I have mixed feelings about this contract. I got an expectation from the job post that he would be able to fix our pagespeed issues himself, without additional costs. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Mr. H did provide valuable service as a consultant, but he did not fix pagespeed fix himself.
He put in time, tried to implement 2 external webspeed providers and was a great resource. He was able to direct us to 3rd party vendors that did increase our pagespeed, but only on DESKTOP. These vendor costs were in addition to what he charged and we'll be paying money out long-term for this subscription. In the end, our pagespeed increased ONLY on the DESKTOP side of the equation. Mobile pagespeed is still really slow and falls far below Google requirements.
Note: We're on Bigcommerce and we require several apps to help make this platform perform properly. Each of those apps negatively impact our pagespeed.
We've paid one of the 3rd party vendors (webpage speedy) for a complete site review that includes recommended code modifications that may help increase pagespeed. We have sent those recommendations to our webdeveloper (which will be yet another additional charge).
While disappointed with the outcome, I do think that Mr. H used all of the tools available to try to help us.
