Our Mission

About Smooth Plugins

We're on a mission to build affordable software that doesn't compromise on performance or user experience. Whether it's WordPress, web apps, or beyond—if it can be faster and smoother, we're on it.

The One-Person Show

Meet the Team (Spoiler: It's Just Me)

Hi! I'm Sakib Ahamed Shahon, the person behind Smooth Plugins. Software engineer by trade, software artisan by choice (because "engineer" doesn't capture the existential dread of debugging CSS at 2 AM).

Yes, this entire operation is run by one caffeinated human who thinks Rust is a love language and believes WordPress deserves better than "good enough." For now, it's a solo journey—but who knows? Maybe one day I'll have carrier pigeons who actually understand email.

How We Started

Our Story

Smooth Plugins was born from a simple frustration: why does software have to choose between being affordable OR performant OR having a great user experience? Spoiler: it doesn't.

While working with WooCommerce stores that struggled with search performance, I thought: What if we could leverage modern technologies like Rust and WebAssembly to solve problems that have plagued web platforms for years?

The result? Smooth Search—the first WebAssembly-powered search engine for WooCommerce. But that's just the beginning. Smooth Plugins is about bringing high-performance, frictionless experiences to any software that needs it.

What Drives Us

Our Values

⚡ Performance First

Speed isn't a feature, it's a requirement.

💰 Affordable Excellence

High-quality software shouldn't break the bank.

✨ Smooth UX

Frictionless experiences that just work.

What We Use

Technology Stack

🦀
Rust

Memory safety and blazing speed for core search algorithms.

🕸️
WebAssembly

Near-native performance running directly in the browser.

🐘
PHP

Native WordPress integration with zero friction.

The Impact

Why It Matters

Traditional WooCommerce search hits your database on every keystroke. At scale, this crushes performance and increases hosting costs.

By moving computation to the client with WebAssembly, we eliminate server load entirely while delivering search results faster than users can type.

80% Server load reduction
<10ms Average query time
Community Driven

Open Source

We believe in open collaboration. Our code is available on GitHub, and we welcome contributions from developers worldwide.
