Is Your WordPress Site Slow? I say, no more! Core Web Vitals in the red, slow LCP, layout shift, render-blocking scripts, these aren't just technical annoyances.

Specializing in WordPress performance optimization, getting sites to PageSpeed 90+ , mobile and desktop, passing Core Web Vitals, and making measurable improvements to LCP, CLS, and INP. This is deep, hands-on technical work, not a plugin toggle. What I actually do: ⚡ LCP optimization. Including image delivery, server response, render-blocking resource removal ⚡ Critical CSS extraction and deferral of non-critical styles ⚡ JavaScript deferral, lazy loading, and third-party script management ⚡ Image optimization, next-gen formats (WebP/AVIF), correct sizing, CDN delivery And if we need to get into it even deeper: ⚡ Hosting and server-side improvements: caching strategy, TTFB reduction, object caching ⚡ Google Tag Manager audits: bloated containers are one of the most overlooked loads ⚡ WooCommerce performance: cart fragments, checkout bottlenecks, product page speed Tools I work with: GT Metrix, Google PageSpeed Insights, Chrome DevTools, Search Console CWV report, Cloudflare, Cache Plugins, and custom code where plugins fall short.

I am an experienced WordPress professional of more than 15 years. I specialize in WordPress page speed optimization, having spent 11 years with WP Rocket, providing technical support to customers and optimizing WordPress sites. While I believe in using caching and optimization plugins, I believe they should be the final step in the process. Underlying issues and improvements should be addressed first, to get the best possible results. When I optimize your site I will - Conduct a frontend audit using tools like PageSpeed, DebugBear and GTMetrix to establish the current performance levels. - Check for underlying issues and improvements that could be made - Conduct a backend audit - Create an optimization plan - Work on your staging site first to avoid any disruption to your live site. - If content changes would be advantageous, these will be discussed with you for approval or otherwise. - Manual fixes will be applied first. - Finally any needed optimization plugins will be used. This could include caching plugins (for example, WP Rocket or Litespeed), optimization plugins like PerfMatters, image optimizers like Imagify, database cleaners etc. - If you already have optimization plugins installed that you want to continue using, I will work with those. - I will make sure everything is compatible with your server cache and CDN if you use them. - If needed, I’ll get Cloudflare or your CDN of choice activated for you. - I’ll test the site with optimizations applied to make sure nothing is broken. - After your confirmation, the changes and optimizations will be applied to the live site. - I’ll provide a final report which explains everything that was done and provides before/after results, and recommendations for moving forward. == In addition to speed optimization, I also specialize in technical support and technical writing. I’m able to write clear documentation and tutorials, tailored to the intended audience from beginners to developers. I have expertise in: • Providing technical customer support for WordPress plugins, with 11 years at WP Rocket • Web performance for WordPress sites, including configuring caching plugins like WP Rocket, and auditing sites for performance issues. • Providing 1/1 and group WordPress training • Writing technical documentation for WordPress plugins, and internal documentation for technical teams including debugging/troubleshooting guide, feature descriptions, UX writing • Writing WordPress tutorials • Building and maintaining WordPress sites Some of the ways I can help you: • Write technical documentation or how-to blog articles and tutorials tailored to your audience’s needs and technical understanding • Improve your site’s PageSpeed scores • Configure optimization plugins like WP Rocket to improve performance, without breaking your site • Troubleshoot caching conflicts and performance issues • Help you understand the why behind your site’s performance so you can maintain better speed going forward • 1 on 1 training for WordPress, tailored to your specific needs and questions • WordPress site maintenance - backup, updates, content changes, design tweaks, feature implementation etc. • Troubleshooting issues on your WordPress site I have experience with many WordPress plugins, themes, tools and hosts. Plugins include: WP Rocket, Advanced Custom Fields, Gravity Forms, Rank Math SEO, All in one SEO, Yoast SEO, Perfmatters, Litespeed cache, WooCommerce, database cleanup tools, migration tools, backup tools and many others!

If your WordPress site has already been "optimized" and the numbers still don't move — that's the work I do. 25+ years in web infrastructure. 12 years focused exclusively on WordPress. I specialize in the performance problems that persist after everyone else has "fixed it": LCP that won't drop below 4 seconds, TTFB creeping back up after a caching plugin, INP failures on Elementor-heavy pages, CLS triggered by late-loading assets nobody thought to audit. I work at the server level — SSH, MySQL, Apache, and PHP configuration — because that's where these problems actually live. I work in Elementor Pro daily. Most CWV problems on Elementor sites aren't WordPress problems — they're builder-level problems. Bloated DOM output, render-blocking widget scripts, unoptimized dynamic CSS. I fix them at the source, not by bolting on another optimization plugin. WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN Core Web Vitals & PageSpeed: LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB, TBT — full CrUX and lab score analysis Server-level optimization via SSH (Apache or NGINX) MySQL query profiling and database optimization PHP configuration, memory limits, and error resolution Server-side caching (Redis, Memcached) and Cloudflare CDN Render-blocking resource elimination at the code level Elementor-specific DOM and script optimization Real user metrics, not just lab scores Technical SEO: Hand-coded JSON-LD schema — not plugin-generated .htaccess for redirects and canonicalization robots.txt and llms.txt for traditional and AI crawler control Crawl error diagnosis via server log analysis RankMath Pro configuration and optimization WordPress Infrastructure: Migrations between hosts with zero downtime Staging environment setup and backup protocols Security hardening at the server and file permission level cPanel, WHM, and Kinsta environment management Ongoing maintenance with monthly reporting CLIENT RESULTS Corporate services site (2025): 47 hand-coded JSON-LD schemas — Service, Person, FAQ, AggregateRating with page-level targeting. Site health 88% to 99%. PageSpeed desktop +32 points. Delivered 5 days early, zero validation errors. Local business (2024): SEMrush visibility +25.6% in four months. 14 new top-3 keyword rankings. 92% site health score. E-commerce (2024): Domain authority 0 to 36 in under a year. Google Ads CPC dropped from $163 to $0.30 — 99.8% reduction in ad spend through organic visibility gains. Nonprofit (2020-2025): Inherited site with zero DA. Audit found database timeouts, 300+ broken redirects, unparseable schema — none addressed by the previous agency. Fixed all three. Result: 400%+ organic traffic increase, DA 0 to 25. WHO I WORK BEST WITH You're a good fit if: - Your site has CWV failures or PageSpeed scores that survived a previous optimization attempt - You've hired someone for this before and got a report instead of results - Your site runs Elementor, and performance is degrading as the content grows - You need server access, not just dashboard access - Your budget is $1,000- $5,000 for project work. WordPress only. Not the right fit for Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or basic plugin updates. TOOLS Performance: GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights, CrUX, SEMrush, Search Console WordPress: Elementor Pro, Perfmatters, EWWW Image Optimizer, RankMath Pro Server: SSH, cPanel, WHM, phpMyAdmin, MySQL, Apache, NGINX Hosting: Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, A2, Liquid Web, Cloudflare Minneapolis-based (CST). All work through Upwork.
