Why your site is slow (usually)
Slow WordPress sites almost always come down to a handful of culprits: huge unoptimised images, a page builder loading megabytes of CSS and JavaScript, too many overlapping plugins, no caching, and cheap shared hosting. Google’s Core Web Vitals now factor page speed into rankings, so slowness costs you twice, in lost visitors and in search position.
We start with a proper diagnosis rather than guesswork: we measure real load times, identify the biggest offenders, and give you a clear plan. Then we fix them, image optimisation, caching, code cleanup, database tuning, and hosting improvements where needed.
For most sites we can deliver a dramatic, measurable improvement without a full rebuild. If the site is fundamentally broken, we will tell you honestly.
What we fix
Images & media
Compression, correct sizing, modern formats and lazy loading, usually the biggest single win.
Caching & delivery
Page caching, a CDN, and proper cache headers so repeat loads are instant.
Plugin & code bloat
Remove overlapping plugins and page-builder weight; defer or trim heavy scripts.
Hosting & database
Faster hosting and a cleaned, optimised database when they are holding you back.
Common questions
How much does it cost to speed up my site?
A performance audit and fix typically runs £350–£1,200 depending on the site and what is required. We quote after a quick look.
Will you improve my Core Web Vitals?
Yes, LCP, CLS and INP are exactly what we target, alongside real-world load time.
Do I need a full rebuild?
Usually not. Most slow sites can be dramatically improved as-is. If a rebuild is genuinely the better value, we will say so.
How fast can it be done?
Many performance fixes are completed within a week of getting access.
