Transform your slow WordPress site into a high-performance digital asset

Expert WordPress speed optimisation services

While WordPress’s flexibility makes it powerful, it can also lead to bloated, slow-loading websites. As a former W3C Invited Expert with decades of WordPress experience, I specialise in optimising WordPress sites for maximum speed and performance without compromising functionality.

Why Performance Matters

Site speed isn’t just about user experience—it’s about business success:

  • A 1-second delay reduces conversions by 7%
  • 47% of users expect pages to load in 2 seconds or less
  • 40% abandon sites that take over 3 seconds to load
  • Slow sites rank lower in search results
  • Poor Core Web Vitals Hurt Your SEO
  • Mobile users are even more speed-sensitive
