Speed & Performance
Page Speed Optimization: faster website, better ranking
Load time is not just a technical detail; it is a competitive factor. Google ranks fast websites higher, and most visitors click away if they have to wait longer than three seconds. I analyze your WordPress website and make it noticeably faster.
What Google measures
Core Web Vitals: What’s behind them
Google evaluates every website based on three criteria: LCP (how long it takes for the main element to load), INP (how quickly the page responds to clicks), and CLS (does the layout shift while loading?). Poor scores cost you rankings and customers.
Common causes
Why WordPress sites are often slow
- Images that have not been optimized for the web (too large, wrong format)
- Too many active plugins slowing each other down
- No caching or incorrectly configured caching
- External scripts (Google Fonts, Maps, chat widgets) that block page rendering
- A weak or overloaded hosting server
My approach
Analysis, Optimization, Result
- Analysis: Measurement using Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, and Lighthouse, resulting in a prioritized overview of vulnerabilities.
- Optimization: Convert images to WebP, set up caching, lazy-load external scripts, remove unnecessary plugins.
- Result: Before-and-after comparison with concrete measurements, no estimates.
Only what is maintained stays fast.
New plugins or WordPress updates can cause loading times to deteriorate again over time. To ensure consistently stable performance, I recommend ongoing maintenance to keep an eye on this.
