What we focus on
Illustrative focus areas. Your plan is based on your own audit.
Speed affects rankings, conversions and ad costs
Core Web Vitals are part of how Google assesses page experience, and slow pages also convert worse and cost more in paid campaigns. Most speed problems come from oversized images, heavy themes, too many plugins and missing caching.
You may need Website Speed Optimisation if…
- PageSpeed Insights shows poor or needs improvement
- Search Console flags Core Web Vitals issues
- Pages take more than a few seconds to load on mobile
- Your site uses a heavy page builder or many plugins
- Visitors leave before the page finishes loading

Website Speed Optimisation FAQs
Will speed optimisation break my site?
We test changes carefully, ideally on staging, and keep backups so anything can be rolled back.
Can you speed up a Divi or Elementor site?
Yes. Page builders can be fast with the right settings, caching and asset handling.
How fast will my site be?
It depends on your hosting, theme and content. We set realistic targets after the benchmark.
Do I need new hosting?
Not always. We only recommend a move if the server is the main bottleneck.
When will Search Console update?
Field data in Search Console uses a rolling 28-day window, so improvements show gradually.
