Speed Fix

Speed Fix sharpens WordPress load times inside seven days. We audit fonts, imagery, caching, and database load with a Core Web Vitals audit to pull LCP, CLS, and TBT into green while documenting every change.

Baseline diagnosticsWe capture lab and field metrics, inspect hosting, and identify blockers before optimization begins.
Optimization sprintsFonts, CSS, media, caching, and scripts are tuned in daily passes to deliver faster render times.
Proof on deliveryWe provide comparative reports, configuration notes, and next steps so you can maintain gains.

What we improve

Every pass targets assets, scripts, and infrastructure choices that drag Core Web Vitals and revenue conversions.

Lab and field audit

We run PageSpeed, Lighthouse, WebPageTest, and Query Monitor to surface largest contentful paint, layout shift, and blocking script issues.

Font and CSS overhaul

We subset and self host fonts, preload essentials, inline critical CSS, and defer rest to accelerate first paint.

Media and asset slimming

We compress, resize, and convert imagery to WebP, adjust lazy loading, and ensure hero assets stay eager for faster LCP.

Caching and CDN setup

We configure page and browser caching, tune CDN rules, and warm caches so repeat views load in under two hundred milliseconds.

JavaScript control

We defer third party scripts, trim unused bundles, and protect mission critical interactions to keep input latency low.

Database and Woo tuning

We clean transients, optimize queries, tame WooCommerce cart fragments, and audit cron tasks for steady server response times.

Seven step cadence

Each step ships async notes, measurable wins, and approvals so you see progress without meetings.

StepProcess
Step 1; Performance intake and baseline captureWe gather access, run PageSpeed, WebPageTest, and Query Monitor, then log lab plus field metrics with kickoff deposit.
Step 2; Optimization plan approvalWe present a prioritized backlog covering fonts, CSS, media, caching, scripts, and database fixes, then align expectations and schedule.
Step 3; Font and CSS passWe subset fonts, preload essentials, inline critical CSS, and defer remaining styles while confirming layout integrity.
Step 4; Media optimization sprintWe compress, resize, and convert imagery, adjust lazy loading, and remeasure LCP on templates that matter most.
Step 5; Cache and CDN configurationWe configure caching plugins, tune CDN rules, warm caches, and verify faster time to first byte on repeat views.
Step 6; Script and database tuningWe defer third party scripts, remove unused bundles, clean transients, and optimize WooCommerce queries for lower blocking time.
Step 7; Evidence bundle and handoffWe rerun reports, compile before and after comparisons, record a Loom walkthrough, and deliver maintenance recommendations.

Launch checklist

We hand over proof, settings, and guardrails so your team can keep speeds in green.

Why it works

We base every sprint on Core Web Vitals benchmarks, asset optimization studies, and tooling guidance from trusted sources.

Core Web Vitals focus

We align targets with Google's LCP, CLS, and TBT guidance to make sure gains translate into real user improvements.

Asset optimization research

We rely on industry playbooks for font subsetting, critical CSS, and WebP adoption so render blocking assets stay lean.

Performance tooling discipline

We use WebPageTest, Query Monitor, and caching benchmarks to verify every change and log repeatable steps for your team.

Ready to lock in faster load times

We will audit, tune, and ship Speed Fix sprint with measurable proof.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast do you deliver Speed Fix?

Most sprints finish in three to seven days once we have access and approvals. You see daily async updates with before and after metrics so you know progress without calls.

What do you need before starting?

We need WordPress admin, hosting, CDN, and any performance plugin access. A list of priority templates and third party scripts keeps work focused on what earns revenue.

Will the site go down during the sprint?

No. We work in staging or during low-traffic windows, validate changes, then deploy with rollback ready. You see proof before and after each release.

Does Speed Fix help Core Web Vitals?

Yes. Every pass targets LCP, CLS, and interaction latency with font, media, cache, and script tuning. We document vitals delta so you can show compliance.

Can you handle WooCommerce performance?

We trim cart fragments, defer noncritical scripts, and tune database calls to keep carts responsive. Checkout and account pages stay prioritized in each pass.

Do you change hosting?

We try to optimize your current host first. If the stack is the bottleneck, we recommend alternatives with cost and migration notes so you decide.

What proof do I get?

You receive before and after Lighthouse, PageSpeed, and WebPageTest reports, plus a change log. We also note plugin settings and CDN rules so you can repeat results.

Will caching or script changes break features?

We test forms, checkout, and interactive components after each change. If something regresses, we roll back immediately and adjust the approach before retrying.

What happens after the warranty window?

You keep the configs, reports, and maintenance notes. If new issues appear later, we can scope a fresh mini sprint with clear price and timeline.

Do you coordinate with in-house devs?

Yes. We log every change and can hand off Git patches or staging notes so your developers can review. Decisions stay in writing to keep ownership clear.
