I fix slow WordPress websites.
If your site is failing Core Web Vitals, scoring low on Lighthouse, or costing you conversions because of poor performance, I solve that — fast, clean, and with measurable results.
I specialize in:
• Core Web Vitals improvement (LCP, CLS, INP, FID)
• Lighthouse optimization (Performance, Accessibility, SEO)
• Page speed tuning & asset optimization
• WP Rocket / LiteSpeed / Cloudflare configuration
• Database cleanup & slow-query removal
• Ecommerce performance tuning (WooCommerce)
• Performance-first WordPress development
You’ll get:
• Clear communication & fast turnaround
• Before/after reports with real metrics
• Fixes that stick — not hacks that break later
• A faster, more stable, more profitable website
If your WordPress site is slow, I’ll make it fast.
