Speed

Why your WooCommerce store is slow — and how to fix it.

Honest speed audits and proper optimisation. Cheap hosting and ten cache plugins won't save you.

WooCommerce isn't inherently slow. Most slow WooCommerce stores are slow for the same handful of reasons: oversold shared hosting, a page builder doing too much work on every request, dozens of plugins each loading their own scripts, 6MB hero images, no object cache, and no CDN.

This page is honest about what actually moves the needle — and what's a waste of money. If you'd rather I just did it, fixed-fee optimisation packages are below.

What you get

Hosting audit

TTFB, server response times, PHP version, MySQL config. Move-or-stay recommendation.

Page + object caching

Redis or Memcached for object cache, properly configured page cache with cart exclusions.

CDN setup

Cloudflare or Bunny for static assets and images. Configured, not just installed.

Image overhaul

WebP/AVIF conversion, responsive sizes, lazy loading, dimensions to fix CLS.

Plugin audit

Identify what's hogging resources. Remove, replace or consolidate.

Database cleanup

Transients, post revisions, expired sessions, orphaned meta. Indexed where needed.
