Make Your WordPress Site Lightning Fast
Get a Speed AuditWhy 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:
How quickly the main content loads
How quickly the page responds to interaction
Visual stability as the page loads
Server response time
