Speed up
WordPress.
Slow loading times cost you rankings, visitors and conversions. We measurably optimise your WordPress performance – from Core Web Vitals to server configuration.

Every second counts: studies show that 53% of mobile users leave a page if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. At the same time, Core Web Vitals have been an official Google ranking factor since 2021. A slow WordPress site therefore costs you twice – in rankings and in conversions.
As a WordPress agency in Berlin, we analyse your website using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse and GTmetrix. We identify the specific bottlenecks and implement targeted measures – no guesswork, just data-driven optimisation.
Whether it's a bloated theme, too many plugins, missing image optimisation or inadequate caching – we find the cause and fix it. The result: measurably faster loading times, better Google rankings and happier visitors. All measures in detail: 10 tips for WordPress performance.
Our performance services_
Core Web Vitals analysis
We measure your site's LCP, CLS and INP and identify exactly which elements are slowing down loading times. You receive a clear action plan.
Caching & server optimisation
Properly configuring browser caching, page caching and object caching. Plus server-side optimisations like Gzip compression and HTTP/2.
Image optimisation
Conversion to WebP, automatic compression, lazy loading and responsive images. Often the biggest lever for faster loading times.
Code minification
Minifying CSS, JavaScript and HTML, inlining critical CSS, removing unnecessary scripts and eliminating render-blocking resources.
Database optimisation
Cleaning up bloated databases: limiting post revisions, clearing transients, removing spam comments and optimising tables.
CDN integration
Setting up a Content Delivery Network so your content is delivered quickly worldwide. Including configuration and DNS adjustments.

FAQ_
Why is my WordPress site so slow?
The most common causes are: too many or poorly coded plugins, unoptimised images, missing caching, slow hosting and bloated themes with page builders. We analyse your site and identify the specific bottlenecks.
What are Core Web Vitals and why do they matter?
Core Web Vitals are Google's metrics for user experience: Largest Contentful Paint (loading time), Cumulative Layout Shift (visual stability) and Interaction to Next Paint (responsiveness). Since 2021, they have been an official Google ranking factor.
How much faster can my WordPress site become?
In most cases, we achieve a 50–70% improvement in loading times. Sites that previously took 5–8 seconds to load often achieve under 2 seconds after optimisation. This depends on the starting point and the hosting used.
Do I need to change my theme for performance optimisation?
Not necessarily. Many optimisations like caching, image compression and code minification work independently of the theme. However, if your theme relies heavily on page builders like Elementor or Divi, switching to a lean block theme can deliver the biggest performance gains.
How much does WordPress performance optimisation cost?
A one-off performance audit with implementation of the key measures typically costs between €500 and €1,500. We also offer ongoing maintenance and monitoring as a monthly service. The exact price depends on the scope of your website.
