WooCommerce Optimisation
Speed Up Your Store, Increase Conversions, and Improve the Shopping Experience
Get a Performance AuditA Faster Store Means More Sales
WooCommerce stores often suffer from performance issues that drive customers away. Every second of load time costs you conversions – studies show that a 1-second delay can reduce conversions by 7%.
I specialise in diagnosing and fixing WooCommerce performance problems. From database optimisation to caching configuration, I'll transform your slow store into a fast, conversion-focused shopping experience.
Common WooCommerce Speed Issues
Slow Page Load Times
Product pages, category pages, and checkout taking more than 3 seconds to load.
Database Bloat
Transients, expired sessions, and revision buildup slowing down queries.
Plugin Conflicts
Too many plugins loading unnecessary scripts and styles on every page.
Server Bottlenecks
Inadequate hosting resources or poor server configuration.
Large Image Files
Unoptimised product images dragging down performance.
Inefficient Code
Poorly written theme or plugin code creating performance issues.
