WooCommerce Hosting
With an online store time literally is money. Kinsta keeps your revenue, SEO, ROI and user experience up by keeping loading times low.
Don't Let Slow Load Times Affect Your Business
WooCommerce sites are very demanding as they generate a lot of data, as well as un-cachable requests, which means you need robust PHP and database resources in place. It is important when choosing WooCommerce hosting that you choose a container-based host that is built for infinite scaling.
Revenue Drops
Every 1 second delay in page load time decreases conversion rates by 7%.
SEO Rankings Fail
Google is likely to downgrade the ranking of slow sites in their search results.
Reduced ROI
If you're spending a fortune on ads while your site is slow, you’re throwing money out the window.
Bad UX
No one likes waiting for a site to load, which means less referrals and more bad reviews.

"The COO contacted me with an actual solution instead of lot of "trust us" fluff I was getting elsewhere. He was honest and straight-forward which was very refreshing. After migration, support was handled by the CEO who made some excellent suggestions and tweaks which dramatically improved performance."
- Caleb Worm, Swagway.com

View Case StudyKinsta Optimizes for WooCommerce
Our WordPress team deals with optimizing high traffic WooCommerce sites on a daily basis. We have seen it all. Here are just a few ways we go further to find the perfect balance between performance and functionality:
- Fast server-level caching in place with rules to ensure proper WooCommerce functionality.
- By default, certain WooCommerce pages like cart, my-account, and checkout, are excluded from caching.
- Users automatically bypass the cache when the "woocommerce_items_in_cart cookie" is detected to ensure a smooth and in-sync checkout process.
- Ability to programmatically purge individual URLs using the kinsta-cache/purge_list filter.
- Programmatic purging can also be done via cURL by calling a URL with a prefix provided by our support engineers.
