1. The need for speed...
Sorry for the 1980s header... but with websites there is definitely a need for speed. Especially if SEO and user experience are top of your marketing priority list.
It's a well known fact now that:
- Google ranks fast loading web pages higher in the SERPs
- Website visitors leave pages that are slow to load
With regards to the latter, relate how you behave with a web browser. If a site is slow to respond it's frustrating and you start to have negative feelings about the website you're on.
2. How we can help
We can help you in four main ways, as follows.
2.1 Free 30 minute consultation
If you suspect, or know, that your web pages are having speed issues (even minor ones) then we can help with an initial diagnosis.
We can run our tests here. This will primarily focus on a PageSpeed Insights for both mobile and desktop views. The consultation will focus on:
- One or two core pages of your website
- Examine the visible code assets of these pages, including: HTML, CSS and Javascript
- Examine third party code that may be slowing down your web page
- Check the impact of images and any video
- Check from a feasibility point of view if we can help
- Outline what options you have in moving forward
2.2 Audit and Report
After the free consultation, the next step is a paid-for report on the issues that are causing your web pages to be slow. The report will make recommendations which you would be able to take to your web developer to do. Please note, we can also put in place changes.
The report will cover each of the following with specific tailored recommendations:
- Your home page's performance
- Your main landing pages as provided by you - limited to six (if more needed then please request)
- Your hosting
- And more...
2.3 Website Speed Optimisation Services
We're also able to complete development work on certain systems that include:
- WordPress
- Static site generated websites Jekyll and Eleventy
- Plain HTML, CSS and Javascript sites
- Any system if it's a rebuild
If we believe that your current site cannot be improved sufficiently then we will recommend a new build based on your current design. For example, we may recommend that you rebuild your WP Elementor site with WP Bricks Builder website instead.
We normally discount any new build since the design is already established. It's just a case of rebuilding it with performance in mind.
2.4 Mentoring / Training
If you'd to know more about website performance then we're happy to run online mentoring sesssions with you. These can be question and answer sessions or more in-depth.
As a first port of call, definitely book in for a free consultation. It would be great to meet you and have a good look at your website.
3. Have you checked out our blog performance articles?
We've written a series of in-depth articles on website performance. We've tailored these articles for marketing people, but they would be equally suited for business owners.
Here are the main titles:
- Page Speed Insights: What it is and how to use it
- Web Pages: All about what web pages are composed of, covering simple overviews of HTML, CSS and Javascript
- High performing HTML: Covering the impact of HTML on slow loading web pages
- High performing CSS: Covering the impact of too much CSS on web page load speeds
- Optimising Javascript: An in-depth look at how Javascript can destroy page speed

4. Frequently asked questions
How much does the audit and report cost?
Please contact us to get a quote.
How long does it take to complete the report?
Normally, we complete the report within a week. But it's worthwhile booking in in advance so that we can schedule your work. We are only a small business.
Can you provide advice to me so that the work can be completed in-house?
Yes, check out the mentoring section above... but we can assign recommendations and weekly tasks to you.
If you rebuild my website, will the design be different?
No, it will be the same as before. Unless of course we collectively decide to drop features that add no value from a website visitor perspective. For example, a social media feed in a footer my be costing you valuable bytes but adding no value to your customers.
