★★★★★ 5.0 on GoogleA slow website puts visitors off before they have read a word. On WordPress the cause is usually large images, too many plugins, missing caching or underpowered hosting.
Why speed matters
People on phones give a page a few seconds before going back to Google and picking someone else. Google also uses page speed as one of its signals, so a slow site can lose you both visitors and rankings. The good news is that most slow WordPress sites can be made noticeably faster without a rebuild.
What we look at
- Page weight and images. Photos uploaded straight from a camera or phone are often ten times bigger than they need to be.
- Plugins and theme. Each plugin adds code to every page. Old or overlapping plugins are a common cause of slow sites.
- Caching. Without it, WordPress rebuilds every page from scratch for every visitor.
- Hosting. Cheap shared hosting can hold a site back however well it is built.
- Fonts, scripts and third-party embeds such as chat widgets, maps and social feeds that load before your content.
How we can help
Send us your web address and we will tell you what is slowing it down. We test the site on mobile and desktop, explain what we found in plain English and give you a fixed price to fix it. Typical work includes compressing and resizing images, switching to modern image formats, removing or replacing heavy plugins, setting up caching and tidying the code that loads first.
If hosting is the cause, our hosting runs on LiteSpeed servers with integrated caching, and moving to us is free with annual plans. We can also keep the site fast afterwards with a care plan, so updates and new plugins do not slow it down again.
Questions we get asked
Will speeding up my site break anything?
We take a backup first and test changes before they go live. If something does not behave, we roll it back.
How much faster will it be?
It depends on the cause. Sites held back by big images or no caching often improve dramatically. We will tell you what to expect before you agree to anything.
Do I need a new website instead?
Usually not. We only suggest a rebuild if the site is genuinely past saving, and we will explain why.
