WT Catalog Tools for WooCommerce

Description

WT Catalog Tools for WooCommerce is a small set of UX improvements for the WooCommerce admin. Built by the webmasters.team crew. Open-source, no external APIs, every module can be toggled in the settings.

Modules

Product list thumbnails – replaces the tiny 40 × 40 product thumbnails on the Products screen with configurable larger previews (40–120 px). Optional hover zoom that shows a medium-size image next to the row.
Lazy-load admin tables – forces loading="lazy", decoding="async" and fetchpriority="low" on every image rendered in the Products / Orders / Posts / Media tables. Drastically reduces page load time on large catalogs (tested on a store with 41,000 products). Includes an IntersectionObserver fallback for legacy browsers.

More modules are planned (sticky table headers, status badges, quick edit enhancements). Suggestions welcome.

What it does NOT do

Does not change the storefront in any way – admin only.
No telemetry, no external services.
No PRO version (yet).

Changelog

1.0.2

Compatibility: declare WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatibility, so the plugin is no longer flagged as incompatible under WooCommerce -> Settings -> Advanced -> Features on stores using custom order tables. The plugin does not touch order storage; this is a declaration only.
Fix: the settings page is shown to users with manage_woocommerce (e.g. Shop Manager), but saving went through the default manage_options capability – so a Shop Manager could open the page yet receive an “insufficient permissions” error on save. Saving now uses the same manage_woocommerce capability as viewing.
Fix: the internal WT_CATALOG_TOOLS_VERSION constant still reported 1.0.0; it now matches the plugin version.

1.0.1

Polish: refined the description of the “Product list thumbnails” module on the Settings screen for clarity – now explicitly mentions the configurable size range (40-120 px) so admins know what to expect before toggling the module on.

1.0.0

First public release.

Module: Product list thumbnails (configurable size + hover zoom).
Module: Lazy-load admin tables (native lazy + IntersectionObserver fallback).
