WooCommerce speed test
See how fast your store answers real shoppers — not just the cached homepage. We open your homepage from cache and with the cache bypassed, then a product, a category and the cart, and read what the pages load.
What a snapshot can’t see — the full check can
- Your store at 3× and 5× traffic. A real load test, not one visit.
- Checkout under load. Cart, coupons, shipping rules and every payment gateway.
- Hosting limits. PHP workers, database, cache hit rate, rate limits.
- Background jobs. Stock sync, emails and scheduled actions that pile up at peak.

- Cart page1.61 sThe cart is never cached — this is where the peak hits first
- Cart fragments1.24 sRuns on every page view and is never cached — doubles PHP work at peak

Requesting your homepage like a shopper…
A few pages, one request each. The full check adds a load test at 3× and 5× traffic, checkout, payments, hosting limits and integrations.
What the test measures
A fast homepage is not a fast store.
Caches make the first page look quick. Shoppers who add to the cart, log in or filter a category get pages built by PHP — and that is where a store slows down at peak.
Server response
How fast the homepage comes back for a normal visit. It usually comes from a page cache, so it looks good even on a weak server.
With the cache bypassed
The same page built by PHP from scratch — what shoppers with something in the cart, logged-in customers and bots get. This number grows first when traffic multiplies.
Product, category and cart
Opened without cache. The cart and checkout are never cached, so their speed depends only on your server, plugins and database.
Page cache, CDN, cart fragments
Whether the cache really served the page, whether files come from a CDN, and the mini-cart request WooCommerce runs on every page view without cache.
Page weight, scripts, trackers
Heavy HTML, dozens of scripts and third-party widgets slow phones down even when the server is fast.
PHP, theme, plugins, hosting
What the server and the page reveal: an old PHP version, a heavy theme, plugins that add work to every page built without cache.
Red lines before a big sale?
We find out what breaks first — and fix it.
The readiness check load-tests a staging copy of your store at 3× and 5× traffic, walks through checkout and payments, and gives you a written fix list in 48 hours. $490, refunded if we find nothing worth fixing.
