WooCommerce Hosting Requirements
The official minimum software requirements are only the starting point. A production store must also handle real shopper concurrency and business-critical data.
Updated September 9, 2026
Application compatibility
Keep WordPress, WooCommerce, PHP, database and extension requirements compatible and supported. Test upgrades in staging before deploying major changes.
Performance capacity
Focus on uncached request throughput, database response, PHP workers/process capacity, object caching and storage performance. Store traffic is often bursty around promotions.
Operational requirements
Reliable backups, staging, logs, monitoring, SSL, firewall controls and a defined restore process are more important for a store than for a disposable test site.
