We recently stumbled upon a tool that we thought was so handy, we simply had to share!
Have you ever worried about whether or not your WooCommerce store is actually working correctly and customers are able to get through your checkout successfully?
Or perhaps, you’ve had a customer contact you to let you know your store isn’t working properly, leaving you to wonder how long it hasn’t been working and how many customers you may have missed out on?
Websites and online stores are not immune to the occasional breakage. There are many circumstances which may cause an online store to stop functioning correctly, from a bad update, to the installation or update of a conflicting plugin – or worst of all, the store being hacked.
If any of the above sounds familiar, fear not! There’s a new tool in town to solve this concern and ensure you never have to face the awful feeling of lost sales ever again.
The team at Prospress have released Robot Ninja – an automated testing tool which poses as a visitor and runs through your WooCommerce store’s checkout process, using your real products and (if you want it to) even real payment methods.
Best of all, it’s super affordable! They offer a free option which checks the shop, product and cart pages of your store on a weekly basis. If you’d like a little more peace of mind and a more thorough check-up, you can opt for their Standard plan ($9 USD per month) which allows you to monitor unlimited stores, as well as checking the entire checkout process using either staging or real payment methods.
While you’re at it, it’s also important to ensure you’re using the most appropriate hosting plan for your e-commerce website. As your store grows, your hosting plan will need to scale with it, to ensure there is enough grunt to serve your website to your increasing traffic levels without it becoming sluggish – or worst of all, crashing under the load.
Our Solutions Specialists are always on-hand to assist you in determining if you are on the correct hosting plan to suit the resource requirements of your individual website.
Simply fill out the form below if you’d like a complimentary Hosting Check-Up. One of our Solutions Specialists will then jump in to check your website’s current resource usage, and report back to you on whether or not you’re on the most optimal hosting plan for your individual website’s needs.
