Behind the Scenes: Building a No-Hassle WordPress Kit
A look at what goes into creating a pre-configured WordPress setup that actually saves you time.
Most WordPress setup kits are just a collection of files with a generic readme. We wanted something better. Here's how we built TryKit.
First, we stripped out bloat. No default themes you'll never use, no sample content. Then we applied performance tweaks that usually require editing .htaccess or wp-config.php manually. Things like gzip compression, caching headers, and security hardening.
We also wrote a setup script that asks you three questions and does the rest. Tested it on five different hosts—Bluehost, SiteGround, Kinsta, and two others—to make sure it works everywhere.
The result? A kit that's lean, tested, and ready to go. We use it ourselves for client projects, which is the real test.
