Why WordPress Speed Matters

Page speed isn't just a nice-to-have – it's a critical factor for user experience, search rankings, and conversions. Google uses Core Web Vitals as ranking signals, and users expect pages to load in under 3 seconds.

I specialise in diagnosing WordPress performance issues and implementing the right optimisations to achieve measurable speed improvements. Whether your site is slow because of poor hosting, bloated plugins, or unoptimised assets, I'll find and fix the problems.

Core Web Vitals Targets

Google's metrics for measuring user experience:

LCP
Largest Contentful Paint
< 2.5s

How quickly the main content loads

FID
First Input Delay
< 100ms

How quickly the page responds to interaction

CLS
Cumulative Layout Shift
< 0.1

Visual stability as the page loads

TTFB
Time to First Byte
< 600ms

Server response time
