recently our Magento store has become extremely slow. We dont really know why.
Just today I noticed when I did a database check that more than 900 indexes are identical duplicates, i.e. two exist.
My question is: hoe can this impact performance? + if it does, how would I go about deleting one of the two.
Thanks, Sean

if you want to delete them safely, i suggest you to use pt-duplicate-key-checker in Percona toolkit. It will generate the drop index SQL for you automatically.
Too many indexes do decrease performance, especially for update and insert.
You would better drop those useless indexes.
