
FROM app_instagram_shop_picture s0_
LEFT JOIN app_instagram_shop s1_
ON s0_.shop_id = s1_.id AND (s1_.deletedAt IS NULL)
WHERE
(s0_.isShown = 1 AND
s0_.isStyleInspiration = 0 AND
s1_.id <> 24576 AND
s0_.id <> '513385.25' AND
s1_.isLocked = 1 AND
s0_.isLocked = 0 AND
s0_.id >= '513385.25') AND
(s0_.deletedAt IS NULL)
ORDER BY s0_.updated DESC LIMIT 16;
I wonder what is the best way to optimize this query? I have been using percona toolkit and here's the output for this particular query.

Best Answer
Indexes are usually the best way to increase the speed in any query, but there are other alternatives that might help:
1) Check if the field you are joining the tables are INTEGERS instead of CHAR/VARCHAR. In your case would be s0_.shop_id = s1_.id. Replace them by INTEGERS if possible, that reduces the time to join the table during the query.
2) The field s0_.id seems to be a CHAR/VARCHAR, but looks like you are storing float/double values on it. Change the field type to float/double.
3) Depending on what database you are using (Oracle, Mysql, Postgre, ...) it might have an embedded cache system. Even if it doesn't have, you can use Memcache or Redis.
