 * SO, I have a big shop, timco.tugboatstudio.com
 * After running [https://wordpress.inspector.io](https://wordpress.inspector.io)
   I get really bad performance/loads/page sizes/etc. When I deactivate WooCommerce
   it drops dramatically. Any ideas?
 * Bad: [http://prnt.sc/d2poti](http://prnt.sc/d2poti)
    Better (after deactivating
   Woo): [http://prnt.sc/d2ppb1](http://prnt.sc/d2ppb1)

 * Looks like you have a high image load.
 * I had a look at “Winches Hoist – The versatile series” on this page:
    [http://timco.tugboatstudio.com/product-category/winches/?v=4096ee8eef7d](http://timco.tugboatstudio.com/product-category/winches/?v=4096ee8eef7d)
 * The product image that is being uploaded is 635px x 435px, yet your theme is 
   showing it at 264px x 180px, so that’s a lot of wasted bytes for the user, and
   there are many images. Consider going to:
    Dashboard > WooCommerce > Settings
   > Display > Product Images paragraph > Catalog images and set to 264px square.
   Maybe even a bit smaller if you can sacrifice a little quality. Then run regenerate
   thumbnails.
 * Single product image should be no more than the display size of 563px square.
 * Some of your none-WooCommerce images are also quite large. Try to upload them
   at a size no bigger than the size they are being displayed at.
 * Try a cache plugin for a further speed boost.
 * This service is good for advice for improving performance:

 * Thanks lorro for this valuable info! BUT I don’t see this within WooCommerce 
   settings:
 * _Dashboard > WooCommerce > Settings > Display > Product Images paragraph > Catalog
   images_
 * At Display I don’t have a “Product Image Paragraph” section… or “Catalog Images”
 * I am current on all plugins/themes.

 * Sorry my bad:
    Dashboard > WooCommerce > Settings > _Products tab_ > Display 
   sub-page > Product Images paragraph > Catalog images

 * I see this:
 * ![Product Images settings](https://i0.wp.com/www.topcode.co.uk/wordpress/product_images_settings.

 * Looks like you have the latest WooCommerce so probably one of your plugins is
   causing a conflict and hiding the Product Images setting.
