WordPress Speed Optimization, Fixes and Maintenance
Slow, broken or hacked WordPress site? I find the cause, fix it properly and keep it from coming back, with before-and-after PageSpeed reports so you can see the difference.

WordPress speed optimization that shows up on PageSpeed
Most slow sites have the same few problems: heavy images, too many plugins, a bloated theme and cheap hosting. I fix the real causes rather than stacking another caching plugin on top, then test on Google PageSpeed Insights for mobile and desktop.

FAQ
Can you guarantee a 90+ PageSpeed score?
- I aim for green scores on every job. Hosting, third-party scripts and theme choice can cap the result, and I'll tell you up front if they will.
My site was hacked. How fast can you help?
- Usually within 24 hours. I clean the files and database, remove backdoors and request a Google review if needed.
Do you work on sites you didn't build?
- Yes, that's most of this work.
