Our services

WordPress Speed Optimization — everything included

⚡

Core Web Vitals Optimization

Google's Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) directly impact your search rankings. We diagnose and fix every Core Web Vitals issue to improve both your speed score and your Google rank.

💾

WordPress Caching Setup

Server-level caching, browser caching, object caching with Redis, and page caching configured correctly — often the single biggest speed improvement for any WordPress site.

🖼️

Image Optimization

Bulk compression of existing images, WebP conversion, lazy loading implementation, and correct image sizing — images are typically the #1 cause of slow WordPress sites. See our image optimization guide for the details.

🗄️

Database Optimization

WordPress database cleanup — removing post revisions, spam comments, transients, and orphaned data — plus query optimization for slow database operations. A bloated database is also a common cause of a slow wp-admin dashboard, not just a slow frontend.

📦

Plugin Audit & Cleanup

Too many plugins slow every page load. We audit your plugin stack, remove unnecessary ones, replace bloated plugins with lightweight alternatives, and eliminate render-blocking scripts.

🌍

CDN Implementation

Content delivery network setup routes your static assets (images, CSS, JS) through servers closest to each visitor — dramatically improving load times for visitors outside your primary location.

FAQs

Common questions

What is a good WordPress page speed score?

A Google PageSpeed score of 90+ is excellent. We target load times under 2.5 seconds — in line with Google's own 'good' Core Web Vitals threshold — and 90+ scores on both mobile and desktop. Most sites we optimize see 40–70% speed improvements.

How long does WordPress speed optimization take?

Basic optimization (caching, image compression, plugin cleanup) takes 1–2 days. Full Core Web Vitals optimization with server-level tuning takes 3–5 business days depending on site complexity.

Will speed optimization break my WordPress site?

Not if done properly. We always test every change thoroughly before applying it to your live site. We've never caused permanent damage with a speed optimization.

Is speed optimization a one-time fix?

Initial optimization is a one-time project. However, as you add content and plugins, performance can degrade over time. Our maintenance plans include ongoing performance monitoring to catch and fix slowdowns before they hurt your rankings.
