Context
Maison de Bacon is an emblematic table of the French Riviera. Its bilingual FR / EN WordPress site carried years of successive additions: a dated visual identity, a menu that had become unreadable, and an accumulation of plugins weighing on every page load.
The problem
For a restaurant of this reputation, the website is the first dining room: it's where the guest decides to book. A slow, dated site costs reservations, silently. And on WordPress, slowness almost always has the same cause: too many plugins, a misconfigured cache, oversized images.
The solution
On the design side, a complete redesign in Elementor: a rethought homepage, a dedicated terracotta identity for the Roof Top, a restructured mega-menu that reads clearly again, verified Zenchef reviews, and a fixed booking button present on every page, in French and in English. On the performance side, an audit followed by its remediation: the plugin count went from 41 to 17, the WP Rocket cache was set right, and images are now compressed and converted to WebP automatically on upload.
The stack
WordPress, Elementor, WP Rocket, Zenchef. No forced technical rebuild: the client keeps the tool their team knows how to use, stripped of what was slowing it down.
Results
A site that finally looks like the house it represents, with booking within reach on every page. And numbers to prove it: Lighthouse scores, all in the 60s before the work, now all sit in the high 90s.
