WordPress and WooCommerce run on the same managed stack as Magento: their own PHP pool, protection, backups and SSL.
Updates
The Actions tab updates core, plugins and themes with WP-CLI, and can verify core checksums to spot changed core files (a common sign of a hack). Update on a staging copy first when the store is busy.
Caching
- OPcache is on for every application.
- A page cache plugin (for example WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache) speeds up pages for visitors who are not logged in. WooCommerce cart, checkout and account pages must be excluded; good plugins do that on their own.
- Bot protection and the browser check work for WordPress exactly as for Magento.
wp-cron
By default WordPress runs its scheduled tasks when visitors load pages. On busy stores it is better to disable that and run wp-cron from the server's cron every few minutes; ask us and we set it up.
Uploads and permissions
Files uploaded by WordPress and by your SFTP users belong to the application's user, so plugin and theme updates never fail on permissions.
Flush rewrite rules (Actions) fixes most 404 errors after changing permalinks or moving a site.
