Find the scripts that cause long tasks or large network transfers, prioritise them by user value, and apply platform-recommended mitigations (defer/async, consent or interaction-based loading, SRI and caching). Test on staging and verify with lab and field metrics.
Rename a small set of product images to descriptive, machine-readable filenames, add visible captions in your CMS, confirm the final image URLs appear in your sitemap XML and watch Search Console for changes.
A concise staging-first checklist to install and configure Subscriptions, pick a subscriptions-capable gateway, verify webhooks and Action Scheduler, and run full lifecycle tests in sandbox.
Make breadcrumbs visible and machine-readable so customers (and crawlers) can see where a product sits. Use your theme or core block first, then add a matching BreadcrumbList JSON‑LD only if needed and test with Google's tools.
Decide where to host your product videos, make playback accessible, add VideoObject markup only when the player is on the page, and test performance and indexing on a staging copy.
Before you upload AI-generated or AI-edited product photos, confirm the tool’s licence, preserve the originals and record provenance so you can prove commercial rights later.
Use Search Console Crawl Stats and Coverage to find frequently crawled low‑value URLs (filters, internal search, session pages). Classify patterns, apply the least‑risky control (canonical, noindex, or block) and verify changes with URL Inspection and Crawl Stats.
If order confirmations or low‑stock alerts aren’t arriving, check three layers in this order: WooCommerce templates/recipients, WordPress/server generation, then delivery/authentication. Follow a repeatable staging test, capture headers and only then consider an SMTP relay.
If customers type “trainers” and get nothing, add a short, data‑driven synonyms list and rebuild your search index. Confirm your plugin supports synonyms, audit queries, add mappings, re‑index and test the same queries before and after.
