We make WordPress websites lightning fast
Core Web Vitals fixed properly, without changing how your site looks — not just told “that’s as fast as it gets.”
Making WordPress websites faster since 2006
Our WordPress speed optimisation service has been developed around many years of experience working with WordPress. Clients often come to us after their web designer has told them “that’s as fast as it can get,” when the speed and Core Web Vitals are clearly well under par — sometimes they’ve only been shown the desktop speed (which is the easy part) while mobile speed lags well behind. Without changing the appearance of your site, we consistently prove that wrong.

Speed work sits alongside full WordPress SEO, not apart from it.
Why is website speed important?
Page speed has been a factor in search results for years, and Google has made clear it matters more, not less, over time. Their Core Web Vitals became a major ranking factor back in May 2021, and remain one today. There are currently six metrics involved: First Contentful Paint, Speed Index, Largest Contentful Paint, Time to Interactive, Total Blocking Time, and Cumulative Layout Shift.
We consider this a good thing, because it focuses on real user experience — websites loading quickly regardless of what device someone’s viewing them on. Since Core Web Vitals became a ranking factor, there have been clear winners and losers, and we want our clients in the winning camp.

An example of a happy client
Hedgeworx — a specialist tree nursery
Their website is very image–heavy, with galleries on most pages and lengthy, high–quality videos that run on page load on several pages, including the homepage. It would obviously be faster without the video and quite so many images — but the homepage score on both mobile and desktop is better than 90 on PageSpeed Insights, with most other pages similar.

In a word, yes. There’s nothing stopping anyone accessing the tools we use — many of them, particularly the testing sites, are free. There are others we pay for, but there are alternatives that are almost as good and cost nothing, and we’ve linked several of them above.
The main factor is time. You’d need to learn how to use the various tools — configuring them, understanding the data, and learning what actually impacts Core Web Vitals. Then you need to know what to do when the obvious fix doesn’t work, or worse, breaks your website. We’ve been using these tools for years and know exactly where to go to fix particular issues — there are thousands of hours of learning and practical experience behind that.
If you’d rather not spend that time and frustration finding out the hard way, see current pricing for day-rate and one-off technical work, or just get in touch and we’ll quote for your specific site.
Some of the fixes we typically apply
If you don’t understand everything on that list, that’s fine — just leave it to us. Not every website needs every one of these, and results always depend partly on the speed of your hosting.
