Hosting matters more than you think
A site hosted on a cheap shared server in another continent can add a second or more before the first byte arrives. We review where your site is hosted, whether a CDN with a nearby edge location would help, and how the server is configured.
Speed without breaking things
Aggressive optimisation plugins often break menus, forms or checkout. We test every change on a staging copy first.
Questions about speed and core web vitals
Does speed really affect rankings?
Core Web Vitals are a ranking signal, but a modest one. The bigger effect is on visitors: faster sites keep more of them and convert more of them.
Will you need access to my hosting?
For the best results, yes. Many speed problems are at the server level and cannot be fixed from inside WordPress.
