Where the seconds go on a slow page.
Google times how long a page takes to show its main image or heading, and splits that wait into four parts. On most slow WordPress sites, the first part is where the time goes. An example store page on a phone, before and after:
- Server response
Before the browser gets a single byte: the host, PHP, the database and caching.
Healthy share: About 40% - Waiting to start
The browser finds the main image late, so it asks for it late.
Healthy share: Under 10% - Downloading it
The main image itself: its size, its format, how far it travels.
Healthy share: About 40% - Drawing it
Scripts and fonts that hold the page back after everything has arrived.
Healthy share: Under 10%
The three numbers Google checks.
Together they are Core Web Vitals. The same example, before and after:
- When the main content shows Largest Contentful Paint
Before: 5.8 sAfter: 1.7 s
Good: 2.5 s or less - How fast a tap gets an answer Interaction to Next Paint
Before: 420 msAfter: 140 ms
Good: 200 ms or less - How much the page jumps Cumulative Layout Shift
Before: 0.24After: 0.03
Good: 0.1 or less
Google judges each number by the visit that three in four beat, over the last 28 days of real visits. So the change shows in Search Console about four weeks after the work, and we look at it with you then. Google's thresholds, the four parts.
What actually makes a WordPress site slow.
Rarely one thing. These are the six places the time goes, and what we do about each.
Server and response time
Before a single pixel, the server has to answer. Slow hosting, too few PHP workers or no page cache make everything wait.
What we do: Page and object cache, PHP workers and the CDN, tuned for your traffic.
How to reduce TTFBCaching that actually hits
A cache that misses, or skips pages it could serve, is as slow as no cache. Stores need it without breaking carts and logins.
What we do: Rules for what to cache, for how long, and what never to cache.
Database health
Autoloaded options, old revisions, expired transients and log tables that grow forever slow down every page and every admin screen.
What we do: Cleaned, trimmed and indexed, with the growth stopped at the source.
Autoloaded options, explainedImages and media
Photos straight from a camera or a stock site, served at full size to a phone.
What we do: Right sizes, modern formats, lazy loading below the fold.
Scripts, styles and fonts
Render-blocking CSS and JavaScript, several font files and third-party tags that all load before the page can paint.
What we do: Critical CSS first, the rest deferred, fonts trimmed, tags delayed.
The one slow plugin
Often a single plugin does most of the damage: a slider, a search, a page builder add-on, a stats tracker.
What we do: Profiled and found, then fixed, configured or replaced.
Why wp-admin is slowHow much it costs to speed up a WordPress site.
One fixed price, sent after we've measured and before any work starts.
What moves the price
- How much of the slowness is hosting and how much is the site
- Whether it is a store: cart and checkout need their own work
Every job includes
- Caching strategy and server tuning
- Image pipeline and lazy loading
- Database and autoload cleanup
- The plugin audit nobody wants to do
- Before-and-after numbers from the same tests
If the limit is your hosting, we tell you before you pay for tuning that can't beat it.
Faster, and done properly.

Questions about WordPress speed.
Anything else? Ask in the box at the top. We usually reply within a few hours.
Contact usHow much faster will my site actually get?
It depends where you start, but most sites we tune see server response and largest-contentful-paint cut by more than half. We baseline first and show before-and-after numbers, so you see the real gain, not a promise.
What actually makes a WordPress site slow?
Rarely one thing. Usually some mix of slow server response, missing or misconfigured caching, a bloated database, oversized images, and render-blocking scripts and fonts. We profile your site to find which of those apply before quoting.
Do you guarantee green Core Web Vitals?
We optimise toward green LCP, INP, and CLS and measure on your real traffic. Some limits are set by your hosting; if that is the ceiling, we tell you honestly and recommend the fix, often a move to faster hosting.
Will the work change how my site looks?
No. Performance work is invisible to visitors: same design, same content, same layout. We test on staging and measure before and after, so the only thing that changes is the speed.
Isn't a caching plugin enough?
Sometimes it helps, but caching hides symptoms without fixing causes. If the database is bloated or the render path is heavy, we fix that too, so the speed holds up under real traffic instead of only on a cached first view.
How do you measure the improvement?
Lab tools like Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights, plus real-user data, baselined before we start and re-measured after. You get the numbers, not just our word for it.
