Website optimization on Wordpress + Woocommerce?

Question

WordPress

Hello!
What practices do you use, so to speak, to optimize and speed up Woocommerce sites?
I myself use W3 Total Cache, but it is not always possible to achieve the desired result, and there are problems with ajax from time to time.
Who will advise what?

Answer 1

W3 Total Cache is not the best solution in my opinion. Working, but not the best.
Batcache is probably better here. He's more flexible.
Further there are cases when all pages are hard cached. And they are returned from memkesh instantly.
And the entire interactive and authorization-dependent data is loaded via AJAX.
Plus the main problem in the search. Facet search is often needed. In this case, they put Elastic or Algolia.

Answer 2

Who will advise what?

Deal with the reasons, and not run to put crutches in the form of cache plugins.

Transfer to Cloudflare
Install Rocket (caching) and connect cloudflare in it, select auto settings.
Install the cron event plugin, there in the repetition you will see an event that happens every minute, increase the interval (I have once a week)
Add blocking from bots and other
crawlers to htacces Install the Pareto Security plugin for a while so that it adds bots to the blacklist.
And that's basically everything, on all my sites that are on VP, I did, the speed increased from 10-15 seconds to 2-3
