WooCommerce on Static Edge: Fast Catalogs with Dynamic Cart & Checkout
Accelerate your WooCommerce store with static edge catalog delivery while preserving shopping carts, customer sessions, and secure checkout.
📋This is an interactive step-by-step HowTo guide with 3 verified installation steps.
Hybrid Static E-Commerce Architecture
High-traffic WooCommerce stores frequently suffer from origin database slowdowns because traditional setups treat every product page view as a dynamic PHP request. Nimbica implements a hybrid static edge architecture:
What is Cached at the Edge (Static)
- Product detail pages and image galleries
- Category, tag, and brand archive pages
- Shop landing page and promotional banners
What Bypasses Cache (Dynamic Edge Routing)
- Shopping Cart (
/cart) and Checkout (/checkout) - Customer Account Pages (
/my-account/*) - WooCommerce AJAX endpoints (
/?wc-ajax=*) - Live stock and inventory checks via edge API workers
📋 Verified Execution Steps (3 Total Steps)
11. Enable WooCommerce Mode in Nimbica
In Nimbica Dashboard ➔ E-Commerce Settings, toggle "WooCommerce Static Edge" to Active.
22. Verify Dynamic Bypass Paths
Confirm /cart, /checkout, /my-account, and /?wc-ajax=* are present in the Dynamic Route Bypass table.
33. Test Cart Persistence
Visit a static product page, add an item to the cart, and verify that cart fragments update seamlessly across catalog pages.
