The WordPress Problem

Stazon Roofing has been one of Dallas's most trusted roofing companies since 1980. GAF Master Elite certified. A+ BBB rating. Four decades of reputation built the hard way.

But their WordPress site had accumulated years of technical debt — plugins stacked on plugins, render-blocking scripts, and a homepage that made you scroll past a full-screen logo before seeing any content.

How WordPress Sites Accumulate Debt

WordPress powers over 40% of the web, and for good reason — it's flexible, familiar, and has a plugin for everything. But "a plugin for everything" is exactly the problem.

Each plugin adds its own CSS, JavaScript, and HTTP requests. A contact form plugin loads its assets on every page, not just the contact page. A slider plugin adds 200KB of JavaScript whether you use it or not. Over time, a site that started lean becomes bloated — not because anyone made a bad decision, but because each small addition seemed harmless.

Still WordPress — Just Rebuilt Right

We didn't abandon WordPress. We rebuilt it lean. The demo site is still WordPress — but with a custom theme that loads only what each page needs, optimized images, and minimal plugin dependencies.

  • Custom lightweight theme — no page builder bloat
  • Plugins reduced to essentials — security, SEO, caching
  • Modern responsive design — mobile-first, clean typography
  • All business content preserved — same services, same certifications, same story
