Includes page caching, critical CSS, Cloudflare integration + lots more.

A glowing review from a team who cares as much about performance as we do - couldn't ask for more!
We’ve just published a hands-on review of the Search & Filter Pro plugin from @rossmorsali
It was tested on a Shoptimizer store with 1,000 products, we looked at faceted filtering, search, perf, and accessibility.
For any Woo stores with larger catalogs it'd be a great fit.

On Sept 24 I want to close that gap, live, with @jamesckemp, WooCommerce's Core Product Manager.
We pick a real issue and build the fix on screen: planning, coding, testing, AI (of course), code review, and pushing the actual PR: businessbloomer.com/events/t…

Whoa- this is the most fantastic pedagogical tool I’ve encountered in as long as I can remember (which is a helluva high bar, considering who I live with).
I’m so excited to have my 6yo play with it! And you all should too.

We tried something yesterday we should've done years ago. If you run a product business, steal this idea.
We set up a survey in @TallyForms (free plan, since upgraded to Pro - it's fantastic) and emailed customers. What works, what doesn't, and what we should be building next.

We've had 25 responses in the first 24 hours. Already a gold mine of useful data.

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

So we built CommerceGurus Turbo, a performance plugin made specifically for WooCommerce stores. Multi-currency stores stays cached, and the checkout always stays safe. Run a Woo store or build them for clients? DM me and I'll sort you a license.

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.

Sent the first @WombatPlugins newsletter last week, where I round up WooCommerce tips/news. As part of the IconicWP fade-out, I recommended @KestrelWP's CheckoutWC as a replacement for one of their plugins. One person came back to say they loved the tip and will implement! Feels good to know it gets some engagement!
