WordPress website speed optimisation
Every extra second of load time costs you visitors before they’ve seen what you offer.
We audit what is slowing your site down, then fix it in the order that gives the biggest gains first, with before-and-after numbers you can see.

The job of the work
Find what’s slow. Fix the biggest problems first.
A slow site loses people before they read anything, and search engines notice too. Usually the causes are specific: heavy images, too many plugins, slow server response and scripts that block the page from loading.
This works as a standalone job on any WordPress site, ours or not. You don’t need to rebuild the whole thing to fix why it is slow.
What you get
What speed optimisation covers.
01
A full speed audit with benchmarks
We measure the site before we start, so the improvement can be seen afterwards.
02
Image, script and plugin optimisation
We reduce image weight, deal with plugin bloat and sort out render-blocking scripts.
03
Works on existing WordPress sites
It doesn’t matter who built your site.
04
Fixes prioritised by impact
The changes that make the biggest difference come first.
Who it suits
A good fit if this sounds like you.
Your PageSpeed score is low
You have tested your site and the score worries you.
Visitors leave quickly
People arrive, especially on phones, and go before the page has loaded.
You don’t want a full rebuild
The site is otherwise fine, and you want it fixed, not replaced.

Questions
Website speed questions.
Do you work on sites you didn’t build?
Yes. This works as a standalone job on any WordPress site, ours or not.
Do I need a redesign to fix speed?
Usually not. We look for what is slowing the current site down and fix that.
Can you promise a PageSpeed score?
No honest team can promise an exact score, because hosting and your site’s features both play a part. We show you before-and-after numbers so you can see the change.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your site. Send the address through the quote form and we will reply with a real number.
