Speed Optimization

Speed isn't
optional. It's a
ranking signal.

Core Web Vitals are now a direct Google ranking factor. A slow WordPress site costs you rankings, users, and revenue every day it stays slow. I fix that - systematically, measurably.

What the work covers

A systematic audit and remediation - not a plugin install.

Speed optimization is not running a plugin and calling it done. It's a layered process from server to browser.

Performance Audit

  • Baseline CWV report (Lighthouse, GTmetrix, WebPageTest)
  • Waterfall analysis - every resource mapped
  • Render-blocking resource identification
  • Server response time (TTFB) diagnosis
  • Real User Metrics (CrUX data) review

Server-Side Optimization

  • Redis object caching setup
  • Full-page caching (NGINX / LiteSpeed)
  • PHP-FPM configuration tuning
  • Database cleanup and query indexing
  • GZIP / Brotli compression

Front-End Optimization

  • Critical CSS extraction and inlining
  • JavaScript defer and async loading
  • CSS/JS minification and bundling
  • Font loading optimization (font-display: swap)
  • Render-blocking resource elimination

Image Optimization

  • WebP conversion for all images
  • Lazy loading implementation
  • Responsive image srcset configuration
  • Image CDN integration (Cloudflare / BunnyCDN)
  • LCP image preloading

CDN & Hosting

  • Cloudflare setup and rules configuration
  • Static asset CDN integration
  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 enablement
  • DNS TTL optimization
  • Hosting upgrade recommendations

Post-Optimization Report

  • Written summary of every change made

FAQ

Common
questions.

Yes - I work to a target score (typically 90+ on mobile) and continue tuning until we reach it. If the score target isn't achievable due to factors outside my control (e.g. third-party scripts you can't remove), I'll be upfront about that before we start.
Not always. Many sites can be significantly improved without touching the theme or changing hosts. I'll audit your current stack and tell you the highest-impact changes first. A server upgrade is only recommended if TTFB is the primary bottleneck and can't be resolved through caching.
I include a 14-day monitoring period after optimization closes. If something changes in that window - a plugin update, a new third-party script, a CMS change - I'll diagnose it at no extra cost. I also provide a written optimization guide so you can avoid introducing the same problems again.
