What it does

WT Catalog Tools for WooCommerce is a small set of UX improvements for the WooCommerce admin. Built modular — every module can be toggled in the settings, every module is independent.

Made for daily WooCommerce work, especially on large catalogs (tested on a store with 41,492 products). No external APIs, no telemetry, no PRO version.

Modules

🖼 Product list thumbnails

Configurable size: 40 / 56 / 64 / 80 / 100 / 120 px
Optional hover zoom showing a medium-size preview next to the row
Customizable preview size (120–480 px)
Active only on the Products screen — does not pollute other admin pages

⚡ Lazy-load admin tables

Forces loading="lazy", decoding="async", fetchpriority="low"
Applies to Products / Orders / Posts / Media tables
Drastically reduces page-load time on large catalogs
IntersectionObserver fallback for legacy browsers

More modules planned: sticky table headers, status badges, quick-edit enhancements, keyboard shortcuts. Suggestions welcome.
