Speed is not optional

53% of mobile visitors abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. Not slowly browse. Abandon completely.

And it gets worse. Every additional second of load time drops conversion rates by 7%. A 5-second site converts half as well as a 2-second site, and that's real money leaving your business.

Google knows this too. Core Web Vitals (their speed and user experience metrics) directly affect your search rankings. Slow sites get pushed down. Fast sites get rewarded.

Most slow sites aren't fundamentally broken. They're death by a thousand cuts: unoptimised images, render-blocking resources, bloated plugins, inefficient code. Each problem seems minor. Together, they cripple performance.

Who needs speed optimisation?

Speed optimisation delivers results for:

Sites failing Core Web Vitals

Google Search Console shows poor performance metrics. Rankings are suffering as a result.

E-commerce sites losing sales

Your checkout is slow and cart abandonment is high. Every second of delay costs conversions.

WordPress sites gone bloated

Years of plugins and "quick fixes" have accumulated into a sluggish mess.

Businesses where mobile matters

Your analytics show mobile traffic but mobile conversions lag, and it's often a speed problem.

Honest note: If your site already scores well on Core Web Vitals and loads in under 2 seconds, you probably don't need this service. We'll tell you honestly if we don't think optimisation will make a meaningful difference.

How we optimise speed

Comprehensive audit first. We test across devices, connections, and locations to identify exactly what's slowing you down. No guessing, no generic recommendations.

Quick wins, then deep fixes. We start with high-impact, low-effort changes like image optimisation, caching, and compression. Then tackle the harder problems: code efficiency, database queries, architecture.

Real-world testing. Lab scores are nice. What matters is real user experience. We measure actual visitor loading times, not just synthetic benchmarks.

Preserve functionality. Aggressive optimisation that breaks features helps nobody. We test thoroughly, staging changes before touching your live site.

Sustainable results. We document everything and train you on practices that keep the site fast. Speed shouldn't decline the moment we leave.

Why choose us for speed?

Developers, not just auditors

We don't just identify problems, we fix them. Code-level changes that plugins can't handle.

WordPress specialists

We know where WordPress sites typically bog down and how to fix them without breaking functionality.

Hosting control

Your site runs on 365i Hosting. We can tune server settings, caching, and infrastructure, not just the code.

Measurable results

Before and after metrics you can verify yourself. No trust required, just measure the difference.

Performance obsessed

We build fast sites from scratch. This service applies that same obsession to existing sites.

Realistic expectations

We'll tell you what's achievable. Some sites need optimisation. Some need rebuilding. We'll recommend what actually makes sense.

Image optimisation experts

WebP conversion, lazy loading, responsive images, proper sizing. Images are usually the biggest culprit, and we fix them properly.

Ongoing speed monitoring

We can monitor your Core Web Vitals continuously and catch new issues before they hurt rankings.

What Clients Say About Our Speed Optimisation

My current domain supplier suddenly went into administration meaning that I was losing the email service I’d used for 25 years. I contacted several hosting providers who wanted to take your money for a new account but couldn’t offer the transfer. However, Mark & the team were extremely helpful in sorting the transfer of my “unusual” domain to their services. I can’t recommend them enough especially after they expended a couple of painful days working behind the scenes & doing everything to facilitate the process. Thank you.

Mark has done a great job building my website for me. Easy to work with and professional. Will be using him and his company for any help I need in the future. I will be using the hosting sevices he provides for my other webistes.

If you want the best....look no further. I'm slightly reluctant in leaving such a good review as we want him to ourselves! Not enough stars or words to explain this man's level or expertise and work ethic. Wow!

The best hosting provider I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with (and I've tried a few over the years!). Superb personal service, no foreign call centres and you get to deal with people who really know what they're talking about. Performance is top notch too - experienced an immediate increase in website responsiveness after transferring to them. Can't recommend highly enough.

Great service, very friendly and knowledgeable. Mark has the patience to explain to those of us who don't speak tech! Would recommend.

I was really not happy with my website and its structure, but luckily I found Mark at 365i, I moved hosting to 365i, Mark very quickly found all of the faults with my Wordpress site that my previous company missed altogether, most importantly the crucial AI discovery, outdated high site security risk plugins, out of date website core. He fixed all of the issues and errors within 72 hours. Personal attention at the highest level and always available in times when support is urgently needed. It’s only been 2 weeks since the sites update and improvements but we are already seeing positive results especially within the AI search results. Thank you for your support Mark Jeffrey Avery MD Avery Associates

Absolutely brilliant. Great value hosting and very high quality, but the support you get from Mark is second to none, he will literally bend over backwards to help you, even at silly o'clock on weekends. You just won't get this level of support anywhere else. And he really knows his stuff.

No words really. I've had a few companies myself and always give my best, and this is the first time I've experienced the same back. What a savour mark has been for us. Can't do enough to help... 10 stars!!!!

Frequently asked questions

Why is my website so slow?

Common causes include unoptimised images, too many plugins, render-blocking resources, poor hosting, bloated themes, and database inefficiency. Usually it's multiple small issues combining. A speed audit identifies your specific problems.

What is a good website speed score?

For Google's Core Web Vitals: LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200ms, and CLS under 0.1. PageSpeed Insights scores of 90+ on mobile are excellent. Desktop is usually easier; mobile performance is the real challenge.

What are Core Web Vitals?

Core Web Vitals are Google's metrics measuring user experience: LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) measures loading, INP (Interaction to Next Paint) measures responsiveness, and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) measures visual stability. They directly affect rankings.

Does website speed affect SEO?

Yes, page speed is a confirmed Google ranking factor. Slow sites rank lower, especially on mobile. Beyond rankings, slow sites have higher bounce rates and lower conversions. Speed affects both visibility and revenue.

How can I make my WordPress site faster?

Key improvements include: quality hosting, image optimisation, caching, minimising plugins, using a lightweight theme, database cleanup, CDN setup, and deferring non-critical JavaScript. We typically achieve 50-80% speed improvements.

What is LCP in web performance?

LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) measures how long it takes for the main content to load, typically the largest image or text block. Good LCP is under 2.5 seconds. It's the most impactful Core Web Vital for perceived speed.
