What exactly does Mamba do?

Mamba is a performance plugin built specifically for WooCommerce stores. Its purpose is simple: make your store load faster, handle more visitors, and stay reliable under heavy traffic. It does this by combining smart caching, performance optimization, and seamless integration with WooCommerce’s unique behavior.

Here’s what Mamba actually does under the hood:

1. Page Caching for WooCommerce

Mamba stores static versions of your product, category, and shop pages. Instead of regenerating these pages on every request, they’re served instantly from cache. This reduces server load and makes browsing your store feel much faster. Pages that should never be cached (like cart, checkout, account, or logged-in areas) are automatically excluded.

2. Store API Caching

Modern WooCommerce stores rely heavily on the Store API (used by product grids, filters, carts, and checkout blocks). Mamba adds a dedicated caching layer for this API:

  • Catalog data is cached for longer periods.
  • Cart and checkout data use a very short micro-cache (seconds) to stay accurate while still reducing load.
    This is something generic caching plugins don’t handle well, but Mamba is designed for it.

3. Smart Invalidation

Whenever products, prices, stock, or sales change, Mamba knows which cache entries to clear. Instead of bluntly purging everything, it surgically invalidates only the affected products, categories, and related Store API responses. This keeps caches warm and performance stable, even as your store content changes.

4. Background Warmup

After cache is cleared, Mamba automatically “warms up” pages in the background. It crawls your store and regenerates cached versions of products and categories so visitors never hit a slow page.

5. CDN Integration

Mamba can connect to services like Cloudflare and BunnyCDN. When your store cache is cleared, Mamba also tells your CDN to purge the same content, keeping everything in sync from your server to the edge.

6. Media Optimization

To speed up product images, Mamba can compress and convert them to WebP format. It also adds optimizations for Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) by prioritizing critical images, making your store score better on performance tests.

7. Database Cleanup

WooCommerce creates a lot of temporary data (sessions, transients, logs). Mamba includes safe cleanup tools that remove expired or orphaned entries, keeping your database lean and efficient.

8. WooCommerce-Specific Tweaks

Mamba can disable unnecessary WooCommerce bloat like unused scripts, notices, and marketplace suggestions. These small adjustments reduce overhead and keep your site running smoothly.


In short

Mamba isn’t just a page cache — it’s a WooCommerce performance suite. It accelerates page loads, optimizes the Store API, handles cache invalidation correctly, integrates with CDNs, optimizes images, and keeps your database tidy. The result: a faster, more reliable WooCommerce store that can scale with your business.
