A slow site loses customers before it even loads.
Every extra second of load time is a visitor who gave up — and a ranking Google quietly hands to a faster competitor. On every care plan, the speed basics are simply included — cache set up, database kept clean and quick, from $149. As a one-off project: send the URL and you’ll have a fixed quote within one business day, with written findings inside the first week of work.
Sound familiar?
- It was fast when it launched. Now it isn’t, and no one knows when that changed.
- You wait for it on your own phone, too.
- Every new feature came with a new plugin.
- Google’s speed test shows red, and the tips make no sense.
- You pay for ads that send people to a page they leave.
Slow creeps in one plugin at a time. Making sites fast again is our everyday work.
A slow site doesn’t stay the same. It gets slower.
-
A plugin here, an add-on there.
Each page gets heavier. One second turns into three.
-
Slow on phones.
People leave before the page shows up. You never see them go.
-
Google sees a slow site.
It puts a faster site above yours in search.
-
Ads that land on a slow page.
You pay for every click — even when the person leaves before the page loads.
Our care plan keeps your site fast and checks its speed every month. We catch it at one second, not three.
Five issues account for most poor scores.
Most slow WordPress sites have the same few problems — and the same fixes.
Render-blocking CSS and JS
From page builders that load every component's stylesheet on every page.
Unoptimized hero images
Usually a 4MB JPEG that should be an 80KB AVIF, with no priority hint on it.
INP killers
Long-running JS handlers from chat widgets, analytics, A/B test scripts, and admin-bar scripts leaking to logged-out visitors.
Layout shifts
From late-loading ads, embeds, and web fonts that arrive after the text has already painted.
Slow server response
Missing object cache, bloated autoload in wp_options, and repeated queries on home and archive templates.
Four lenses, one written report.
Lab and field data
Lighthouse for the lab view, CrUX and Search Console for what real visitors actually experience. Both, not just one.
Plugin and theme weight
Which plugins load on every request, which add the most JS to the front end, and what can be deferred, dequeued, or replaced.
Database health
Autoload bloat, missing indexes, slow queries, transient buildup, post revision sprawl.
Caching topology
Page cache, object cache, edge cache, browser cache. Where each layer is and where it isn't, with a fix list.
Best-of-breed stack, on our licenses.
Nothing here is passed through to your invoice.
- Caching — WP Rocket, Perfmatters, Cloudflare APO for caching and asset control
- Images — ShortPixel, EWWW, or Cloudflare Polish for image pipelines
- Server-side — Query Monitor, New Relic, or Datadog APM for server-side bottlenecks
- Measurement — PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse, WebPageTest, and Chrome UX Report
