WooCommerce performance optimization. Faster cart, fewer abandoned orders.
From product grids to checkout, I remove the slow queries, heavy scripts and layout shifts that quietly cost you orders. Same store, same design, faster money.
Problems I fix.
If two of these are you, I can probably have it sorted this week.
- Cart and checkout take seconds to respond, customers leave
- Catalog of 500+ products with painfully slow category pages
- Admin orders screen times out on busy days
- Cart fragments and tracking scripts firing on every page
- Hosting bills growing while the store gets slower
Everything included. Nothing padded.
Fast cart and checkout
Cart fragments tamed, checkout scripts trimmed, payment gateways kept fully working.
Query and cache tuning
Object cache (Redis), transient cleanup, missing indexes added, slow queries rewritten.
Product media strategy
WebP/AVIF, correct thumbnail sizes, lazy loading and CDN for product images.
Checkout UX quick wins
Fewer fields, autofill, mobile-friendly touch targets. Small changes, measurable lift.
Large catalog ready
Stores with 1,000+ SKUs get query optimization that pays off most.
Conversion tracking
Before/after measurement set up so you see the money, not just the milliseconds.
From access to proof.
You hand over access. I hand back numbers. Snapshot before, rollback ready, no downtime.

Proof
Before/after metrics and conversion tracking so you can watch the lift over the next weeks.
A typical case: cart fragments refreshing on every page, a related-products query with no index behind it, tens of thousands of expired transients in wp_options and four tracking scripts on the checkout. After the sprint: fragments only where the mini-cart is shown, an object cache in front of the database, a clean options table and checkout scripts cut down to what the payment gateway needs. Every payment method is tested with a real order on staging before anything goes live.
This is for you if
- Slow cart or checkout causing abandonment
- Large catalog with query bottlenecks
- You need quick wins without downtime during a sales season
Not a fit if
- Shared hosting with no upgrade path (I'll say so up front)
- Stores that need a full theme redesign first
- No staging environment and no way to create one
Things people ask before they book.
Do you work with payment plugins?
Yes: Stripe, PayPal, Square, local gateways. Checkout scripts get optimized without touching the payment flow, and I test transactions on staging first.
Can you handle large catalogs?
That's where the biggest gains are. Object caching, transient cleanup, lazy-loaded grids and proper database indexes make 1,000+ product stores feel instant.
Any impact on SEO?
Positive. Faster pages crawl better and pass Core Web Vitals. Product schema and canonicals stay intact.
Do you do A/B testing?
Yes, for checkout UX changes. I can set up split tests so you see the conversion lift of each change.
How much does it cost?
Most projects are €490–1,800 depending on catalog size and hosting. Fixed quote after the audit.
What access do you need?
WordPress admin (staging first if you have it) and hosting panel or SFTP when server-level work is needed. I work under NDA on request, use least-privilege access, and remove my access when the job is done unless you keep me on a Care plan.
Mobile checkout?
A core focus. Fewer fields, autofill, deferred scripts, accessible touch targets, tested on real devices.
Timeline for results?
Measurable within 24 hours. Deeper work (query restructuring, caching layers, host migration) gets a phased plan with weekly milestones.
