Forcing myself to switch WooCommerce themes on my live site, in production, really helped me get things done faster, after 8 months of procrastination. In a matter of hours I fixed almost all design glitches, reworded the two most important pages (homepage + Business Bloomer Club), enabled subscriptions (!), came up with pricing, optimized the header/footer/sidebar, and cleaned up my custom PHP. Now I feel confident enough (it's never gonna be perfect) and can tackle the next phase: conversion rate optimization. For this, CommerceKit, which comes by default with the Shoptimizer theme, is perfect. Out of the box I can enable Order Bumps, Ajax Search, Countdowns, Waitlists, Wishlists, Cart and Checkout widgets, and more. On top of that, I need to capture email addresses and will restore my free videos and newsletter sign up banners. After that I will be working on performance optimization, especially now that CommerceGurus Turbo has launched commercegurus.com/product/commer… - great timing!

We launched something new recently which we've wanted to build for years. We make Shoptimizer, a WooCommerce theme built around speed. But the same things kept coming up: a fast theme only gets you so far. Bloated CSS/JS, big images, third-party scripts all drag perf scores down.

It's amazing to see early users of our CommerceGurus Turbo performance plugin enjoying what we've built. If you have a WooCommerce store and are struggling with perf I'd love to get you set up - just reply or send a DM.

We've just launched CommerceGurus Turbo - a performance plugin built specifically for WooCommerce. Includes page caching, critical CSS, Cloudflare integration + lots more. If you're into WooCommerce perf, I'd love you to give it a go - DM me and I'll sort out a license

As part of my earlier "how much does a Woo site cost" article, I analyzed 5,000 Woo stores to find out which plugins they use. It's so predictable it's boring, to be honest. 😁 Of course they use Yoast for SEO and WordFence for security. I wrote it all down for you anyway, and added some thoughts in between (because you don't need WordFence). studiowombat.com/blog/plugin-in…
