💡 TECH TIP

🛒 Why WooCommerce Checkout is 3X Slower Than Product Pages

Product pages cache perfectly. Load in 1 second.

Checkout pages? 3-4 seconds. High abandonment.

The difference?

Product pages:
→ Static content, perfect cache

Checkout pages:
→ Dynamic cart data
→ Real-time tax calculations
→ Payment gateway API calls
→ Session management
→ No cache (or breaks checkout)

Standard cache plugins can't help here.

What actually works:

✅ Redis object cache (cart sessions in memory, not MySQL)
✅ PHP-FPM tuning (20-50 workers for WooCommerce)
✅ Database optimization (clean transients, add indexes)
✅ Lazy-load payment scripts (PayPal + Stripe = 400KB)

Every 100ms delay = 1% conversion loss.
