WordPress Speed Optimisation Services

We have created a proven process to optimise your site and increase website speed.

  • Optimised Images

    Loosless compression optimises all your images without sacrificing quality. We'll also auto-compress any images you upload in the future.

  • Minify Javascript, CSS & HTML

    Optimise scripts, codes and styles, minify and compress them, add expiring headers, and cache your website.

  • Leverage Browser Caching

    Set up saved versions of your website. When people visit your site, they are viewing a faster-loading cached version instead of having to load the whole website.

  • Enabled Compression

    Enable Gzip compression on your server or the location where your assets are being delivered.

  • Review Server Response Time

    Slow websites can often stem from living on low-quality servers. We will review your hosting provider's and recommend options if required.

  • Combine Requests

    We reduce the amount of requests your website calls out by combining your CSS and JS.

  • Lazy Loading Images

    Lazy loading for iframes and images across your site decreases load time and saves bandwidth.

  • Improve Core Web Vitals

    A sluggish website leads to increased bounce rates and a negative user experience. We help improve these results.

What logins will you need form me?
The logins we need are a WordPress admin level username and password.
If you are doing the Done-For-You package we will also require:
  • Current hosting loign
  • Domain Register login
  • Google Analytics Access
  • Google Search Console Access
We may need other logins depending on the services we are doing for you.
Can you work on WordPress Multisite networks?
Sometimes, not always. It depends how many sites you have in your network. We count each site on your network as a standalone site so you’ll need to purchase a Speed Fix service for each site you want fixed. Changes we make to speed up your network will have a positive impact on the whole system.
How do you check site speed?
We check sites with the best website speed test tools GTMetrix and Google Pagesped Insights. We check website speed, review the results. We create an action list to speed up your website and improve Core Website Vitals metrics.
Can my speed change once you have completed the speed optimisation service?
With the simple speed optimisation, we will do a one-off speed optimisation. Speed optimisation can change over time and these results may vary. Things that can affect the speed of your site once we have completed the service are:
  • loading large videos or images
  • removing any of our speed optimisation plugins
  • your hosting provider
  • plugins and themes requiring updates
  • bulky software
  • 3rd party code
What are the benefits of a monthly plan that includes maintenance vs a one-off speed optimisation?
We focus on improving speed in the long term with our monthly plans. We make adjustments as needed to ensure the site runs smoothly at its best speed.
Optimising your website for speed can make it load faster initially. However, the speed will decrease over time if you do not regularly optimise it as the site changes. It is important to regularly optimise the speed of your website to maintain fast loading times.
The Done-For-You plan is for business owners who want their site managed both now and in the future. This plan caters to those who seek ongoing management of their website. It is ideal for business owners who prefer to have their website taken care of by professionals. With this plan, you can effectively and consistently manage your site over time.
Do I need to move hosting companies?
It will depend on your current set-up and your hosting provider.
If you are using hosting providers such as Bluehost, Godaddy or cheap hosting providers, you may need to move your hosting. Cheap hosting providers have a stack of websites on the same server and run the server to the max.
We find sites on these cheaper servers don’t perform well and struggle to handle the load and the traffic to your site.
Typically we recommend WP Engine for our customers on poor quality web hosts. Choose our Done-For-You service. We will transfer your site to WP Engine. WP Engine is our top choice for hosting WordPress websites
Can Smart Robbie help me migrate to a faster host?
Yes! We can help migrate your site to a faster hosting company. Mostly our preferred hosting providers provide free migrations for signing up with them or we can handle it for you on our care plans.
Are there sites you can't fix?
Yes occasionally there are sites we can’t fix or there is a max limit we can optimise the speed. Usually, these sites have one or more of the issues listed below. In many cases, we will work with you to maximise the speed optimisation as best as we can. We can also scope for further development work to resolve any potential issues.
Issues that we see on sites we cant fix:
  • Site is running on a windows server. WordPress can run on a windows server but there are limitations to improvements.
  • site is running on a complex WordPress Multisite setup. WordPress multisites isn’t the best for performance especially running a multisite set up with a huge number of plugins, files or sites.
  • Poor quality hosting. This could include bad hosting platform, bulky sites form other sites on the server, limits to configurations, cheap software etc
  • Too much traffic for your hosting plan. Your hosting plan may not be able to handle the amount of traffic hitting your site.
  • Your site has custom dev work done or running poor-quality plugins. Occasionally we come across a site that has had custom development work done and runs into plugin conflicts or broken layouts.
Can you guarantee that my site will load in under 2 seconds under your service?
While our goal is always to achieve fastest loading times, we never make any promises when it comes to load of the websites we manage.
Every website is different. Depending on your site, it may be impossible to achieve a load time under 2 seconds. For example if your website is on a shared hosting server with thousands of other sites, and multiple 3rd party codes, chances your website will run slower.
We can discuss your site in detail with our speed engineers and provide estimates for a deep dive into your speed optimisation if this is the case.
Do you offer refunds?
We don’t offer refunds on these services as they come with premium licences and work done to the sites. If we can’t improve the site for any reason, you can request a refund. In this case, we will remove any work we did to optimise it. This includes removing any pro-licensed plugins.
If you are on our monthly plans, we don’t offer a refund because we start providing services from day 1. We can upgrade or downgrade our flexible plans at any time.
Premium plugins
As part of our speed optimisation service, we provide premium plugins. Smart Robbie managed the subscription fo these premium plugins.
  • Simple speed optimisation service – these plugins are part of the cost of the one off payment.
  • We provide premium plugins free of charge as part of our monthly maintenance and speed optimisation service. If you wish to cancel this service, you will lose access to our license to be able to run the plugin. Feel free to keep using these premium plugins by buying your own copy of the license.
