The database is the core of your WooCommerce store, containing all of your site’s critical data. This includes every product, category, order, customer record, and setting for your e-shop. The health and efficiency of this database directly impact the speed and reliability of your entire store, from browsing digital products to processing checkouts.

On our Managed WooCommerce platform, Nexcess handles the optimization and maintenance of the MySQL server itself. Your responsibility is the management of the data within the database. Common tasks include accessing the database directly to make specific changes, creating manual backups before major updates, and performing cleanup routines to keep your e-shop running efficiently.
