WooCommerce gets slow for boring reasons. We fix the boring reasons.

Nearly every slow WooCommerce store we open is slow for the same handful of causes, and it's almost never the theme. It's wp_options autoload, plugins running queries on every page load, an unindexed wp_postmeta, full-page caching that was never configured around the cart, and a host that oversold the machine.

What we do

  • Autoload and options-table cleanup, transient discipline
  • Plugin audit — what to remove, what to replace, what to rewrite properly
  • Query and index work on wp_postmeta and wp_posts
  • Redis object caching and full-page caching with correct cart and checkout exclusions
  • Custom plugin development instead of stacking five marketplace plugins to do one job
  • PHP upgrade to 8.4 and migration off shared hosting

WooCommerce is the largest install base of any e-commerce platform on the web — roughly 6.6% of measurable sites. That is why its plugin ecosystem is both its greatest strength and the source of most of its problems: there is a plugin for everything, and most slow stores are carrying a dozen they no longer need.
