Practical guides for people running online shops. Browse WooCommerce or Search & AI, or use the search icon above for a specific question.
Set up topic-specific webhooks, secure and test them, and add reconciliation so missed deliveries don’t leave your stock incorrect. Follow the official docs for endpoints and headers.
If your product page’s Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is the hero photo, you can usually improve LCP by changing how the image is delivered — not the image itself. Measure first, then: ensure responsive markup, deliver the hero image eagerly, serve modern formats via your host/CDN and cut render‑blocking work.
Confirm shoppers who use keyboards or screen readers can choose size, colour and add to cart. Prefer native select/radio controls; if your theme uses custom widgets, verify ARIA roles, keyboard handling and live updates against WAI‑ARIA APG and WCAG guidance.
When a SKU runs out, choose a policy that matches its commercial future: keep the page live and mark it OutOfStock, publish but hide from catalog lists, or remove and redirect/return 410 for permanently discontinued items.
Implement hreflang so search engines can choose the right language or country page for shoppers. This guide explains the three supported methods, what to check on your live pages, and a short fictional example you can copy and test.
If filters create many parameterised URLs (color=red&size=m), decide which combinations genuinely add user value, then apply canonicalisation, non‑crawlable links or cautious robots rules. Verify the result by inspecting filtered pages and a small crawl sample.
If Merchant Center shows feed errors or disapprovals, start by exporting Diagnostics and matching each error to a WooCommerce product. Fix the feed mapping or product fields, resubmit, and repeat until the Diagnostics report clears.
Run the Rich Results Test and Search Console’s URL Inspection (live test) to confirm your product page is eligible and fetchable, map exact errors to the Product spec, and re-test after fixes.
Use a short JSON-LD Product block that maps your WooCommerce fields (title, price, sku, images, stock, brand) to schema.org properties. Check the page source and Google’s tools to confirm and fix omissions.
