Google's Core Web Vitals (CWV) are crucial for search rankings, measuring speed, interactivity, and stability. Failing to meet these can lower your rankings, making it harder for customers to find you. A slow website frustrates visitors, leading them to competitors. By enhancing performance, we'll keep your audience engaged, encourage exploration, and boost your bottom line.

What I check

Core Web Vitals causes
Images, fonts, JavaScript, layout shifts, and render blocking work
Page weight and requests
Heavy assets, duplicate downloads, and wasted requests
Third party scripts
Tag Manager, tracking, chat, and widgets. See third-party scripts and when to say no.
Caching and delivery
Cache headers, CDN behaviour, and asset versioning
JavaScript execution
Long tasks, main thread contention, and unused code

Fix sprints

Use a fix sprint after an audit, or book one for a single high impact issue.

Half day fix sprint
3 to 5 hours: £299
Full day fix sprint
6 to 8 hours: £599
Two week performance sprint
40 hours: £2,799

Optimising performance isn't just about speed; it's about delivering a seamless experience that builds trust. Let's make your website faster and more efficient, giving you an online edge.

Quick answer: what performance work changes

Performance work removes bottlenecks that slow down real journeys. You get faster rendering, stronger Core Web Vitals, and a site that feels reliable on everyday devices and connections.

Evidence and benchmarks

Core Web Vitals thresholds are fixed and measurable: LCP 2.5s or less, INP 200ms or less, CLS 0.1 or less. Source: web.dev Core Web Vitals.
Large payload reductions are achievable: Burntwood Canine Hydrotherapy gallery page reduced from 313,310KB to 751KB (99% smaller). See Burntwood case study.
Consistent gains across multiple projects: Flare Insight page weight reduced from 2,400KB to 291KB (87.9% reduction). See Flare Insight case study.

FAQs

What does a performance audit include?

A baseline report, page weight and request review, Core Web Vitals checks, and a prioritised list of fixes with expected impact.

Do you check Core Web Vitals?

Yes. I review LCP, INP, and CLS, plus the real causes behind them such as images, fonts, JavaScript, and layout shifts.

Can you speed up an existing site without a rebuild?

Often, yes. If the foundations are decent, targeted fixes can deliver large gains without changing the design.

What do you need access to?

A URL list, key user journeys, and analytics access if available. For staging or gated areas, I need test logins.

How long does performance work take?

It depends on the causes. Image and font work can be quick. Large JavaScript and platform constraints take longer.

Will speed improvements help SEO?

It helps where speed blocks good user experience. Performance supports rankings and conversions, but content and relevance still lead.

Do you provide before and after evidence?

Yes. You get baseline results and updated results after changes, so progress is clear and measurable.

What kind of fixes do you usually make?

Image optimisation, caching, reducing JavaScript, improving font loading, trimming third party scripts, and fixing layout instability.
