If your website does not quickly load for the visitors, then you miss the sales opportunity. In fact, every second in your website, your conversion rate will be reduced by 7% -this is the loss of many customers!
Focusing on the speed of the website is worthy of effort, but it is not necessarily time -consuming or difficult. Let’s take a look at several methods that can optimize the Woocommerce store.
1. Compress your product picture
The picture is some \”heaviest\” website files, so they will have a significant impact on the speed of the website. The more times you compress the image, the faster the page loaded. However, of course, you don’t want to sacrifice quality. The key is appropriate image compression and optimization. There are some tips here:
- Save the image in the correct format. JPEG is usually a way to go!
- Adjust the image size before uploading the image to WordPress.
- Compressed the image before uploading the image to WordPress.

2. Use content delivery network
Content delivery network (CDN) is a server network that is strategically distributed around the world. It can reduce the pressure of your host by ing images, videos and other assets through your own network and providing services through your own network.
This is particularly useful for international stores. Suppose your website server is located in Seattle, Washington, but your client is located in the UK, China and South Africa. Usually, no matter where the shoppers are, your host will load your website from Seattle. But CDN has loaded your store from the nearest server
every customer . This means that no matter where they are, all visitors can quickly load everything.
The content delivery network is usually difficult to set, but the WordPress CDN provided by JetPack is as simple as installing a plug -in -and it is completely free! Although Jetpack is not a complete site CDN, it handles images,Video, CSS, and Static JavaScript file -are the largest violations in the speed of the site.

If there are many images in a page, browser, browser, browser Usually, each image must be loaded -even the image below the visible area of \u200b\u200bthe screen -then the website visitors can view the page. The more images you have, the longer you need.
The delay loading speeds up. Use delay loading, and the image will only be loaded when the site visitors rolled to view the image. Customers can view your products and pages faster, and you will get more sales in the end.

Video files are even heavier than images. By hosting them to third parties (such as YouTube or Vimeo), you can reduce the weight of these files. But with the emergence of these third parties, costs, advertising and competitive videos can attract shoppers to other stores.
But Jetpack video hosting solves all these problems. Embeds high -speed and high -quality videos in your posts and pages without any advertising or third -party brands. Now, you can share your product videos without having to worry about reducing your website speed.
5. Reduce the number of plug -ins on your website
You install it. The more plug -ins, the more you need to worry about security vulnerabilities, time -consuming maintenance and performance decline.
Every time someone visits your website, their browser sends a request to your server and then returns to their browser. The more active plugins, the more requests, and the more work to do before the browser is loaded.
Therefore, please get rid of any plug -in you do not use and choose to provide plug -in with multiple functions as much as possible. Jetpack is a good example -it integrates safety, speed, marketing and design functions!

If the traffic of any of the websites suddenly increases, they may exhaust the remaining resources to slow down your store.
Select a console that limits the number of sites they own on each server. Or consider buying a VPS plan or special server, you can access more resources in it. Consider moving? Jetpack recommends these hosts, Jetpack Backup makes your WordPress migration easier. 9. Update everything
