A faster website, more customers

According to Google, more than half of mobile visitors leave a page that takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Google notices too and ranks slow sites lower. I find out what slows your site down and fix it without rebuilding from scratch.

Scope

What I do

Speed audit

Measurements in PageSpeed and Search Console and a list of specific issues.

Core Web Vitals

I improve loading time, layout stability and responsiveness.

Images and caching

Image compression, modern formats and proper caching.

Technical SEO

Sitemap, redirects, duplicates, headings and structured data.

Rebuilding from Elementor

If a site is too heavy, I move it to a lightweight theme, keeping the look and the URLs.

Results we measure

PageSpeed score before and after, mobile loading time and Google traffic in Search Console.

Price: audit and optimisation from 279 € + VAT.

Why a slow website costs you customers

Most people look for local services on their phone, often on the go and on a weak connection. If your page takes too long, they go back to Google and pick a competitor. You never even know they were there.

Google measures the same thing. The Core Web Vitals check how fast the main content appears, whether things jump around while loading and how quickly the page responds to a tap. A weak score does not ruin a site, but when competitors are similar, the faster site has the edge.

My own website scores 98 in PageSpeed on mobile. I apply the same rules to client sites.

The usual reasons a site is slow

  • photos uploaded straight from a camera or phone, several megabytes each
  • a heavy page builder such as Elementor plus dozens of plugins
  • hosting without caching
  • chat widgets, maps and ad scripts that load before anyone needs them
  • fonts loaded from external servers

Step by step

How the optimisation works

Measure

I test the site in PageSpeed and check the data in Search Console, and record the starting score.

List of issues

You get a short list of what slows the site down and a quote for the fixes.

Fixes

I work on a copy of the site, so your visitors see nothing. Then I move the changes to the live site.

Measure again

We compare before and after. A few weeks later I also check the Search Console data.

Fix it or rebuild it?

Usually fixes are enough: lighter images, caching and a clean-up of plugins and scripts. Sometimes a site sits on a heavy page builder and cannot get much faster without changing the foundations. Then I suggest moving it to a lightweight theme. The design and the page addresses stay the same, so you keep what the site has already built up in Google.

I always tell you first what is worth doing. If fixes give a good result, I will not push you into a rebuild.

What you get at the end

  • your PageSpeed score before and after
  • a list of the changes I made
  • tips on keeping the site fast when you add new content

Questions

Questions about speed optimisation

Your question is not here? Write or call me. I reply within one working day.

How much does website optimisation cost?

An audit and optimisation costs from 279 € + VAT. The final price depends on the size of the site and what needs fixing. The quote is free and you get a fixed price before I start. See all prices on the pricing page.

Will my website go offline while you work?

No. I make the changes on a copy and move them to the live site only when everything works.

Will I rank higher in Google after the optimisation?

Nobody can honestly promise that. Speed is one of many signals Google looks at. A faster site does help you keep the visitors who already found you.

Do you work on websites built by someone else?

Yes. I work on WordPress sites built by other people and agencies. I only need access to the WordPress dashboard and the hosting.

Will the website stay fast?

Yes, if someone looks after it. New plugins and heavy images slow it down again over time. With Care Plus you get a speed report every month.
