Hosting

Using a solid web-host plays a major part in your site's performance. For business owners setting-up a Small to Medium size WooCommerce store, a shared host from NameCheap is popular choices.

Caching

The most effective way to speed up a WordPress site is with a Caching plugin. We are using WP Rocket on the theme's preview site. WP Rocket is a premium plugin, but it's one of the best and most beginner-friendly caching plugins available in our opinion.

Images

Non-optimized images are a common issue with beginner websites. Since original images tend to be large, we recommend using an image-editor to resize and optimize them before uploading to WordPress. To help automate this process you can use an image-optimization plugin like Imagify, Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer.

CDN (Content Delivery Network)

If your site is getting a good amount of traffic you can consider using a CDN. This will ensure that your site's most frequently-accessed content (like images) are delivered from a server located closest to the visitor. The most popular providers today are Rocket CDN (our choice) and Cloudflare.

The WP Rocket caching plugin recommended above has built-in CDN support.
