Woo Performance Toolkit
WordPress plugin that trims WooCommerce overhead: cart fragments, front-end assets, heartbeat, scheduled DB cleanup (WP-CLI + dry-run) and diagnostics with recommendations.
Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/saizul/woo-performance-toolkit/archive/refs/heads/main.zipTrim WooCommerce overhead from one settings page: cart fragments, front-end assets, heartbeat, scheduled database cleanup and a diagnostics screen that tells you what to fix next.
Every feature is toggleable under WooCommerce > Performance and defaults are conservative: only the heartbeat throttle is active after activation.
Features
| Area | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Cart fragments | Dequeues wc-cart-fragments except on cart/checkout, pages with a cart widget/block, and an allow-list of post IDs, URLs or path prefixes (/shop/*) |
off |
| Front-end assets | Dequeues WooCommerce scripts and styles on non-shop pages without Woo shortcodes/blocks; keep-list and filters | off |
| Marketing hub | Removes the WooCommerce Admin marketing feature and Marketplace suggestions through documented filters |
off |
| WooCommerce Admin | Optional full disable via woocommerce_admin_disabled (advanced) |
off |
| Heartbeat | Slow down or disable on admin and front end; the post editor always keeps a slow heartbeat | slow |
| Cleanup | Expired WC sessions, expired transients, old Action Scheduler completed/failed actions and logs, orphaned order item meta; dry run, batching, daily/weekly schedule | schedule off |
| Diagnostics | HPOS, object cache, autoloaded options size and largest options, Action Scheduler backlog, variation-count outliers, PHP version, with recommendations | always available |
It declares compatibility with HPOS (custom order tables) and the Cart and Checkout blocks.

How cleanup stays safe
- Counts are shown first (admin Cleanup tab and
--dry-run). - Only expired sessions, expired transients, orphaned item meta and Action
Scheduler
complete/failedrows older than the retention period are touched. - Deletes run in batches (
LIMIT), never one giant query. - All SQL is built by tested classes using
%i/%s/%dplaceholders and run through$wpdb->prepare(). - Admin actions require the
manage_woocommercecapability and a nonce.
Development
Logic that does not need WordPress lives in src/ and is tested with PHPUnit
without loading WordPress. WordPress glue lives in includes/.
composer install
composer test
composer lint
