What slows most WordPress sites down
- Too many or heavy plugins loading scripts and styles on every page, even where they are not used.
- A bloated database: autoloaded options, expired transients, post revisions and WooCommerce session tables.
- Unoptimized images served at full size instead of WebP/AVIF at the displayed size.
- Page builders and themes that ship large CSS and JavaScript bundles.
- No page or object caching, or caching plugins that conflict with each other.
- Slow hosting response time (TTFB), often from PHP versions or slow queries rather than the host itself.
What the speed optimization includes
- Measure first: PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse and server response time recorded before any change.
- Fix the biggest bottleneck: scripts deferred or removed per page, images converted and resized, database cleaned and indexed, caching configured (including Cloudflare where you use it).
- Check nothing broke: forms, checkout, logins and layouts tested on staging before going live.
- Before-and-after report: the same measurements repeated, so you see exactly what changed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does WordPress speed optimization cost?
A fixed $199 for one site, including a before-and-after report, delivered within 48 hours.
Will you guarantee a perfect PageSpeed score?
No honest developer can guarantee a fixed score; third-party scripts such as ads, chat widgets and analytics set limits. You get measured improvements on the metrics that matter for users and rankings: LCP, INP and CLS.
Do I need to change hosting?
Usually not. Most slow sites are slowed by plugins, images and database bloat. If hosting is the real limit, the report says so with numbers.
Does this work for WooCommerce?
Yes. Cart, checkout and account pages are handled separately so caching never serves one customer's cart to another.
