Optimised WooCommerce

It would be great to have an option for optimised WooCommerce installs. Especially to have orders stored in other tables like this is the case with some cloud hosting companies instead of posts/postmeta :)

This has always been a tricky one. I'm only aware of woocart offering changing the database structure for things like staging pushes, and the potential for something to go wrong is too great a risk. We host some truly massive woo sites and anything like this needs to be absolutely bulletproof.

The good news is that WooCommerce are finally implementing proper database tables on their end, which will solve for this in the correct way - hopefully in Q3 2022.

In terms of performance, there really isn't anything special you need to do for WooCommerce. Caching will exclude the default cart/account pages. If it's busy enough that it needs it's own resources then PHP workers should be set to static and then you're pretty much set. More info can be found in the KB.
