Short answer: WooCommerce optimization means passing Core Web Vitals, speeding product and checkout pages, and reducing cart abandonment through caching, images, and mobile checkout design.
What is WooCommerce optimization?
Improving store performance, SEO, and conversion rates through hosting, caching, code, and checkout flow improvements.
Performance targets
