WooCommerce Speed Optimisation

The most common culprits are inadequate web hosting, a lack of proper caching, large unoptimized images, and a bloated theme or too many poorly-coded plugins. Our first step is always to perform a deep audit to identify the specific bottlenecks on your site.

Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics Google uses to measure a site's real-world user experience, focusing on loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability. They are a direct SEO ranking factor. A better score not only helps you rank higher but also means a better experience for your customers, which boosts sales.

Our process is data-driven and methodical. We start with a comprehensive Performance Audit to benchmark your site and identify every issue. We then present a prioritized action plan. Upon approval, our developers implement the technical fixes in a safe staging environment before deploying to your live store.

Your hosting is the foundation of your store's performance and is often the single most important factor. A cheap, shared hosting plan simply cannot handle the demands of a dynamic e-commerce site. A key part of our audit includes assessing your hosting and recommending an upgrade if it's the primary bottleneck.

Not necessarily. The issue is usually not the number of plugins, but their quality. Our audit identifies which specific plugins are causing slowdowns. We can often replace several inefficient plugins with one well-coded custom function or find a more performant alternative.

No. Our goal is to make your existing site faster without altering its visual design or core functionality. All optimizations are done "under the hood." If we recommend removing an app that affects functionality, we will discuss it with you and suggest more performant alternatives.

While every site is different, our clients typically see a significant improvement in their Google PageSpeed Insights scores, often moving from the "Poor" (red) or "Needs Improvement" (orange) range into the "Good" (green) range. We focus on both the score and the real-world load time.

Our service is typically a fixed-price project. We begin with a paid, in-depth performance audit. The findings of that audit allow us to provide a firm, fixed-price quote for the implementation phase, so you know the full investment upfront.
