Website Speed Optimisation
Every extra second of load time costs you visitors and sales. We diagnose exactly what's slowing your site down — then fix it for a fixed price, starting with a free audit so you know the real problem before you pay for anything.
A Slow Site Is Losing You Customers Right Now
Most website owners find out their site is slow the hard way — through falling conversion rates or a Google Search Console warning — rather than by actually measuring it. Research consistently shows that as load time increases past 2-3 seconds, bounce rate climbs sharply. Visitors don't file a complaint. They just leave.
We see this constantly through our free website audits: sites built on decent platforms, dragged down by a handful of fixable problems nobody ever addressed — often because the original developer wasn't around to ask, or the fix required more technical depth than a page builder plugin can offer. Image-heavy sites are hit hardest, which is why speed is central to our websites for photographers.

Every Common Cause of a Slow Website
We work through a structured checklist rather than guessing — most slow sites share the same handful of problems.
Image Compression & Formats
Oversized, uncompressed images are the single most common cause of slow load times. We convert to WebP/AVIF, resize correctly for each breakpoint, and set up lazy loading below the fold.
Render-Blocking CSS & JS
We inline critical CSS, defer non-essential stylesheets, and split or defer JavaScript so the browser can paint your page before it finishes downloading everything.
Third-Party Script Audit
Chat widgets, tracking pixels, review plugins and page builders each add their own JavaScript payload. We identify which ones are actually earning their keep and remove or defer the rest.
Core Web Vitals
We measure and fix the three metrics Google uses to score real-world experience: Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift and Interaction to Next Paint.
Hosting & Server Response
Sometimes the site is fine and the hosting isn't — a slow Time to First Byte usually points to underpowered shared hosting. We'll tell you honestly if that's your bottleneck.
Before/After Report
You get a plain-English report showing exactly what changed and the measured before/after difference — not just a "job done" email.
