Mysql 优化此sql查询（慢速查询）

我有一个疑问：

SELECT
            DATE(
                wp_posts.post_date
            ) post_date,
            wp_posts.id,
            wp_posts.post_title,
            wp_posts.post_status,
            wp_posts.guid,
            COUNT(
                wp_plugin_most_popular_posts.post_id
            ) as count,
            (SELECT
                COUNT(
                    wp_plugin_most_popular_posts.post_id
                )
            FROM
                wp_plugin_most_popular_posts
            WHERE wp_plugin_most_popular_posts.post_id = wp_posts.ID 

            GROUP BY
                post_id) AS view_count
        FROM
            wp_posts

        INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships rel ON wp_posts.ID = rel.object_id
        INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ttax ON rel.term_taxonomy_id = ttax.term_taxonomy_id
        INNER JOIN wp_terms terms ON ttax.term_id = terms.term_id

        JOIN wp_plugin_most_popular_posts ON wp_plugin_most_popular_posts.post_id = wp_posts.id
        WHERE
            wp_posts.post_status = "publish"

            AND taxonomy = "category"

        GROUP BY
            wp_plugin_most_popular_posts.post_id
        ORDER BY
            view_count DESC,
            post_date DESC
        LIMIT 10;

并解释回报

id      select_type     table   type    possible_keys   key     key_len ref     rows    Extra

你能帮我优化一下吗？此查询现在大约需要7-9秒：

我不是mysql优化方面的专家，我不知道该怎么做…

分类字段…他所属的表是？…查看\u count和post\u date的问题是一样的如果省略依赖子查询会发生什么？
