This guide on Speed Up WooCommerce performance will help you to decrease load speed and improve ranking, conversions, and sales of your eCommerce store.
Platforms like Shopify are great for launching a store quickly that you are managing yourself. But what happens when you're ready to scale?

In this conversation we will explore the pros and cons of WooCommerce and how it measures up to other eCommerce platforms to help you decide if WooCommerce is right for your build.

WordUp Pompey - 22nd Feb 2018 - GutenbergHerb Miller
A new block editor is being built as a feature plugin for potential inclusion in WordPress 5.0. The product is still very much in development. It appears to favour new installations.The absence of a migration plan for existing content is a major concern to some people, especially developers, who are concerned that many sites will be broken. Is this a risk you're prepared to accept?

Too many stylesheet links Storefront does it for you
Cacheing - Failed to set referrer policy Correct W3 Total Cache configuration
PayPal Express plugin replacement WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Gateway
Responsive display iPhone 4S Child theme style.css
49. Challenges – titles hidden

div.entry-content h1 {
display: none;
}
50. Challenges – h2 for product desc
https://github.com/bobbingwide/sgfixup
Challenge: H2's instead of product short description
Solution:
• Batch routine to copy the h2 content to the excerpt.
• CSS to hide the h2 and (possibly) the first paragraph.
bespoke
51. Challenges – hundreds of categories
Challenge: Hundreds of categories
Solution:
• Style Product categories widget
• Set options to:
• Order by name
• Only show children of the current category
• Hide empty categories
52. Challenges – too many stylesheet links
Challenge: Too many stylesheet links
Solution:
Storefront enqueues any child theme’s stylesheet automatically.
You don’t need to do it in functions.php
i.e. Don’t need
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'storefront_child_enqueue_styles' );
53. Challenges - Cacheing
Challenge: Failed to set referrer policy
The value '' is not one of 'no-referrer', 'no-referrer-when-downgrade', 'origin',
'origin-when-cross-origin', 'same-origin', 'strict-origin', 'strict-origin-when-cross-
origin', or 'unsafe-url'. The referrer policy has been left unchanged.
Solution: Update setting in W3 Total Cache:
Performance > Browser Cache > Directive drop down
This problem was also present in the live site.
See also: Problems – Live site broken!
54. Challenges – PayPal Express
Challenge: PayPal Express plugin replacement
PayPal for WooCommerce v1.4.14 was producing PHP Notices.
Solution: WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Gateway
Use PayPal Checkout and PayPal Standard
55. Challenges – iPhone 4S

Maybe my 4S was just too old...
Solution: Child theme style.css
@media screen and ( max-width: 480px ) { … }

Two get requests for every page Fix logic in Storefront Footer Bar
Firefox requesting shop/page/2 ! Prevent Firefox prefetch
Live site broken! See: Do not break the current site
58. Problems – Thumbnail regeneration

Problem: Add to cart failing due to many missing tables.
Bad export from wp-cli
Solution:
wp search-replace –export=sgm.sql --all-tables
61. Problems - Contact form
Problem: Contact form not working in Live site – Fatal messages in PHP 7.1
Workaround: Revert to PHP 5.6
Solution: oik plugin already in use so…
Replace by [bw_contact form].
But may need some additional spam checking logic; captcha / Akismet
https://wordpress.org/plugins/oik/ FREE
62. Problems – Contact form From: email
https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/
Problem: From email address overridden by Easy WP SMTP
Easy WP SMTP allows you to configure and send all outgoing emails via a SMTP server.
This will prevent your emails from going into the junk/spam folder of the recipients.
Solution: Add filter to child theme to add user's email and name as part of the
email content.
FREE
63. Problems – doing it wrong
Problems:
• Plugins issuing Notify messages when WP_DEBUG true.
• WooCommerce issuing deprecated code messages.
Workaround:
• Set WP_DEBUG false.
• Deactivate plugins.
Solutions:
• Fix the original plugins – Incremental Product Quantities
• Switch to alternative plugins – WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Gateway
• Copy/paste required code into child theme – Thumbnail input quantities
64. Problems – Stop running this script?
This message came from Windows File Explorer.
I think it was moaning about Photos.
Red herring.
Shoddy Blaming.
65. Problems – This site can’t be reached
Problem: This site can’t be reached
Explanation: Probably a combination of gzip compression and PHP Warning
messages from tracing.
Workaround: Disable gzip compression
66. Problems – Unable to see command
line output
Problem: echoed output is not visible until the end of a routine run on the
command line ( PHP “CLI”: WP-CLI or oik-batch )
Workaround: Disable plugins that perform output buffering globally
Solution:
• Must use plugin
• Only needed for local development
• When using command line routines
• Prevent W3TCGeneric_Plugin::ob_callback from being registered
• Prevent ob_gzhandler from being attached farFutureExpiration::do_init_time_tasks

67. Problems – HTML tags disappearing
Problem: After running fixup logic to remove [box] shortcodes from Product
category descriptions I noticed all HTML tags had been stripped.
Explanation:
• WordPress SEO adds support for HTML in taxonomy descriptions
• It removes filters that disallow HTML
• It fails to do this in CLI processing
Solution:
• Recover wp_term_taxonomy
• In fixup, as part of apply_taxonomy_fixups()
remove_filter( "pre_term_description", "wp_filter_kses", 10 );

68. Problems – Two get requests for every
page
Problem: I noticed that each page was being requested twice.
Explanation: Storefront Footer Bar was requesting the current URL for the
background image.
Workaround: Set a background image for the Storefront Footer Bar
Solution:
Fix inline CSS
Only set background-image property when a background image is defined
Follow up: Fixed in v1.0.4

69. Problems – Firefox requesting
shop/page/2
Problem: When visiting the shop Firefox also visits /page/2
Explanation: Red herring for previous problem.
Firefox has some special prefetch logic when it sees something like this
<link rel="next" href=“link” />
Workaround: In Firefox
Visit about:config
Find Network.prefetch-next
Right click and toggle it to false
Solution: Disable creation of adjacent links
add_filter( 'wpseo_disable_adjacent_rel_links', '__return_true' );
70. Non Functional Requirements

71. Remove query strings
Removes all query strings from static resources meaning that
proxy servers and beyond can better cache your site content (plus,
better SEO scores).
Didn't seem all that necessary. Only changed one string.

78. Maintain server performance
Used oik-bwtrace to log server response times – daily trace summary
Deactivated wp-optimize
Far future expiry – deactivate gzip compression while tracing.
Implemented oik-widget-cache
Only minify once – in autoptimize not W3 Total Cache

82. Lessons learned
Lesson Learned ?
In test environments deactivate plugins only intended for Live Eventually
How to stop Google bot indexing a test site? Nope – but see above
Clear browser cache when site is not available after DNS hoo-ha Eventually
Regular backups are vital; for all environments Often a given
Use MU plugins in local / command line development to develop
workarounds to some problems
Yes
WordPress SEO can be just as happy if you don’t use heading tags TBD
Retain a working copy of the original site, incl. updates Yes
You’re probably not the first to suffer a problem Common knowledge
You may be the first to actually fix it and you get kudos
Some problems may never be resolved life’s too short
I still don’t know the best way to update the uploads folder one day
… in some cases lessons not learned!
