YITH WooCommerce Compare Premium is the “stop guessing” plugin for catalogs where products are close enough that shoppers need a side‑by‑side table to decide. I use it on stores with lots of specs (electronics, parts, furniture) because it reduces back-and-forth browsing and makes attribute differences obvious in one screen.
It’s also handy when the theme’s product cards are minimal. You keep the grid clean, then let the compare popup/table do the heavy lifting.
How it behaves under the hood (the parts that actually matter)
YITH adds a Compare button (widget/shortcode/hook-based placement) and builds a compare list mostly on the front-end via AJAX + JS. The chosen product IDs are typically kept client-side (cookie/local storage style behavior for guests), so it’s fast and doesn’t hammer the DB just to remember “3 items to compare”.
The “Compare” view is rendered from the plugin’s templates and WooCommerce data:
- Product fields come from Woo (title, price, image, stock, short description).
- Specs are pulled from attributes + meta, which means variable products can look “incomplete” if your theme hides attributes on the product page but they’re not actually filled in at the product level.
Where I edit things in practice:
- Settings live in the WP admin under the YITH menu (YITH plugin panel → Compare).
- Output is mostly template-driven. If you need to tweak markup, you usually do it by overriding the plugin templates in your theme/child theme (YITH provides a standard override pattern; I still do it in a child theme because updates will overwrite direct edits in
/plugins/). - Front-end assets are enqueued as their own scripts/styles; if you run aggressive optimization, these are the first to get mangled.
Where it usually breaks (and the fastest fixes I’ve used)
- Compare popup doesn’t open / button does nothing
Root cause: JS optimization breaks the compare script execution order (delay/defer/minify), or jQuery gets delayed.
Fast fix:
- Open DevTools → Console and click the compare button. If you see
jQuery is not definedor a blocked script, exclude the compare assets from optimization. - In your cache/optimizer plugin (Autoptimize / WP Rocket / LiteSpeed / Perfmatters), exclude typical handles/files like:
yith-woocompare(and anywoocompare/compareJS/CSS the plugin loads)- don’t delay
jquery-coreon pages where the compare button appears
- Then hard refresh and re-test (Network tab: confirm the compare JS is not served as “delayed”).
- Compare table is empty or missing fields
Root cause: the compare page/popup is rendered, but the data source is inconsistent (attributes not set, or theme overrides remove hooks).
Fast fix:
- Check the product: Products → Edit → Attributes (ensure attributes are “Visible on the product page” and actually assigned).
- If your theme heavily customizes single-product hooks, place the button using a shortcode/block instead of relying on the theme hook position.
- It works until caching is enabled, then compare list “forgets” items
Root cause: full-page caching + cookie logic mismatch (guest list stored client-side, cached HTML served without respecting state).
Fast fix:
- Exclude the compare endpoint/popup page from caching or disable “cache HTML” on pages where the compare widget renders state.
- Verify in DevTools → Application that the cookie/storage value updates when you add/remove items.

View in VirusTotalLicensing / activation / updates (plain reality)
This plugin runs without a license key in the sense that the compare feature works once installed. What you lose without activation is the usual YITH stuff: one-click updates, official support, and license-based update delivery.
On my installs (where it’s already activated and verified working), updates come through the normal WP Admin → Updates / Plugins flow. If you ever need to update manually, it’s the standard path: upload the new ZIP (or via SFTP), and never edit the plugin files directly—do template overrides in a child theme, otherwise an update will wipe your changes.
FAQs (only the annoying stuff)
It’s usually placement logic. If you inserted it via a hook position your theme doesn’t call everywhere, switch to a shortcode/block placement for consistent output.
Almost always a CSS collision. Inspect the table container in DevTools and look for theme table styles (table, td, th) overriding widths/padding. Quick fix: add a scoped CSS rule targeting the compare wrapper only.
Yes, from the YITH Compare settings (field toggles). For anything beyond that (custom rows/labels), do it via template override in your child theme.
Because the UX is JS-first (AJAX add/remove + popup/table rendering). If execution order changes, the click handler never binds. Excluding the compare JS from delay is the shortest path to stability.
Answers to common questions!

Yes — 100%. All products are original and distributed under the GNU GPL v2/v3 license.
The main difference compared to purchasing directly from the original author is that we don’t offer additional services such as custom development or one‑on‑one support.
