WPForge is the WordPress engineering and publishing arm of DEVDIY, a WordPress and WooCommerce development brand owned by Beijing Internet Shangtong Technology Co., Ltd., a global e-commerce technology group also operating Shangdatong and the Shopify-focused studio DEVDIY.
The DEVDIY brand group

- DEVDIY — custom WordPress & Shopify cross-border store development.
- Cireni — AI website diagnosis tool for cross-border site selection.
- MPForge — WeChat Mini Program & Official Account development.
- WPWork (wordpress.work) — WordPress technical knowledge base for independent site operators.
For global merchants
- DEVDIY (devdiy.com) — Shopify custom themes, AI application subscriptions and international website development.
- WPForge (shopaiwp.com) — WordPress & WooCommerce development, speed optimization and custom builds for overseas markets.
Who writes WPForge
Every guide on this site is written by engineers who do the work daily: building WooCommerce stores, rescuing slow WordPress sites, running zero-downtime migrations, and auditing themes and plugins for real merchants. We are not a content farm and we do not republish affiliate-laced listicles. When we recommend a theme or plugin, it is because we shipped a project with it — and when something broke, we write that down too.
What we cover
- Theme reviews and comparisons — tested on real hosting, with real page builders, measured with Core Web Vitals.
- Plugin comparisons and troubleshooting — including the conflicts and edge cases vendors leave out of their docs.
- Speed and Core Web Vitals — from shared-hosting budgets to full stacks, with before/after numbers.
- Migrations and site building — checklists we actually run during client migrations, rollback plans included.
Editorial standards
Each piece goes through a fixed process: hands-on testing first, drafting second, a fact-check pass on every specific claim, and a final read for accuracy and usefulness. We date our testing, update posts when the tools change, and correct mistakes openly. Articles are maintained by the WPForge Editorial Team.
Work with us
Beyond publishing, the same team takes on client projects: WooCommerce development, WordPress speed optimization, migrations, and custom development. Start with a free WordPress site audit or contact us directly.
Team credentials
The WPForge editorial team is the same group that ships client work through DEVDIY: 10+ years of combined WordPress and WooCommerce delivery, hundreds of audited themes and plugins, and production experience across shared hosting, managed WordPress, Nginx/LiteSpeed stacks and headless builds.
- Store builds — WooCommerce catalogs, checkout funnels, payment and shipping integrations (Stripe, PayPal, Alipay) for cross-border merchants.
- Speed rescues — Core Web Vitals repairs measured on real devices; typical outcomes move LCP from 4s+ to under 1.5s.
- Zero-downtime migrations — host-to-host moves with staging-first workflows, full redirect maps and rollback plans.
- Security & site rescue — malware cleanup, hardened wp-admin, broken-update recovery with documented post-incident notes.
WPForge is a sub-brand of DEVDIY. DEVDIY belongs to Beijing Internet Shangtong Technology Co., Ltd., the legal entity behind the Shangdatong e-commerce group.
