How Do We Speed up WordPress and Improve PageSpeed Scores, without Hurting the User Experience?
Every website is unique, but most slow WordPress websites go back to the same core issues:
- Certain themes or plugins will add unnecessary “bloat” to your website, making your web page load times increase.
- Low-quality web hosting or oversold web hosting servers will not have enough resources, leading to slow websites.
- Oversized or uncompressed images that slow your website down.
We’ll audit your WordPress website speed using Google PageSpeed, Google Lighthouse, and GTmetrix. We’ll take the results from all of these speed tests to see what is causing your website to be slow.
We’ll optimize your website speed, showing you detailed before and after results of our speed optimization changes, along with a summary of what website optimization adjustments were made.Our design services ensure that your website is easy for your team to manage while offering a high quality user-friendly for your audience. With a focus on functionality and performance, your website will be designed to drive engagement and conversions.

How Do We Improve Your Website Speed?
Websites are not slow by default. If your website is slow, it could be from a coding issue, third-party script dependencies, network, or web server related. Before we can make the website faster, we run a diagnostics to understand what is slowing your website down. We use this information to create a strategy that is guaranteed to make your website load faster.
Total Page Size
If your total page size is too large, loading times will suffer. We’ll assess your biggest page assets and optimize from the top down.
Image Optimization
Optimizing your image sizes to the correct dimensions prevents your server from sending out larger image files than you need. The web page will load faster as a result.
Image Compression
Images need to be compressed for the web. A 5MB image can easily be turned into a 200kb image and still look great for your sales page.
WebP Image Formats
WEBP image formats offer smaller file sizes, while still looking sharp. They can replace JPG and PNG images in many cases, with 25% smaller file sizes on average.
CSS & JavaScript Optimization
If your website is built on WordPress, JS and CSS script optimization is an absolute must to reduce your page’s data size and load times.
Server-Side Caching
Modern day web hosts often offer additional file caching or memcaching services. These systems can further improve your site performance.
Global CDN
Content delivery networks (CDNs) places copies of your website on servers across the World. CDNs offer faster page loading times for worldwide traffic while reducing stress to your primary server.
Web Host Analysis
Your web hosting provider, server, and network are a factor in your website loading times. We’ll assess your hosting infrastructure to make sure it’s not the bottleneck holding you back.

What else can make WordPress websites slow?
Sometimes WordPress can’t be made faster, even with plugins. If you have already had your WordPress website optimized and it is still slow, then your web host might be the problem.
Shared web hosting is often slow and unreliable, and if your WordPress website has a lot of plugins, you’re likely going to need better hosting to speed up your WordPress load times. Your website can only be as fast as your hosting can support.
Can we improve your Google PageSpeed score for mobile and desktop?
Yes! When we audit your website speed, we look for ways to improve loading times on both desktop and mobile. In some cases, mobile website speeds may require design changes, to ensure your website meets mobile web design standards. Many WordPress websites are slow on mobile, often failing Core Web Vitals due to their Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) scores.
