When running a Woocommerce store, the backend is as important as the frontend. Every query from customers navigating the store needs to be fast and depends if you have a healthy database.
Cleaning up the database of junky queries is the first step in making the database healthier. You can use Advanced Database Cleaner.
To identify high-resource usage assets in the backend of Woocommerce, install the Query Monitor plugin and check for plugins using many resources, or doing many tasks/actions. High resource usage will appear with red warnings.
CodeProfiler also analyzes your backend performance and provides insights from each plugin installed.
Another way to solve backend issues is using 3-party plugins for crucial parts of your store.
