FAQ
❓ What is the best image size for WooCommerce?
WooCommerce recommends 800×800 pixels for product images. Compress each image to under 100KB in WebP or JPEG format for fast page loading and better Google rankings.
❓ Does image size affect WooCommerce SEO?
Yes. Page speed is a Google ranking factor. Large uncompressed images slow down your WooCommerce store and hurt both SEO and conversion rates.
❓ Should I use WebP or JPEG for WooCommerce?
WebP is recommended for WooCommerce in 2025. It produces files 25–35% smaller than JPEG at the same quality. All major browsers support WebP.
❓ Is it better to compress before or after uploading to WordPress?
Before. Pre-compressing images gives you full control over quality and file size. WordPress plugins like Smush recompress already-compressed images, which can reduce quality.
