What woocommerce-performance does

The skill inspects WooCommerce PHP code to catch database bottlenecks and missing cache warmups. It validates data retrieval logic. The guidelines assist during code reviews and while writing new routines for the product catalog.

The instructions focus on two areas. Cache priming covers post objects via _prime_post_caches() alongside non-autoloaded options using wp_prime_option_caches(). Query analysis flags repetitive database lookups, steering queries toward lookup tables like wc_product_meta_lookup.

The rule set targets WordPress database architecture directly. Skipping these checks causes MySQL to execute heavy table scans across unindexed postmeta records.

What it helps with

prevent redundant SQL queries when loading products
prime post caches using _prime_post_caches()
batch load non-autoloaded options with wp_prime_option_caches()
replace expensive postmeta joins with WooCommerce lookup tables

Example prompts for the agent

Review this WooCommerce order query method for missing cache priming
Optimize this custom SQL query to use wc_product_meta_lookup instead of postmeta
Check this options loop and add wp_prime_option_caches

What does woocommerce-performance do?

It reviews WooCommerce PHP code to identify missing cache warming, N-query loops, and unoptimized SQL joins across database tables.

Which options does wp_prime_option_caches target?

It targets non-autoloaded options requested inside loops or methods. Autoloaded options are already in memory, so priming them is unnecessary.
