How you doing today?
I’m pretty excited as I’ve been selected to speak at WordCamp Milano 2018 (“27 WooCommerce SEO Tips For Non-Techies” – link: https://2018.milano.wordcamp.org/) together with 19 WordPress experts. See you there? If not, I’m looking forward to sharing the video after November 17th 🙂
Anyway, our Wednesday appointment with “WooCommerce Weekly” is back – here comes a series of WooCommerce articles, news and information put together by yours truly so that you have something to play with this week – enjoy 🙂
WooCommerce + Jetpack: Exclude Image From “Lazy Load”
If you don’t use an “Image Lazy Load” plugin, it’s time you install one. And if you happen to pick Jetpack’s free Lazy Load module, you probably did the right thing. However, since I installed Jetpack Lazy Load, I noticed a little “jump” in my Storefront theme header section, where in fact there is an image – my Business Bloomer logo. The same might apply to any WooCommerce image: a category thumbnail, a single product featured image, a cart icon in the header, a homepage hero image, and so on. Thankfully Jetpack has a useful “filter” you can tap into in order to exclude image classes from lazy loading (yes, I found this out today, it’s not that I know everything!). So, here’s the fix: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-jetpack-exclude-image-from-lazy-load/
WooCommerce + Storefront: Hide “Home” Title @ Homepage
Storefront theme adds a “Home” H1 title to the homepage by default, no matter if you use the “Default” or the “Homepage” static page template. Of course, you could do it via CSS, with a simple “display:none”. Even better, you could completely avoid loading the “Home” title by using PHP (SEOs out there: better not to load an H1 than hiding it via CSS, right?). So, how do they do it (I mean how to hide the Storefront “Home” title)? Here’s the quick fix: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-storefront-hide-home-title-homepage/
