# Unregistered Tenant Database Load

Reduced unnecessary database load and error-log noise from requests for unregistered or unknown store domains by adding smarter caching and validation before those requests reach the database.

**This includes:**

* Smarter caching added for unregistered/unknown domain requests
* Validation added before requests reach the database

**How it benefits the Merchant**

This improves overall platform performance and stability by preventing bogus or misconfigured domain requests from unnecessarily straining the database.

**Potential FAQs**

Q: Does this affect my legitimate store domain traffic?

A: No — this specifically targets requests for unregistered or unknown store domains, not valid traffic to your store.

Q: Do I need to do anything to benefit from this?

A: No action is needed — the caching and validation improvements apply automatically at the platform level.
