A slow website upsets your customers and Google. Your WordPress website may be updated regularly with the best content in the world, but if it’s still not ranking on Google and your customers aren’t sticking around, your website speed may be part of the problem. There are hundreds of tutorials and plugins and tips and tricks to improve your website speed, but how do you know which to use and where to start?
Most WordPress websites are built with some basic speed optimization, but there are many other website speed techniques that can drastically improve the loading time of your website.
As part of our WordPress Website Speed Package, we’ll run diagnostics on your WordPress website, will benchmark your initial results, and will upgrade your site to improve your site’s speed. This will improve your visitor’s experience, and your Google search rankings.
Your website will stay online while we work on it. Each website is different and yours may require external plugins to make it as fast as it could be. If so, we’ll advise you, and you can decide whether you’d like to add the plugins. We will discuss this with you after we have evaluated your website.
A good way to measure your website’s page load time is by clearing your browser cache and loading it yourself to see how long it takes, or by running tests on Pingdom or GTMetrix. On GTMetrix, make sure you click on ‘Timings’ so you can get an idea of how long the loading time is.
There are so many different ways to improve your website speed and loading time, from optimizing images and reducing gimmicks on your page, to removing plugins that aren’t needed, using a CDN, and more. We have practiced these techniques for years, and can now do the same for your website to improve your speed, and your customers’ user experience.

We can make your WordPress website faster, using our extensive training and experience. Small, simple WordPress websites are usually fairly quick to load. However, some layout and coding mistakes can destroy your page load time and make your website very slow. Larger websites are also often more complicated, which can add to page load time.
Speeding up a WordPress website is both a science and an art. It’s very easy to completely break a website if it is managed incorrectly. We’ll run diagnostics on your WordPress website, will benchmark your initial results, and will upgrade your site to improve your site’s speed. This will improve your visitor’s experience on your website, and your Google search rankings.
