Our Capabilities
Core Web Vitals Audit & Fix
Comprehensive LCP, FID/INP and CLS audit with prioritised remediation — we identify exactly what is killing your scores and fix it.
Image Optimisation & WebP
Batch conversion to WebP/AVIF, responsive image srcsets, lazy loading implementation and proper width/height attributes to eliminate layout shift.
Caching Strategy
Redis object caching, full-page caching via WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache, browser caching headers, and Varnish configuration for enterprise sites.
Database Optimisation
WordPress database cleanup — remove post revisions, transients, spam comments — plus slow query analysis and indexing for large tables.
CDN Setup & Configuration
Cloudflare or BunnyCDN integration with proper cache rules, asset minification, HTTP/2 push, and edge caching for global audiences.
Plugin Audit & Cleanup
We audit every installed plugin for performance impact, identify conflicts and bloat, replace heavy plugins with lightweight alternatives.
How We Work
Speed Audit & Baseline
We run comprehensive speed tests (Lighthouse, WebPageTest, GTmetrix) across multiple pages and devices to establish a performance baseline and identify the biggest impact fixes.
Fix Prioritisation
All findings are ranked by potential performance gain vs implementation effort. We focus on the 20% of fixes that deliver 80% of the performance improvement first.
Implementation
Systematic implementation of fixes on a staging environment — image optimisation, caching, code minification, render-blocking resource elimination, font optimisation and more.
Verify & Monitor
Post-implementation testing across devices and real user scenarios, Core Web Vitals verification, and ongoing monitoring setup with alerts for performance regressions.
