WordPress Speed Optimization Expert with 5+ years of experience. ⚡
I specialize in WordPress performance optimization, Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed Insights, and GTMetrix optimization, delivering real, measurable speed improvements.
🚀 WordPress speed optimization expert at your service.
My name is Serge. For the last 5 years, I’ve been focusing exclusively on WordPress speed optimization and WordPress performance optimization.
With over 300 WordPress websites optimized, I’ve gained hands-on expertise that I use to improve WordPress website speed, Core Web Vitals, and PageSpeed Insights scores.
⚡ A well-optimized website helps with WordPress SEO and, most importantly, improves user experience, which leads to lower bounce rates and higher conversions.
No business can afford a slow website anymore, and no WordPress SEO strategy is complete without proper WordPress speed optimization.
🧩 A well-planned WordPress speed optimization and performance optimization process consists of the following steps:
⚪ WordPress performance audit using PageSpeed Insights and GTMetrix optimization benchmarks. This helps identify weak points in Core Web Vitals (FCP, LCP, CLS, TTFB).
⚪ Website cloning and optimization environment setup: safe testing environment, server comparison, WordPress caching strategy, and CDN setup (Cloudflare, Bunny.net, or similar).
⚪ WordPress caching configuration: choosing and configuring the right caching solution - WP Rocket, LSCache, or server-side Varnish cache, resulting in improved TTFB and overall WordPress performance.
⚪ Asset cleanup and WordPress optimization: image optimization for WordPress, font optimization, lazy loading, database cleanup, and removal of unused assets.
⚪ WordPress performance configuration: core WordPress tuning and Elementor speed optimization, Divi speed optimization, or other page builder performance optimization.
⚪ Testing phase: Nothing goes live until everything is verified. WordPress speed improvements must never break website functionality. Attention to detail and real performance optimization (not cosmetic tweaks) is key here.
⚪ Implementation and reporting: The outcome is improved Core Web Vitals, higher PageSpeed Insights scores, and better GTMetrix benchmarks, while the website functions exactly the same — only faster.
🛠 Tools & plugins I use for WordPress speed optimization:
There is no single tool or plugin that fits all WordPress websites; otherwise, WordPress performance optimization would be trivial.
WordPress caching: WP Rocket, LSCache, Varnish, W3 Total Cache
Asset optimization: Asset CleanUp Pro or similar
Image optimization WordPress: Imagify, Hummingbird, EWWW
CDN services: Cloudflare, Bunny.net, Amazon S3
This is not a complete list; tools are selected based on what works best for each WordPress website.
🎯 What kind of WordPress speed improvement can you expect?
It depends on what WordPress optimization has already been done.
* Previously optimized WordPress websites: ~2× performance improvement
* Non-optimized WordPress websites: 4–9× speed improvement
📈 PageSpeed Insights scores typically range from 70 (heavy WordPress websites) up to 95+.
A precise WordPress performance estimate is provided after the initial speed audit.
No guesswork — you know the performance targets before the work begins.
🔧 Do you work with WordPress page builders?
Yes.
While builders add overhead, Elementor speed optimization and Divi speed optimization can significantly improve WordPress performance. I work with Elementor, Divi, and other WordPress builders.
📍 Do you work with Shopify or other platforms?
No.
I intentionally focus exclusively on WordPress speed optimization and WordPress performance optimization. I currently do not offer Shopify speed optimization or Webflow speed optimization services.
📌 What other services do you provide?
While I don’t build WordPress websites from scratch, I’m proficient in most WordPress-related tasks, including:
🔹 No-downtime WordPress migrations
🔹 Critical error (500x) recovery
🔹 WordPress backup & maintenance services
🔹 Malware removal and security fixes
🔹 Other WordPress optimizations and troubleshooting
🏆 Why choose me for your WordPress speed optimization project?
✓ WordPress speed optimization is my core specialization
✓ I deliver real, measurable WordPress performance improvements
✓ Tool-agnostic approach — I implement what works best for your WordPress website
You’re in experienced, reliable hands when trusting me with WordPress performance optimization.
📋 How does the optimization process start?
Every project starts with a technical WordPress performance audit (Core Web Vitals, TTFB, caching, assets). Based on real data, I define clear performance targets and an optimization strategy before any changes are applied.

✅ Was invited to Meta Headquarters
Hello 👋 My name is Tom, I’m a Senior Meta/Facebook Ads Expert with over 5 years of experience and I’m obsessed with driving online sales. The main focus of my work is achieving key business goals that allow my clients to grow, so I don’t like wasting my and my clients’ time doing things that don’t directly correlate with Revenue, ROAS, and LTV increase.
Since the start of my media buying career, I’ve worked with businesses from all kinds of verticals including but not limited to e-commerce, online education, real estate, fitness, healthcare, finance, crypto, NFT, automotive, and local service providers. Some of them are small family companies and some are world-famous brands like Lyft and Anytime Fitness. Starting from 2021, I mostly focus on projects with high scaling potential to apply my skill set to the fullest.
In order to provide my clients with exceptional service, I have acquired practical knowledge in areas beyond traditional Facebook media buying, such as:
👉 Creative strategy (key success driver in the post-iOS era)
👉 Conversion rate optimization (CRO)
👉 Unit economics
👉 Team management
👉 Funnel building and customer journey optimization
👉 Advanced web tracking and analytics
👉 Artificial Intelligence (AI)
👉 Marketing automation
👉 Sales copywriting
👉 TikTok Ads
👉 Marketing consulting
📩 Feel free to contact me right now if you’re interested in scaling your business with Meta/Facebook/Instagram ads. Let's schedule a short call to discuss your goals and strategy to achieve them.
P.S. If you’d like to know how happy my clients are about our cooperation, here are some testimonials (these and others can be found in my profile):

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
