Find Out What’s Really Slowing Your Site Down
PageSpeed Insights hands you a score and a wall of vague suggestions. A speed audit hands you the exact culprits: which plugins, which images, which server settings are costing you seconds. You get a prioritized fix list sorted by impact, not a 60-page report nobody reads.
What’s actually killing your speed
Plugin overload
47 active plugins, each loading CSS and JS on every page. You don’t need 47. You need 15 that work well together.
Unoptimized images
4MB hero images served as PNG, no WebP, no lazy loading, no responsive srcset. Images are usually the single biggest bottleneck.
Wrong hosting
Shared hosting packed with 40 other sites and a 2-second server response. No caching plugin fixes a slow server.
Database bloat
100,000 post revisions, 50,000 spam comments, orphaned plugin tables. Query time creeps up every year you ignore it.
Render-blocking assets
20 CSS files and 15 JS files in the head. The browser can’t paint a single pixel until they all download and parse.
Caching that fights itself
Three caching plugins fighting each other, missing browser cache headers, no CDN. Every request gets built from scratch.
What’s in the audit
A prioritized action plan, not a data dump. Every finding comes with the fix, the expected gain, and the effort to ship it.
- Full waterfall analysis in Chrome DevTools and WebPageTest
- Plugin performance audit with load time measured per plugin
- Image optimization assessment with a real savings estimate
- Server response analysis: TTFB, DNS, SSL, connection time
- Database query profiling with slow queries identified
- Caching review across page cache, browser cache, and CDN
- Core Web Vitals breakdown with fix priorities
- Prioritized plan: quick wins first, then medium, then long-term
What changes after
How I audit your site
Baseline measurement
I test from 5 global locations on real devices, mobile and desktop, throttled 3G and fast WiFi. Real conditions, not lab fantasies.
Deep dive
Waterfall analysis, plugin profiling, database queries, server response. I find every millisecond you’re wasting.
Prioritized roadmap
Every issue documented with impact, effort, and the exact fix, sorted so the biggest wins come first.
Walkthrough
We go through the report together so you or your dev can execute with zero guesswork.
Why a diagnosis beats a guess
I’ve watched people spend a weekend compressing images when their real problem was a 2-second TTFB on cheap shared hosting. The audit kills that guesswork. On a typical build I take sites from a 3.8s LCP down under 1s, but only after the data tells me which lever actually moves first.
If you’d rather I do the fixing too, I also handle performance optimization, Cloudflare cache setup, and full technical SEO.
