WooCommerce is Killing
Your Page Speed.
RC:Storefront is India's best self-hosted WooCommerce alternative — no plugins, no PHP, no WordPress. A clean headless e-commerce platform that actually loads fast and keeps your data on your own server.
The average Indian WooCommerce store runs 20+ plugins. Each one adds load time, maintenance overhead, and a security surface. There's a better way.
The WooCommerce Problem for Indian Brands
WooCommerce works until it doesn't. Every plugin you add is technical debt you'll pay later.
Plugins destroy Core Web Vitals
20+ plugins = 20+ extra scripts on every page. Google's LCP, FCP, and CLS scores tank. Your SEO rankings follow. Indian mobile users on 4G don't wait 4 seconds for a store to load.
WordPress is a security liability
WordPress powers 43% of the web — which makes it the world's biggest attack target. Every plugin is a potential CVE. Every update is a potential breaking change. This is not a stack you should run a ₹10Cr/year brand on.
Plugin licence fees compound fast
Payment gateway plugin: ₹8,000/year. SEO plugin: ₹6,000/year. Inventory sync: ₹12,000/year. Shipping: ₹7,000/year. You're paying ₹1 lakh+ per year just to have a functional WooCommerce store.
Multi-store is an operational nightmare
Running 3 brands on WooCommerce means 3 separate WordPress installations, 3 sets of plugin licences, 3 update cycles, and 3 security surfaces to manage. RC:Storefront runs all three from a single deployment.
RC:Storefront vs WooCommerce
No plugin required to see the difference.
A Stack You'll Actually Be Proud Of
Next.js. Node.js. Prisma. MySQL. No PHP. No WordPress. No plugins.
Sub-second page loads
Pure server-side rendered HTML on every request. No client-side JavaScript framework hydration. Your store loads fast on Indian 4G.
No WordPress attack surface
Built on Node.js and Next.js — not PHP. Zero exposure to the thousands of CVEs published against WordPress and WooCommerce plugins each year.
Multi-tenant by design
Run 10 brands from one deployment. Each with their own domain, products, and customer data — fully isolated, zero cross-contamination.
Your server, your rules
Deploy on any VPS. CyberPanel, Nginx, PM2 — the stack your team already knows. Scale independently. No shared server surprises during peak sales.
SEO-first architecture
Server-side rendered HTML means every product page is instantly crawlable. No JavaScript required to see your content. Perfect Lighthouse scores out of the box.
Native RC:OMS sync
Orders from your storefront flow directly into the RC:OMS double-entry ledger — real-time inventory sync across Amazon, Flipkart, and all your channels.
