MyCustomPatches ran on WooCommerce.
We took their PageSpeed from 45 to 90+. Yours is next.
Last year I rebuilt MyCustomPatches for Matt Conner. WooCommerce plugin treadmill to a custom Next.js storefront. 45 to 90+ PageSpeed. 3.2s to 0.7s checkout. Hosting bill from $150 a month to $0. Matt rated it 5 stars on Clutch and GoodFirms. We do the same for your store. You keep Stripe, PayPal, your orders, and your rankings. You drop the plugin bill.
30-min call. Drop your store URL when you book. We run your checkout speed live, calculate your monthly loss, and give you a fixed quote. Best fit for stores doing $50K+/year.

You're paying for plugins that
don't integrate.
You're paying $49/mo for a plugin to sync Stripe. There's a native API that does it for free. You're paying $99/mo for WooCommerce Subscriptions. Stripe handles subscriptions natively with zero markup. You're paying $60/mo to stop spam from your contact form. A 10-line reCAPTCHA does it.
We replace your ACF fields, Yoast meta, WP Rocket caching, Perfmatters tweaks, and LiteSpeed cache layer with native Next.js equivalents. No plugin stack. No Kinsta bill. Every piece lives in your codebase. Nobody tells you this because every WooCommerce plugin vendor depends on the monthly recurring. We're the agency that builds what replaces them. No pitch. Just receipts.

What WooCommerce Operators Are Actually Saying Right Now
Not curated testimonials. Real Reddit threads from r/woocommerce in the last 30 days, including a public admission from a WooCommerce Core team lead and an independent study of 10,000 stores. Click the links to verify every quote.
Plugin fatigue: people mention WooCommerce not working out of the box for their use case, or having to install 30+ plugins and then when something goes wrong, troubleshooting becomes a nightmare. Fear of updating: people are scared that updating might break something. Performance: people mentioning the store becoming sluggish.
I tested 10,000 WooCommerce stores and found they use on average 30 plugins. I think a lot of stores can do a lot with just a handful of Woo plugins. What bothers users: other platforms have features in core that require a plugin with Woo, plugin conflicts and the minefield to navigate it, pricing of these plugins.
I have been developing WordPress and WooCommerce for 5 years. The more I dive deeper I get more and more annoyed and frustrated. Basic features required plugin. Each plugin have its own UI, analytics and more importantly its own bloat. Basic features like variations switches, cart recovery, better analytics. It is a big list. God help you when you decide to change the theme or plugin.
31 plugins. 400,000 sites. 8 months dormant.
Someone bought the Essential Plugin suite on Flippa for six figures, then planted a backdoor in all 31 plugins. The malicious code sat dormant for 8 months before activating on April 5, 2026. The same week, Smart Slider 3 Pro (800,000+ installs) was hijacked and WowShipping Pro got an unauthenticated remote code execution backdoor. WordPress.org permanently closed all 31 Essential Plugins. Already-injected wp-config.php spam must be cleaned manually.
When the WooCommerce Core team lead publicly admits the problem, you know it is structural.
30 plugins on average per store. Plugin fatigue. Fear of updating. Performance bottlenecks. Plus a demonstrated supply-chain attack surface; see our dated write-up of the April 2026 incident for the sourced figures. Custom Next.js stores on Vercel have zero third-party plugins, no auto-update channel an attacker can hijack, and no PHP execution. We migrate WooCommerce stores to headless Next.js with a Shopify, BigCommerce, or Sanity backend, with a 90+ Lighthouse handover target on mobile and desktop for the agreed representative pages, verified across three recorded runs before handover.

Phase 5WooCommerce vs Custom Code
The numbers speak for themselves.
Your Store Is Bleeding Revenue
WooCommerce was built for blogs, not e-commerce at scale. Here's what that costs you.
You're Paying $300 to $700/Month to Run Your Store
Managed WooCommerce hosting (Kinsta, WP Engine): $50 to $200/mo. WooCommerce extensions (subscriptions, bookings, B2B): $50 to $300/yr. Security plugin: $10 to $50/mo. Backups, CDN, caching. It never stops adding up.
Checkout Abandonment Is Killing Your Conversions
Every extra second of load time costs you 7% in conversions. WooCommerce checkouts average 3 to 5 seconds. On a store doing $50K/month, that's $3,500+ in revenue you're leaving on the table every single month.
One Plugin Update Can Take Your Store Offline
Payment gateway plugin conflicts with your theme. WooCommerce updates break your custom checkout. And it always happens on a Saturday during a sale campaign. Every minute offline is orders you never get back.
Your Store Is One Hack Away From Disaster
WooCommerce stores hold payment data, customer addresses, and order history, making them high-value targets. WordPress is the #1 hacked CMS. A static custom coded store has no database to breach and no plugin attack surface.
Google Penalizes Your Slow Checkout Pages
Google's Core Web Vitals directly impact your organic rankings. A WooCommerce site running PHP on shared hosting fails LCP and TTFB benchmarks. Your competitors with faster sites outrank you before a single keyword is written.
You Can't Add Features Without Paying for Yet Another Plugin
Need a pricing calculator? $200/yr plugin. Need a custom B2B portal? Another plugin. Need loyalty points? Another plugin. Each one adds load time, maintenance risk, and another line on your monthly bill. On custom code, we build exactly what you need, once.
Start with evidence. Put the agreement in writing.
Discovery is used to understand the current system, desired outcome, constraints, and dependencies. Scope, commercial terms, targets, support, ownership, and remedies become commitments only when they are stated in accepted written project terms. Those may be a concise quote or order summary accepted in email or chat, or a more detailed agreement for regulated or complex work.
Diagnostic first
We begin with the URL, stack, content, integrations, analytics, and operational constraints. Automated audit output is treated as an estimate to investigate, not proof of revenue loss or a guaranteed business result.
Evidence before outcomes
Performance measurements and project examples are point-in-time references. Any target used for your project should identify the tested pages, tool, date, device profile, run method, exclusions, and acceptance rule in the written scope.
Scope before certainty
The proposal records what is included, what is excluded, required client inputs, dependencies, and how changes are approved.
Targets need a method
If a performance or visibility target is included, its measurement conditions and any agreed response are documented with it.
Terms belong in the proposal
Payment milestones, support coverage, ownership, licenses, handover, and out-of-scope work are confirmed in writing.
What should be documented before work starts
Use the discovery conversation to gather evidence, then rely on the written proposal for commitments.
← Swipe to see more →
| Review area | During discovery | In the written proposal |
|---|---|---|
| Scope and exclusions | Inventory the current system, dependencies, and assumptions | List deliverables, exclusions, responsibilities, and change handling |
| Performance and acceptance | Record a dated baseline and identify client-controlled variables | Define the target, pages, tools, test conditions, and acceptance method |
| Commercial and handover terms | Discuss payment, support, ownership, access, and transition needs | State milestones, support coverage, licenses, handover, and remedies |
If a commercial term, target, or remedy is not in the written project terms accepted by both parties, this page should not be read as creating that commitment.
One update, and the whole web snaps.
A WooCommerce store is not one thing. It is a tangle of plugins from different vendors, each depending on the others to hold the line. When your payment gateway plugin auto-updates, it can break the subscriptions plugin, which breaks the cart, which takes your checkout offline mid-sale. A custom Next.js storefront has no web to snap: every piece of that logic lives inside one codebase we own and test together.

Scope and Commercial Review
Choose a planning path. Confirm the project in writing.
These options organize the discovery conversation; they are not quotes or delivery promises. Final scope, price, timing, acceptance tests, support, ownership, and remedies are stated in the accepted written project terms, which may be a concise quote or order summary or a more detailed agreement.
Before Discovery
Working assumptions
Features, integrations, content, migration risk, and dependencies still need review.
After Discovery
Written proposal
The approved scope records commitments, assumptions, exclusions, milestones, and acceptance.
Scope option
Starter
Requirements for this path are reviewed before any commercial or delivery commitment is made.

Requirements for this path are reviewed before any commercial or delivery commitment is made.
- Deliverables, exclusions, and required client inputs

Scope option
Scale
Requirements for this path are reviewed before any commercial or delivery commitment is made.
- Deliverables, exclusions, and required client inputs
- Dependencies, acceptance method, and change process

Public examples do not replace a quote. Third-party fees, client dependencies, migration risk, and out-of-scope work are identified during discovery and documented in the proposal.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before migrating your store.
A 90+ handover target, measured before you sign off.
Every PandaCodeGen WooCommerce migration carries a 90+ Lighthouse handover target on mobile and desktop for the representative pages named in your written scope, verified across three recorded runs before handover. If we fail to deliver what that written scope promises, the accepted terms set out the refund trigger and cure process. This is a lab acceptance target, not a promise about rankings, revenue, or field Core Web Vitals after third-party changes.
