WooCommerce shop pagination appears automatically when products exceed one page. To edit it, first go to WordPress → Settings → Reading and change “Blog pages show at most” to control products per page on archives. If your theme uses a custom product loop, check Appearance → Customize → WooCommerce for “Products per row” and “Rows per page” options. For more control, use a plugin like “WooCommerce Products Per Page” or add custom code to set products per page and pagination style. Finally, clear cache and test category pages and search results.

Yes, WordPress allows self-hosting through WordPress.org, which is the free, open-source WordPress software you install on your own web hosting. With self-hosting, you control your domain, server, files, database, themes, and plugins, and you can customize the site without platform restrictions. You can build blogs, business sites, membership sites, or WooCommerce stores, and you can move to another host anytime. You are responsible for updates, backups, security, and performance, but many hosts provide tools to make this easier. WordPress.com is different and is a hosted service, but it also supports a migration path.

To speed up WooCommerce, start with better hosting and updated PHP (8.1/8.2) plus enough memory. Add full-page caching for non-cart pages, then exclude cart, checkout, and my account. Enable object cache (Redis/Memcached) and a CDN for static files. Compress and resize images, use WebP, and lazy load. Remove unused plugins, replace heavy ones, and keep theme lightweight. Minify CSS/JS carefully and delay non-critical scripts. Clean the database, limit post revisions, and optimize autoloaded options. Reduce product variations if possible. Monitor slow queries, fix them, and use a staging site to test changes safely.
