You suspect duplicate posts or products from an import or migration, but there's no way to spot them by browsing. We compare content directly and remove…
Your user meta or sessions table has far more rows than your actual user count explains. We clear the expired data and fix why it wasn't…
Text is invisible, or visibly swaps fonts, while your web fonts load. We fix the loading strategy for the fonts that actually matter.
Your site is slow across more than one area at once — front-end, caching, database, server. We look at it as one connected system and fix…
Your text-based files aren't being compressed before sending, or compression is misconfigured somewhere in the chain. We confirm what's happening and fix it properly.
WordPress pings your server constantly while wp-admin is open, and the default frequency can add up with several editors working at once. We tune it without…
Buttons, filters or menus feel laggy to use, and Search Console flags INP. We find the specific script blocking the response and fix that interaction.
You want offscreen images and iframes to load only as visitors scroll to them, without accidentally delaying the one image that should load first.
Action Scheduler has logged hundreds of thousands of completed background tasks, and WordPress has to scan through them. We clear the backlog and set retention so…
Your site tests fine on a desktop tool but feels slow on an actual phone. We test real mobile conditions and fix what's specifically costing time…
Your Media Library's Unattached filter shows a large number of orphaned files or records. We identify what's genuinely broken and clean it up safely.
Deleted posts and terms have left orphaned metadata behind, referencing IDs that no longer exist. We identify and remove it, and find what's causing the ongoing…
Two or more performance plugins are fighting over the same job, making things slower instead of faster. We find the overlap and reconfigure so they work…
Plugins removed long ago left their post meta behind on every post they ever touched. We trace it back and clear what's no longer needed.
You want the browser to fetch your most critical resources early, without scattering hints across everything and slowing the important ones down instead.
PageSpeed flags render-blocking CSS or JS on your site. We work out which files genuinely need to load early, defer the rest, and test that nothing…
Slow sites split into two causes that get treated as one problem and rarely are. The first is what loads in the browser: unoptimised images, render-blocking CSS and JavaScript, no caching or CDN, fonts and third-party scripts that delay the page long after the visible content is ready. The second is what’s happening in the database underneath — years of post revisions, expired transients, orphaned postmeta and log tables nobody cleaned up, adding weight to every query WordPress runs whether or not a visitor ever sees the result.
Fixing either one without checking the other usually disappoints: a caching plugin can’t compensate for a database carrying ten times the rows it needs, and a lean database won’t fix a homepage loading four unoptimised hero images. What these fixes have in common is that they start by measuring rather than guessing — an actual query count, a real Core Web Vitals report, a proper audit of what’s slow and why — and then work through causes in the order they’re actually costing time. The number that matters is what a real visitor experiences, not a synthetic score.
