What We Do

Your site is slow and you've already tried the caching plugin. Didn't help much, right? That's because the real problems are usually deeper. Server config, database queries, bloated plugins. We fix all of it.

Why This Matters

We've taken sites from 8-second load times down to under 2 seconds. Not by installing a plugin, but by tuning MySQL, configuring Redis, cleaning up the database, and fixing the code that's actually slow.

What that looks like in practice

Here's what usually happens: someone installs WP Rocket, enables gzip, and compresses their images. The score goes from 30 to maybe 60. But it's still slow because the real bottleneck is a 500ms database query running on every page load, or a plugin that makes 20 external HTTP requests, or a server running PHP 7.4 without OPcache. We find these things because we look at server metrics, not just Lighthouse scores. We also handle the frontend: critical CSS inlining, JavaScript deferral, font optimization, WebP conversion, and proper lazy loading. Plus CDN setup with Cloudflare or Bunny.net for global delivery.

What's Included

  • Core Web Vitals optimization (LCP, CLS, INP)
  • Server-level caching strategy
  • Image optimization & lazy loading
  • CDN configuration & tuning
  • Database query optimization
  • Render-blocking resource elimination

Our Approach

Here's how we work through every project, step by step.

01

Full performance audit — server response time, database queries, asset waterfall, Core Web Vitals

02

Server-level optimization — PHP version, OPcache, MySQL/MariaDB tuning, Redis object caching

03

Database cleanup and query optimization — removing bloat, adding indexes, optimizing autoloaded options

04

Frontend optimization — critical CSS, deferred JavaScript, image formats (WebP/AVIF), lazy loading

05

CDN configuration and caching strategy — edge caching, Brotli compression, cache headers

06

Core Web Vitals verification — LCP, INP, CLS all in the green zone
