WordPress Speed Optimisation Service

A faster WordPress site, done properly.

Caching, CDN, image optimisation, and code-level fixes for a slow WordPress website — not just a speed plugin installed and crossed fingers.

✓ Core Web Vitals focus ✓ CDN setup where appropriate ✓ Image optimisation ✓ Code-level fixes, not just plugins
Is your site suffering from any of these?
Google PageSpeed score under 60
Pages taking over 3 seconds to load
No CDN — all traffic hitting your origin server
Images served at full resolution with no compression
Core Web Vitals failing in Google Search Console
A speed plugin installed but not actually configured
How it works

What we actually do.

01
Baseline audit

We run a full performance audit before touching anything.

  • PageSpeed + GTmetrix run
  • Core Web Vitals captured
  • Bottlenecks identified
02
Server caching

Caching configured at the server level for maximum performance.

  • Object cache configured
  • Page cache rules set
  • CDN routing where applicable
03
Asset optimisation

Images, CSS, and JS minified, compressed, and deferred where safe.

  • Image WebP conversion
  • JS/CSS minification
  • Render-blocking removed
04
Verify & report

Scores re-run and compared against baseline. Results in your report.

  • Before/after scores
  • CWV pass confirmation
  • Summary of changes made
What's included

Everything in your plan.

Server-side caching

Page and object caching configured at the server level for maximum speed.

CDN configuration

Where your hosting setup supports it, we configure CDN routing for static assets to improve load times globally.

Image optimisation

WebP conversion, lazy loading, and compression — serving the right size image every time.

JS/CSS minification

Unused code removed, files minified and combined to reduce render-blocking.

Core Web Vitals monitoring

LCP, CLS, and FID tracked monthly — we'll catch regressions before Google does.

Before & after audit

Full performance audit run before and after optimisation — so you can see exactly what changed and by how much.

Get your site faster

Scoped and quoted up front.

Get it done as a one-off — scoped and quoted before we start, no plan required. Or put it on a care plan and we keep things running well going forward.

Want it ongoing?

A care plan includes Core Web Vitals monitoring and performance checks as standard. If your scores regress after a plugin update or theme change, we catch it.

Move onto a plan within 30 days and your optimisation cost comes off your first month.

Questions

Straight answers.

It depends on your theme and content. Most sites we work on reach 80–95 on mobile after a full optimisation pass. We'll show you the before and after scores so you can see exactly what changed.

We test all changes on staging first. Some aggressive optimisations (like JS deferral) can occasionally break functionality — we always test before applying to live.

CDN setup isn't included as standard, but we can configure one where your hosting setup supports it. We'll advise during the initial audit whether a CDN would make a meaningful difference for your site.

WooCommerce needs special caching rules (cart, checkout, and account pages must be excluded). We handle this correctly — generic speed plugins often misconfigure this and break the checkout.

We run a full audit as part of the initial optimisation work. After that, if you notice a slowdown or something changes on your site, we're happy to take another look — just raise it with us.
