WORDPRESS SPEED OPTIMISATION
Make your WordPress site fast. Without starting again.
Most slow WordPress sites aren’t slow because of their content. They’re slow because of what they’re built on. We fix that on the site you already have.
- revirto.com: 99 on mobile
- Automation CoE: 69 → 96 on mobile
- Elementor sites welcome
Results we’ve measured
Two sites we built, tested with Google’s own PageSpeed tool on mobile.
LCP on mobile / desktop1.4s / 0.5s
LCP on mobile3.3s → 1.8s
revirto.com runs on Elementor and shared hosting. It’s proof that a page builder and an ordinary hosting plan can be fast when the site is built carefully. LCP is the time it takes for the main content to appear; Google calls 2.5 seconds or less “good”. Here’s more on what LCP is.
What usually slows a WordPress site
| Cause | What it does |
|---|---|
| A heavy theme | Loads scripts, animations and styles on every page, even pages that don’t use them |
| Too many plugins | Each one can add its own files to every page |
| Oversized images | A 3 MB photo where 150 KB would look the same |
| Fonts | Several font families and weights loading before text appears |
| Sliders and animations | The main content waits for a script to run |
| No caching | The server builds every page from scratch for every visitor |
We learned the first one the hard way: one client’s main site ran on a heavy theme that loaded animations on every page. Getting it fast was a fight. Their next site started on a light base, and stays fast at 50 pages.
What we fix
Images: resized, compressed and served in modern formats, with nothing in the first screen lazy-loaded
Fonts: fewer weights, loaded so text shows straight away
Plugins: unused ones removed, heavy ones replaced where there’s a lighter option
Theme and page builder: scripts and styles only load on the pages that need them
Caching: page caching and browser caching set up and tested
Above the fold: the first screen simplified so the main content appears fast
Checks: forms, menus and tracking tested after every change, so nothing breaks
What we don’t touch
| We don’t | Because |
|---|---|
| Change your design | Speed work should be invisible. If a change would alter how the site looks, we ask first. |
| Change your content or URLs | Your pages, wording and Google rankings stay as they are |
| Remove features you use | If a plugin does a job you need, we find a lighter way, or keep it |
| Move your hosting without asking | Sometimes hosting is the problem. We’ll show you the numbers and let you decide |
If a site is so heavy that fixing it would cost more than starting again, we’ll tell you, and quote a rebuild instead.
How long it takes and what it costs
| Price | From $297 |
|---|---|
| Timeline | 3–7 days for a typical website |
| What you get | Before and after scores, a short note of what changed, and 30 days of fixes |
Common questions
Usually not. Most sites can be made much faster by fixing images, fonts, plugins and caching. We’ll tell you honestly if a rebuild makes more sense.
No. Speed work should be invisible. If a change would alter how the site looks, we ask you first.
Yes. revirto.com is built with Elementor on shared hosting, and scored 99 on mobile in Google’s PageSpeed test. What makes the difference is how carefully the site is built, not the page builder itself.
It can help a little. Page speed is one of the signals Google looks at, but content and relevance matter far more. The bigger win is with visitors: a fast site keeps more of them on the page long enough to enquire. Your content and URLs stay as they are, so your rankings aren’t put at risk.
Sites slow down again as plugins update and new content is added. Website Care includes a monthly performance check on mobile, so slow pages are caught early, along with updates, security and backups.
