WooCommerce Website

I would like to get that speed below 1s optimally but I’m not sure how viable that it with an ecommerce website

I would like to add a note from my experience.

Mostly, it depends on the origin host / server which needs to be optimized and tuned up.

The best case scenario which I have tested and is working perfectly fine (for my case) was the combination of:

• dedicated server (1Gbps link, NvME disks, good CPU and enough RAM)
• WP + WC (updated)
• Nginx (with open file cache configured)
• W3 Total Cache (PHP OPCache, Memcached, Redis, Page Cache, Browser Cache)
• Cloudflare (Free or Pro plan)

BunnyCDN

Great one.

hosted with Siteground

I was on SiteGround, and their Memcached did not work properly.
Also, their cache plugin seems to have some issues as well.
Despite of the fact of they are running on Google Cloud Platform.

WP Rocket

I remember there were topics about WP Rocket + Cloudflare, therefore I suggest you to look up at the below articles in that terms:

Maybe for TTFB? Yes, but anything else, I am afraid and worried not possible if you have images, sliders, etc. on the e-commerce webshop.

• a helpful thing would be lazy-loading images for example …
• minify HTML, CSS, JS, Brotli, Rocket Loader …

Nevertheless, I would recommend going with Pro plan as it has got benefits and advantages especially due to the visitors comming from mobile (mostly nowadays), better image optimization (Mirage & Polish features) and some other.

I would also give it a try with a combination of Cloudflare APO for WordPress - but, maybe without WP Rocket or at least read below article if you are going to combine all that stuff as it could result having possible compatibillity issues as well if not configured correctly:

APO Wordpress with WP Rocket

I can confirm: WP Rocket + APO + Cloudflare’s WordPress plugin works very nicely for me. I don’t have to babysit it to check if CSS/fonts/anything is broken. (Don’t use the WP Rocket Cloudflare addon though, like you said, until the WP Rocket team releases an update.)

Haven’t tested using Pingdom, GTMetrix, even no Google PageSpeed, but from my web browser (disabled cache) results for 3 webshops (all have pretty heavy homepage, incl. 30 plugins installed each, big slider 2-3 images, etc.) I manage (same setup, same server) are as follows (Free plan all 3):

Not to mention, having Google AMP pages for them helps a lot at Google search / News at least for mine.
