WordPress speed and Core Web Vitals optimization

Caching plugins can't fix a slow query. We trace backend and database bottlenecks with New Relic, tune the cache layer (object cache, Redis, Elasticsearch) where your stack needs it, and remediate Core Web Vitals until your field data passes.

99 Performance
LCP 1.2 s
INP 90 ms
CLS 0.02

The targets we optimize to: LCP under 2.5 s, INP under 200 ms, CLS under 0.1, in real-user field data.

Where we look

A slow site can hide the problem in any layer. We check all of them.

Most speed services stop at the frontend. We follow the request all the way down, and fix the layer that is actually slow.

01 · Browser

Frontend delivery

Render-blocking CSS and JavaScript, web fonts, oversized media, third-party scripts, and the layout shifts they cause.

Lighthouse CrUX
02 · Application

PHP and plugins

Slow plugin hooks, theme code, and external API calls, traced request by request until the expensive line of code has a name.

New Relic APM
03 · Database

Queries and schema

Unindexed tables, slow queries, autoloaded options bloat, and orphaned metadata that makes every page load pay a tax.

MySQL WP-CLI
04 · Cache & search

Infrastructure services

Page cache hit rates, object caching, Redis memory and eviction settings, and Elasticsearch indexing, tuned where your stack needs it.

Redis Elasticsearch
Why manual

Plugins minify. They don't diagnose.

A speed plugin can compress assets, but it can't remove a render-blocking font, refactor an unindexed query, or untangle a theme that shifts layout on every load. Those problems need a person reading the traces.

We profile your site with New Relic and browser telemetry, trace slow requests to the query or hook that causes them, and fix the cause. The result shows up in your Core Web Vitals field data, not just a lab score.

You get a written report of what was slow, what we changed, and the before and after numbers, so you can see exactly what the audit paid for.

The audit sequence

  1. 01 Backend profiling. New Relic traces of query bottlenecks, heavy plugin hooks, and PHP latency.
  2. 02 Database tuning. Index slow query tables, clean autoloaded options, remove orphaned metadata.
  3. 03 Cache layer. Page and object caching, Redis, and Elasticsearch, configured and tuned as your stack requires.
  4. 04 Core Web Vitals remediation. Fix layout shift (CLS), input delay (INP), and media loading (LCP).
  5. 05 Ongoing automation. WP Raiser deployed and configured to keep assets optimized after we leave.

As fast as your design allows

We optimize to the maximum your current theme and design can reach, not to a score nobody can guarantee. And because field metrics take 28 days to refresh, we recommend monitoring for about three months after the fixes.

Full-stack pricing depends on the site: large WooCommerce stores, e-learning platforms, and communities involve more work and are quoted up front.
