Page Speed Optimization That Moves the Needle — Not Just the Score
A faster site ranks higher, converts better, and loses fewer visitors before they read a word. I find what's slowing your site down and fix it at the code level — not just with image compression.
Get a clear scope & rangeIs this a fit?
Page speed optimization has the highest ROI when it's applied to sites that already have traffic and content — not sites that are empty or brand new.Failing Lighthouse or PageSpeed scores
Scores below 70 on mobile are actively hurting rankings and costing conversions. This is the clearest signal that optimization work will pay off.
High bounce rate on mobile
If analytics show mobile visitors leaving almost immediately, slow load time is often the primary culprit — not your content.
Search Console Core Web Vitals failures
LCP, CLS, or INP failures in Search Console are direct ranking penalties. These need to be addressed at the code level — not masked with a CDN.
WordPress with plugin bloat
Most slow WordPress sites can be dramatically improved with plugin audits, proper caching, image optimization, and script deferral — without a full rebuild.
Brand new sites with no traffic
If the site just launched and has no data yet, optimization work is premature. Build it right first, then optimize based on real performance data.
Expecting a perfect 100 score
A 95+ score on a real business site is excellent. Chasing 100 often requires removing features that users need. I optimize for real-world user experience, not benchmark perfection.
Third-party scripts you can't remove
Chat widgets, ad pixels, and some analytics tools add real load time that can't be fully optimized away. I'll tell you exactly how much each one costs and what tradeoffs exist.
Investment & scope
Page speed optimization is typically an audit followed by a fix engagement. Complexity scales with site size and CMS.Starter
Audit + quick wins for small sites
- Lighthouse + CrUX analysis
- Top-5 issue identification
- Image optimization pass
- Caching configuration review
Typical timeline: 1 week
Core
Audit + full implementation — most popular
- Full audit + all fixes implemented
- Render-blocking script resolution
- WordPress plugin audit + cleanup
- Before/after score report
Typical timeline: 1–2 weeks
Advanced
Complex sites or e-commerce performance
- Large site or WooCommerce optimization
- Server-level caching + CDN configuration
- JavaScript profiling
- Ongoing monitoring setup
Typical timeline: 2–4 weeks
Every engagement includes a before/after Lighthouse report with real-user CrUX data. You'll see exactly what changed and why it matters.
Speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor
Slow sites lose visitors before they read your headline. Here's what a proper speed fix actually addresses.Root-cause fixes — not surface patches
I identify render-blocking scripts, oversized images, excessive plugins, and poor caching configurations — then fix the actual causes, not just the symptoms.
Lighthouse and CrUX data interpreted correctly
A Lighthouse score in a lab doesn't always reflect real-world performance. I cross-reference CrUX field data from Search Console to fix issues that affect actual users.
Sustainable improvements that hold
One-time image compression fades quickly. I implement caching layers, loading strategies, and code changes that maintain performance through content updates.
