Speed
Optimization

Turning slow, sluggish sites into lightning-fast experiences that Google and users love.

Overview

Speed is a feature. A slow site hurts your SEO, increases ad costs, and drives customers away. I perform deep forensic audits of WordPress sites to identify bottlenecks. I don’t just install a caching plugin and call it a day.

I refactor code, optimize database queries, configure server-level caching (Redis/Varnish), set up properly sized image delivery (WebP/AVIF), and ensure your site passes Core Web Vitals with flying colors. I systematically unload unused CSS and JS on a per-page basis to ensure the lightest possible payload.

Technically, I address the Critical Rendering Path. I generate Critical CSS to make the above-the-fold content load instantly, delay non-essential JavaScript execution until user interaction, and fine-tune font loading strategies to prevent layout shifts (CLS).

Common Questions

Is this a one-time fix?
K
L

Yes, but I recommend quarterly checkups as new content and plugins can slow things down over time.

Will optimization break my site's design?
K
L

No. I test all optimizations on a staging site first to ensure visual integrity is maintained before applying to live.

Do you guarantee 100/100 scores?
K
L

I guarantee a significant improvement and 'Green' (90+) scores where technically possible without rewriting the entire theme.

Does this include hosting?
K

No, but if your host is the bottleneck, I will recommend and help you migrate to a faster provider.

What about Cloudflare?
K
