Why It Matters
Why Speed Optimization Needs a Specialist Approach
Slow pages lose visitors, conversions and search visibility. Most WordPress slowness comes from a handful of causes: heavy images, too many scripts, no caching and a busy database. We measure first, fix the biggest causes and report the change.
