    Hello,

    I heard from a developer, that when you uninstall the Woocommerce plugin from your site that there is “scripts” or “remnants” of Woocommerce left behind on your website even though you have uninstalled it, how do I make sure there is nothing left behind? If someone could please help as I am trying to make sure that my site speed is doing as best as possible.

    PS Also is it true that when you install Woocommerce onto your site it puts unnecessary scripts unto all your pages where it is not needed and if so, why?

    Thank you in advance.

    you can have a look at your DB and check out with this sql querry if there are any things on autoload

    SELECT option_name, length(option_value) AS option_value_length FROM wp_options WHERE autoload ='yes' ORDER BY option_value_length DESC
    then use this
    SELECT * FROMwp_optionsWHEREoption_nameLIKE 'enter name here'
    then this
    DELETE FROMwp_optionsWHEREoption_nameLIKE 'enter name here'

    and you can check for you session with this
    SELECT * FROMwp_optionsWHEREoption_nameLIKE '_wp_session_%'
    if there are many listings in your DB delete them with this
    DELETE FROMwp_optionsWHEREoption_nameLIKE '_wp_session_%'

    Hello Braehler!

    Thank you so much for your reply, sorry for my delayed response, I had not realized someone answered me.

    Braehler, Im not tech savvy at all and this sounds almost like a foreign language to me, so question, where and how on my dashboard do I do what you have suggested?

    Thank you again so much for all your help.

    Hi there,

    If you need to remove ALL WooCommerce data, including products, order data, etc., you need to be able to modify the site’s wp-config.php file to set a constant as true. This document goes over how to achieve this, but please know this can’t be done from the site’s dashboard. This guide goes over how to edit the site’s wp-config.php.

    Best,

    Ross

    Hello Ross!

    Thanks so much for the info, really appreciate it! I am not tech savvy at all so really appreciate your time and help.

    I do have another question, if you can maybe help with this…see I initially installed this plugin and put some work into it with brand colors and products etc and now I hear a bit of negative remarks as far as how it loads a lot of “extra” scripts unto pages that it doesn’t need to and what concerns me is page speed and being negatively impacted by Google as I have seen half my pageviews have gone done since Ive installed the plugin, that is why Im truly considering uninstalling it, do you know if this is true?

    And if it is true, by me uninstalling it, would that be enough or will I have to go into the wp-config.php to remove “everything” so pagespeed is not affected?

    Thank you so much in advance Ross for any insight you can offer as this is just so confusing to me.

    Hey @carena
    no problem. These are SQL script. You have to run them in your php admin. Sounds a little crazy, but you can just copy and paste them into the sql command of your php admin and the go 😉
