There’s one problem with Gravatars. They are very slow to load. Each page with comments on them makes one call per comment to the Gravatar server. While a single call takes only a 100ms, on a page with hundreds of comments, we are talking about major slowdowns. Page loads can take 20 seconds and more.
This plugin solves this problem by:
<ul>
<li>
caching gravatars with WordPress cron job..
</li>
<li>
caching gravatars on comment submission
</li>
<li>
maintaining a single copy of the default gravatar instead of downloading it again and again for all the email addresses with no gravatar associtated
</li>
</ul>

Your WooCommerce customers are faceless. Reviews come from anonymous silhouettes, the My Account dashboard greets returning shoppers with a generic placeholder, and every account in your store feels like a transaction instead of a person. Faceless reviews are trusted less, and anonymous accounts give your customers no reason to feel connected to your brand.
Advanced User Avatar gives every WooCommerce customer a real profile photo, uploaded from their device in seconds. The avatar appears in the WooCommerce My Account dashboard and on the Account Details page automatically. For BuddyPress communities, it replaces the default avatar uploader with a faster, friendlier flow. For any other WordPress site, drop the avatar uploader anywhere using a shortcode or the Gutenberg block.

<h4>No Gravatar, no external data sharing</h4>
Gravatar sends a hash of every visitor’s email address to an external server to fetch their photo. For EU stores and any site under GDPR scope, that third-party request is a compliance question your legal team would rather not answer. Advanced User Avatar stores every photo on your own server. No outbound requests, no hashed emails leaving your site, no third-party dependency.
Install the plugin and give your customers a face on your store.
