Speed Optimisation
A website can appear fast during a quick visit while still performing poorly for real users. We analyse Core Web Vitals and detailed performance data to identify where time is being lost, whether that’s at the server, database or frontend.
We look at metrics including LCP, INP, CLS and server response times, then investigate the underlying causes rather than relying on generic caching or surface-level speed tests.
For WordPress and custom applications, this can include database queries, hosting configuration, images, JavaScript, CSS, rendering and third party resources.
Faster Pages, Better Business Results
Our speed optimisation service looks at the technical factors affecting how quickly and reliably your website loads.
We analyse Core Web Vitals and other performance metrics, identify the main bottlenecks and implement targeted improvements. This can include image optimisation, rendering, caching, database queries, server configuration and frontend code. The aim is to improve measurable performance while maintaining the functionality and appearance of your existing website.
What Our Core Web Vitals Service Covers
We look at each performance metric and its underlying causes rather than focusing only on the overall score.
- LCP optimisation: Improving images, rendering and the critical resources affecting the main visible content.
- INP optimisation: Identifying JavaScript and frontend processing that affects responsiveness.
- CLS fixes: Addressing layout shifts caused by images, fonts, embeds, and dynamically loaded content.
- Server response analysis: Investigating TTFB, database queries, hosting and backend processing.
- Performance profiling: Using detailed technical data to identify the areas that need attention.
Why We Profile Instead of Patch
Generic speed fixes can improve a test score without addressing the underlying problem.
We investigate where time is actually being spent, whether that’s a database query, server configuration, JavaScript, images or third-party resources. This allows us to focus development work on the issues that are having the greatest effect on performance.
What You Get
- A detailed performance assessment.
- Core Web Vitals analysis and recommendations.
- Root cause investigation for performance problems.
- Targeted frontend, database or server optimisation.
- Before-and-after measurements where appropriate.
- Changes tested before being introduced to the live website.
The Business Problems This Solves
Slow websites can make browsing, navigation and important interactions more difficult, particularly on mobile devices and slower connections.
Performance problems can also indicate deeper technical issues within the website, such as inefficient queries, excessive JavaScript or poorly configured infrastructure.
By addressing these issues at their source, we can improve the technical performance of the website rather than relying on temporary fixes.
If you’re not sure why your Core Web Vitals are poor or where your website is slowing down, we can investigate the current setup.
Better User Experience
Faster loading and more responsive pages make it easier for users to browse, navigate and interact with your website.
More Stable Pages
Reducing unexpected layout shifts makes pages easier to use, particularly when images, fonts, embeds and interactive elements load progressively.
Better Technical Performance
Addressing server, database and frontend bottlenecks can improve the overall efficiency of the website and reduce unnecessary processing.
Improved Mobile Experience
We consider how the website performs on mobile devices and slower connections, not just on a fast development machine or local network.

FAQ
Your Speed Optimisation Questions Answered
These are some of the questions we commonly hear about website performance and Core Web Vitals.
What are Core Web Vitals and why do they matter?
Core Web Vitals measure loading performance, responsiveness and visual stability. They provide useful indicators of how a website performs for users and are one part of Google’s broader page experience and search systems.
How long does speed optimisation take?
The timeline depends on the website and the issues identified. Simple improvements can be completed quickly, while database, server or application-level work may require more development.
Will optimisation affect how my site looks?
Most performance work happens behind the scenes. Where visual changes are required, we can make them while maintaining the existing design and functionality.
I already use a caching plugin. Is that enough?
Caching can help, but it does not address every performance problem. Slow database queries, server response times, JavaScript execution and third-party resources may require additional technical work.
How much does speed optimisation cost?
Cost depends on the size and complexity of the website and the problems identified. We can assess the current setup before defining the required work and providing a quote.
Will you guarantee improved Core Web Vitals scores?
We can implement and measure agreed optimisation work, but scores can also be affected by hosting, third-party services, content and real-world user conditions. We therefore focus on measurable improvements rather than guaranteeing a particular score.
