UK WooCommerce + WordPress operators — page speed, payment gateway choice, plugin sprawl, custom checkout — without an agency on retainer.
UK WooCommerce + WordPress operators — page speed, payment gateway choice, plugin sprawl, custom checkout — without an agency on retainer.
WP Rocket, NGINX micro-cache, image pipeline through Cloudflare. The theme stops fighting the plugins, the plugins stop fighting the host, the page actually loads.
Most WooCommerce stores carry sixty plugins where ten would do. We audit every active plugin, kill the abandoned ones, replace the heavy ones with custom code.
Multi-gateway routing on currency, region, or method. Stripe for cards, GoCardless for direct debit, Mollie for SEPA — all live, all reconciled, no per-gateway plugin lock-in.
WooCommerce Subscriptions tuned to retry the right way, dunning emails that don't read like spam, stock synced across stores and warehouses.
Tickets triaged on intent, order-status auto-replies, AI drafts on low-risk queries, escalation only when the owner has set the rule.
Every product description, every photo guideline, every supplier MOQ — indexed and queryable. New copywriters and freelance photographers productive on day one.
A four-store UK WooCommerce retailer ran on a shared host with thirty-eight plugins per store and a 2.4s average page load. Bounce was up six points YoY, conversion was sliding. Four-week build: WP Rocket + NGINX cache layer added, plugin count cut by half, Cloudflare image pipeline switched on, payment gateway split across Stripe and GoCardless. Six months in: page load 0.8s, conversion +18%, bounce back to baseline, plugin count holding.
How we measure: Page-load measured via Lighthouse and real-user monitoring on the four stores' top-ten landing pages, six-week pre and post window; conversion measured session-to-completed-checkout, six-month rolling; bounce from GA4.
