WordPress Speed and Core Web Vitals Optimisation
A slow site loses visitors before they see your offer, especially on mobile data. We find what is slowing your WordPress site down and fix it at the source: hosting and caching, images, fonts, layout shift and heavy scripts. Then we make sure the SEO basics are set up properly too.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is my WordPress site slow?
Common causes are missing or misconfigured caching, large images, too many fonts and scripts, heavy sliders and plugins, and slow hosting.
What are Core Web Vitals?
They are Google measurements of loading speed, responsiveness and visual stability (layout shift) on real visits.
Will speed optimisation break my site?
We apply changes carefully, test them and keep a backup so anything can be rolled back.
How much does speed optimisation cost?
It depends on the site. Contact us for a quote after a quick review.
Can you speed up a WooCommerce shop?
