WooCommerce-Specific Optimizations

Unlike generic WordPress hosting, SiteGround's WooCommerce plans include specialized optimizations for online stores:

• WooCommerce Pre-Installed: WordPress + WooCommerce plugin + Storefront theme ready immediately

The platform's smart multi-level caching includes full-page, dynamic, and Memcached acceleration specifically tuned for WooCommerce.

Security for E-Commerce

Online stores handle sensitive customer data and payment information, requiring robust security:
