Removed 12 plugins and switched to Elementor Pro with 4shine.nl

Curious what Woosa can do for your WooCommerce store?

4shine.nl was running into major performance and usability issues. Their previous WordPress theme relied heavily on 12 separate plugins just to function properly. Every small changed required multiple updates, plugin maintenance and risked breaking the layout or user experience. The site was slow, hard to manage and difficult to scale.

This plugin overload wasn’t just affecting performance,it was directly impacting usability and conversion. That’s when 4shine.nl turned to Woosa for a solution.

The solution

Our approach was simplebut effective:

  • Strip out the bloat.
  • Rebuild only what’s needed.
  • Focus on performance, stability and ease of use.

We migrated 4shine.nl to Elementor Pro, allowing us to rebuild the entire front-end with clean, optimized code and minimal dependencies. With Elementor Pro’s native features, we were able to replace the functionality of all 12 plugins, without adding new ones.

What we did

  • Rebuild all pages using Elementor Pro
  • Eliminated 12 unnecessary plugins
  • Cleaned up the WordPress backend for faster admin experience
  • Improved mobile responsiveness and frontend design consistency
  • Optimized database and enabled caching

The results: smoother, faster and simpler

The difference was night and day:

  • Loading time decreased by 42%
  • Mobile usability significantly improved
  • PageSpeed Insights score:
    • Before: Mobile 65 / Desktop: 86
    • After: Mobile 86 / Desktop: 98

Even more importantly, the 4shine.nl team can now manage the website themselves, without relying on developers for every minor change.

A sustainable future

By moving away from a patchwork of plugins and embracing scalable, streamlined structure, 4shine.nl now has a site that supports their growth, instead of slowing it down.

They’re back in control, running a lean and high-performing WooCommerce store with confidence.
