WordPress Speed Optimization

We find exactly what is slowing your site down and fix it — better Core Web Vitals, better rankings, more conversions.

Every second a page takes to load costs you visitors, and search engines notice the same thing you do. A typical unoptimised WordPress site is carrying uncompressed images, render-blocking scripts from half-used plugins, and a database that has never been cleaned since launch — any one of which is enough to quietly push load times past what visitors will wait for.

We diagnose exactly what is slowing your specific site down, in order of impact, and fix it — rather than installing a generic caching plugin and calling it done.

What's Included

Every Speed Project Covers This

Core Web Vitals Fixes

Targeted fixes for Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, and Interaction to Next Paint — the metrics Google actually measures.

Caching & CDN Setup

Page and object caching configured correctly for your host, plus a CDN so assets load fast for visitors anywhere in the world.

Image & Asset Optimisation

Images compressed and served in modern formats, with unused CSS and JavaScript trimmed from every page.

Database Cleanup & Query Tuning

Years of post revisions, spam comments, and orphaned data cleared out, with slow queries identified and optimised.

Our Process

How a Speed Project Runs

  1. Performance audit

    We test your site against Core Web Vitals and profile exactly what is contributing most to slow load times.

  2. Fix priority list

    Issues are ranked by impact, so the fixes that will move the needle most happen first, not whatever is easiest.

  3. Implementation on staging

    Caching rules, image optimisation, and database cleanup are applied and tested on a staging copy of your site first.

  4. Verification & handover

    Before-and-after results are measured and shared, so you can see exactly what changed and why.

What Usually Improves

Where Most Sites Are Losing Time

Images

The single biggest source of unnecessary page weight on most WordPress sites

Plugins

Unused or conflicting plugins adding scripts to every page load

Database

Years of accumulated revisions and spam slowing every query

Core Web Vitals are Google's metrics for loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability. They factor into search rankings and, more importantly, directly affect whether visitors stay on your site or leave.

It depends on what is currently slowing the site down. Sites with unoptimised images, no caching, and plugin bloat typically see the largest, most immediate improvements once those are addressed.

Every change is tested on a staging copy of your site before going live, specifically to catch anything that a caching rule or optimisation setting might otherwise break.

We offer both — a one-time optimisation project to fix the current state of your site, and an ongoing plan to keep performance from drifting back down as you add new content and plugins.
