Overview
WooCommerce sites require more resources than regular blogs. With proper optimization, you can make your store fast and responsive.
1. Use LiteSpeed Cache with WooCommerce rules
- Enable Object Cache
- Disable cache for Cart/Checkout
- Enable “ESI” for dynamic parts
2. Update PHP version
Use the fastest supported version: PHP 8.2+
3. Optimize images
- Use WebP
- Enable image optimization in LSCache
4. Reduce plugins
Remove:
- Unused WooCommerce extensions
- Duplicate optimization plugins
- Heavy page builders
5. Enable CDN for static files
Recommended:
- QUIC.cloud
- Cloudflare
6. Optimize database
- LiteSpeed Cache → Database Optimization
- Delete old orders, sessions, logs
7. Monitor resource usage
DirectAdmin → Resource Usage helps identify CPU or RAM spikes.
8. Use staging before updates
WooCommerce updates can break your store — always test them on a staging site first.
