WordPress Performance<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Load time is not an end in itself: it determines whether visitors stay and whether Google rates the page as a good user experience. We measure, optimize and keep the result stable through ongoing maintenance.<\/p>\n\t\t

What makes WordPress websites slow<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Slow websites rarely have a single cause. In practice, unoptimized images, too many plugins, an overloaded theme and missing caching add up. We first measure where the time is actually lost, instead of installing plugins indiscriminately.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

Unoptimized images<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Full-size photos are the most common cause. Modern formats and appropriate sizes have the biggest effect.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Too many plugins<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Every plugin loads its own scripts and styles, often on all pages. Fewer plugins are usually faster and more secure.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Missing caching<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Without caching, every page is rebuilt on every request \u2013 unnecessary work for the server with the same result.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

External embeds<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Maps, videos, chats and tracking scripts load third-party content afterwards and delay the visible rendering.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Weak hosting<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

On overbooked shared servers, optimization only helps to a limited extent. We tell you openly if switching makes more sense.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Bloated database<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Old revisions, logs and remnants of uninstalled plugins slow down queries in the background.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Our measures<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n
\n \t\t\t

Measurement before optimization<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We record Core Web Vitals for your most important pages \u2013 home page, services page, contact and, for shops, product and checkout.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Caching & compression<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Page, browser and object caching properly configured \u2013 for shops with exceptions for cart and checkout.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Image optimization<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Modern formats, correct sizes and lazy loading below the visible area \u2013 without visible loss of quality.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Reducing script load<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Disable unnecessary scripts on pages that don't need them, and serve fonts locally.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

CDN delivery<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In Business Enterprise via Bunny CDN: shorter paths to the visitor and protection against traffic spikes.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Continuously monitored<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

After every update we check the load time again. Optimization that isn't maintained decays within months.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

What we don't promise:<\/strong> a specific PageSpeed score. The score fluctuates by measurement and device. The target is the real-world usage data from the Core Web Vitals.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

We don’t promise that. A score of 100 is rarely realistic for websites with images, forms and tracking. The real-world usage data in the Core Web Vitals matters more.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No. We work on the technical side and check the appearance after each step. If a measure has visible consequences, we agree on it with you beforehand.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Usually not. If the server is the limiting factor, however, we say so and suggest alternatives \u2013 with no commission and no pressure to switch.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Only with ongoing monitoring. New plugins, large images and updates worsen the values again \u2013 which is why performance is part of monthly maintenance.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
