Performance Issues with WooCommerce Under Heavy Load

Summary

WooCommerce sites are experiencing significant performance issues under heavy load, particularly during high-traffic events. Long response times due to PHP-FPM worker congestion lead to frustrating user experiences, especially for first-time visitors and during critical actions like checkout. This issue remains largely unresolved, as existing solutions do not adequately address the complexities of managing server resources and optimizing performance for dynamic e-commerce environments. Retailers are in urgent need of effective strategies to enhance site performance and ensure smooth customer interactions.
