WordPress Speed Optimization

WordPress speed optimisation with real before-and-after numbers

A caching plugin is where most speed work starts and stops. It hides the problem on the first load and does nothing for the underlying cause. I audit what's actually slow, fix it, and show you the difference in measured field data.

What's included

  • Full speed audit with prioritised findings
  • CSS and JavaScript optimisation and deferral
  • Image compression, sizing and modern formats
  • Database cleanup and query optimisation
  • Caching, object caching and CDN configuration
  • Plugin bloat audit and removal

Why it matters

Core Web Vitals are a real ranking signal and a much bigger factor in conversion. Slow pages lose visitors before the content ever loads, and mobile users on poor connections are the first to leave.

Working with me

Audit first, always

Nothing gets quoted before I've looked at what exists. You get a written scope with what I'd change, what I'd leave alone, and why.

FAQ

Common questions

What kind of improvement should I expect?
It depends entirely on the starting point. Sites that have never been optimised usually see load time cut by more than half. I give an estimate after the audit, not before.
Will you change how the site looks?
No. Speed work is structural. If a genuine improvement requires a visible change, I'll ask first.
Do you optimise for mobile specifically?
Yes — mobile is where Core Web Vitals scores are usually worst and where most of the traffic is.
