Cache product pages aggressively. Never cache cart, checkout, or account pages. This reference table shows the exclusions and cookies for the main cache plugins, tested on staging.
A slow orders page wastes staff time and hides real orders. Diagnose admin the same way you diagnose checkout: profile, find the bottleneck, fix that one thing.
Query Monitor shows which queries, hooks, and plugins ran on a page, and how long they took. Use it on staging to find the one cause, then fix that cause.
A fast WooCommerce homepage can hide a slow checkout and a slow admin. This guide shows how to measure the pages that make money, and fix them in impact order.
HPOS moves orders out of the posts table into dedicated order tables. Done on staging, with compatibility mode and verification, it can speed up admin and order queries. Done without a rollback plan, it can break plugins that still read orders as posts.
