Deep dives
Understanding HPOS
High Performance Order Storage (HPOS) is a key feature in WooCommerce that addresses issues related to order data management. Traditionally, WooCommerce stored orders in Post and Post Meta tables, which can lead to inefficiencies as businesses scale and accumulate large volumes of orders. HPOS separates order data into distinct tables, allowing the main Post and Post Meta tables to handle other content without performance degradation. By implementing HPOS, sites can be more scalable and handle growth without slowing down, making it beneficial even for new merchants who are anticipating growth.
