What We Fix

Every engagement covers these six areas.

Performance optimisation is not a single fix. It's a structured process that improves multiple layers of your WordPress website.
Image Optimisation
All images converted to modern formats, resized correctly, and delivered at the appropriate dimensions. Lazy loading and next-generation image delivery applied throughout.
Caching Configuration
Caching configured across the website to reduce load times, improve repeat visits, and deliver content more efficiently.
CSS & JS Optimisation
Render-blocking resources reduced. CSS and JavaScript optimised, combined where appropriate, and deferred to improve loading performance.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) reviewed and improved to meet modern performance standards.
Database Optimisation
Unused data removed, database tables optimised, and background processes reviewed to improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary overhead.
Hosting & Server Review
Server configuration, response times, and hosting environment reviewed. Recommendations provided where infrastructure is limiting performance.
Our Process

How a performance engagement works.

Four stages from audit to final report. Every change is tested, measured, and documented.
1
Audit
Full PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals audit run across desktop and mobile. Every issue documented with severity.
2
Staging Fix

3
QA & Verify
Site checked across browsers and devices to ensure nothing broke. PageSpeed rescored to confirm improvement.
4
Deploy & Report
Optimisations pushed to production. Full before/after report delivered with scores, changes made, and recommendations.
Performance Questions

Common questions answered.

90+ on mobile is the target. Google's threshold for a "good" PageSpeed score is 90. We focus on mobile performance because that's where most speed issues are experienced and where optimisation has the greatest impact.

No. Performance optimisation works behind the scenes through caching, image optimisation, and code improvements. Your website will look and function the same. All changes are tested before going live.

Yes. Core Web Vitals are one of Google's confirmed ranking signals. While rankings depend on many factors, improving site speed and user experience can support SEO performance. Faster websites also tend to keep visitors engaged for longer and reduce bounce rates.

We aim for a 90+ mobile PageSpeed score wherever possible. Some websites have technical limitations that affect the final result. We'll assess your site first and give you an honest view of what's achievable before any work begins.

Performance can change over time as new plugins are added, content grows, and images are uploaded without optimisation. Ongoing monitoring and regular maintenance are the most effective way to maintain performance improvements long-term.
