Speed audits and fixes

Website speed optimization services for WordPress and WooCommerce.

Real diagnostics, a prioritized fix list and the implementation if you want it. We find what is actually slowing your site down, then fix it in the order that matters.

What We Check

Measure first,
then fix.

Most speed advice starts with a caching plugin. We start with measurement, because caching hides problems instead of fixing them.

📊

Baseline measurement

TTFB, Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift, tested from a location near your audience.

🖥️

Hosting and PHP

Server response, PHP version, OPcache and server location.

🔌

Plugin audit

Finding plugins that slow page generation and replacing or removing them.

🖼️

Image pipeline

Modern formats, correct sizes and proper loading of above-the-fold images.

🗄️

Database cleanup

Revisions, transients and bloated autoloaded options.

⚡

Caching and CDN

Page, object and browser caching, plus a CDN, added once the foundation is fixed.

FAQ

Speed optimization questions.

What happens in a speed audit?

We measure your baseline, then check hosting, plugins, images, the database, render-blocking resources and caching, and give you a prioritized list of fixes.

Will you fix the problems or only report them?

Both, if you want. You get the diagnostics and a prioritized fix list, and we can implement the fixes for you.

Do you work on WooCommerce sites too?

Yes. We run performance audits on both WordPress and WooCommerce sites, including object caching, which matters most where page caching is bypassed.
