What is included (7)

Seven areas we analyse and tune, from the first report to the database.

  • Site analysis

    We run your site through GTmetrix, read the reports and identify which factors have the greatest effect on its speed.

    GTmetrix · PageSpeed · YSlow · Waterfall

  • Images and media

    Graphics that are too many or too large are scaled and optimised, and multimedia is reviewed where it adds no value.

    Scaled images · Optimised images

  • Caching

    Browser caching and page caching are set up and tuned so repeat content is not rebuilt on every visit.

    Browser cache · Page cache

  • CSS and JavaScript

    Stylesheets and scripts are optimised and minimised so pages have less to download and run.

    Minified JavaScript · CSS sprites

  • Server and CDN

    We check server compression, the CDN configuration and the web host itself, and correct what is set up badly.

    Compression · CDN · Hosting

  • Database

    A slow or poorly optimised database is tuned so content and store pages are delivered without delay.

    Database optimisation

  • WordPress tuning

    Plugins are optimised, kept up to date and patched, and redirects are cleaned up along with the dynamic parts of the site.

What slows a site (5)

Five common causes we look for first.

  • Heavy graphics

    Too many images, or images that are too large. These can often be improved without any loss to the user experience.

  • Unneeded multimedia

    Streaming media in places where it adds no value to the page.

  • A slow database

    A poorly optimised database holding up every page that depends on it.

  • A misconfigured CDN

    A content delivery network that is not set up properly for the site it serves.

  • The web host

    Sometimes the problem is not the site at all but the hosting it runs on.

Questions (4)

What clients ask before speed work.

Why does website speed matter?

People do not like to wait for a site to load, especially on a mobile device, and if they cannot get quick results they are likely to leave. A faster site can also handle more visitors at once, and speed plays a part in search rankings.

How do you find out what is slowing my site?

We run an analysis through GTmetrix, which tests the site with PageSpeed, YSlow and Waterfall reports. We go through each factor, identify the ones with the greatest impact and find a way to resolve them.

Can you speed up a WordPress site?

Yes. WordPress can become slow if it is not managed carefully. We optimise plugins and tune browser and page caching, CSS and JavaScript, server compression, the database and redirects, and make sure plugins are up to date and patched.

Will optimising images change how my site looks?

Graphics that are too many or too large can often be improved without any loss to the user experience. We work within guidelines that match your company’s needs.
