WordPress speed optimisation
Over 500 WordPress sites optimised since 2018. We do not install a caching plugin and call it done - we find what is actually slow and fix it: database bloat, uncompressed images, heavy plugins, server configuration, Core Web Vitals. Most sites go from 5 to 16 seconds down to under 2.
- Full speed audit before we touch anything
- Image compression & next-gen formats
- Caching, CDN & server response time
- Plugin audit & replacement recommendations
- CSS / JS minification & deferral
- Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) tuning
- Database cleanup & PHP optimisation
- Before & after report
Typically $100 to $1,000 depending on complexity. Most projects land at $300 to $500 (5 to 12 hours work). We audit first, then give you a fixed price - no surprise invoice at the end.
Usually 5 to 6 working days from handover to done. We work on a staging site first so your live site is never at risk.
No. Plugins are part of the toolkit, not the whole job. We do manual fixes - database optimisation, image compression, removing bloat - where plugins cannot help.
Target is under 2 seconds, ideally under 1. Most sites we take on load in 5 to 16 seconds when we start. We will not take the job if the main bottleneck is outside our control - we will tell you upfront.
Yes. To tune PHP, server response time and hosting-level caching we need SFTP and ideally hosting panel access. If you are on a locked shared host, results are more limited and we will tell you before we start.
Yes. WooCommerce adds complexity - cart fragments, dynamic pages - but we have done hundreds of them.
Not always. We optimise on your current host first. If the host is the bottleneck we will tell you honestly and can migrate you if needed.
