WordPress performance optimization without a risky rebuild
We baseline the site, find the bottleneck across cache, runtime, database, plugins, and front-end delivery, then fix the highest-impact issues first and verify the result.
A clear performance report, not just “work done”
After the optimization work, you receive a structured report covering what was measured, what was found, what was fixed, and what to watch going forward.
Benchmark snapshot — Before-and-after measurements for LCP, TTFB, CLS, and blocking time — with targets alongside actuals.
Prioritized findings — Issues ranked by severity and impact, not grouped by category. You see what mattered most.
Implementation roadmap — A phased fix order: quick wins first, then structural improvements, then infrastructure changes.
Monitoring guidance — Which metrics to track, how often, and what counts as a regression — so improvements hold over time.
Different from the case study above. The quotes below are from completed Upwork contracts in this service area—they do not refer to that anonymized story.
What clients say on Upwork
Selected feedback from completed contracts on Upwork.
Quote: WordPress audit was concrete—not generic “install a cache plugin.” We knew what to fix first and could measure after.
Quote: Professional, responsive, and strong on technical detail. Would hire again for infrastructure or performance work.
Find the bottleneck. Fix the highest-impact issue first.
We start with the current state so the work targets a real constraint, not a guess.
Find the bottleneck
We identify the real bottleneck instead of making broad changes everywhere.
Fix the highest-impact issue first
That could be cache configuration, query load, plugin overhead, front-end delivery, or runtime limits.
Keep the changes safe
We use staged work, safe changes, and rollback planning where needed.
Validate the result
We compare against the baseline and check whether the site now loads more cleanly and behaves more reliably.
Bring us in when the site is slow, unstable, or getting harder to change safely.
Performance baseline
Page speed and Core Web Vitals, plus cache behavior.
Platform constraints
Runtime and hosting-side constraints, database load, and slow queries.
Theme and plugin overhead
Plugin drag, theme overhead, and front-end delivery issues that affect load time.
Common Triggers
- Core Web Vitals are weak
- Page speed dropped after plugin, theme, or hosting changes
- Admin is slow, storefront is slow, or both
- The site feels heavy but nobody can show what is actually causing it
- You want page speed optimization without turning it into a full rebuild
What You Get
- A WordPress audit grounded in actual bottlenecks
- A fix order instead of a pile of generic recommendations
- Clear notes on what changed
- Post-change validation against baseline metrics
What This Work Is Really About
This is performance and stability work first.
Better speed can support CRO and ecommerce performance, but this page should stay honest about what is being sold: WordPress performance optimization, page speed optimization, and technical cleanup that removes drag.
