What Website Speed Optimization involves
A slow website costs you visitors before they even see it. Every extra second of load time drops conversions and pushes you down in search. Speed is often the cheapest, highest-impact improvement you can make to a site.
I take a slow site and make it fast: optimise images and fonts, defer and trim JavaScript, add edge caching, and fix the render path. You get a measurably quicker site and a report showing exactly what changed.
What you actually get
Instant-feeling loads
Lean assets, deferred scripts, and edge caching for pages that appear fast.
Higher conversion
Faster pages keep more of the visitors you already paid to get.
A clear report
Before-and-after scores so you can see the money you got back.
Estimate your website speed optimization cost
Answer three questions and pick any extras. You get a price range and timeline instantly, and can send it straight to me for a fixed quote.
Your estimate
About 1 to 2 weeks
A ballpark to plan with, not a quote. Your answers go along with the brief, so the fixed quote comes back faster.
Or skip the quote
Build it on the Build plan at $2,490/month instead. This estimate equals about 1 month of a plan, and the plan keeps going after launch. Pause anytime.
