Why WooCommerce stores struggle
WooCommerce is fast. Most builds are not.
The platform is not the problem. Heavy themes, too many plugins and rushed builds are.
Mobile page load
Example
HTML
Fonts
Hero image
Plugin scripts
Plugin bloat
Dozens of plugins slow every page and break on updates.
Heavy themes
Do-everything themes load code you never use.
Weak checkout
Default checkout with too many fields.
No SEO base
Duplicate pages and missing schema from day one.
