🧩 A Minimalist WordPress Setup

If you’re tired of slow, bloated WordPress installs, here’s a workflow to get a lightweight, fast, and manageable WordPress environment up and running with LocalWP, Superblank, and the LSX Theme. Bonus: WooCommerce works perfectly in this setup without dragging in unnecessary bloat. 🛒💨

Why LocalWP?

LocalWP makes spinning up WordPress sites a breeze. Automatic WordPress installs, WP-CLI, SSH access, Live Links, MagicSync - it’s all handled. You just build. No server headaches. 💻✨

Step-by-Step Minimal Setup

1. Install LocalWP → Create a fresh WordPress site in seconds. ⏱️
2. Use Superblank → Reset your WordPress template to a clean slate. 🧹
3. Uninstall unnecessary extensions → Keep things lightweight by removing extras you don’t need. ❌
4. Install the LSX Theme → A no-javaScript alternative to heavy builders like Elementor. Fast, lean, and easy to maintain. 🏎️💨

Bonus: WooCommerce 🛍️

WooCommerce works beautifully with LSX. Minimal plugins + clean theme = faster pages, easier management, and less clutter. Just sudo dnf install for any server-side dependencies if needed, then configure WooCommerce as usual. Your store will run lean and smooth. 🚀

This setup is perfect for prototyping, small sites, learning WordPress, or running a simple WooCommerce store.
