Your website is costing you customers every single second
53% of visitors abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. We optimise WordPress and WooCommerce sites to score 100 on PageSpeed Insights, pass every Core Web Vital, and load in under a second. No plugins. No shortcuts. Server-level optimisation that actually works.
Speed isn't optional. It's revenue.
Every second your site takes to load costs you real money. Here's what the data says.
We fix what caching plugins can't
Most speed plugins apply surface-level fixes — minification, lazy loading, basic caching. That gets you from 30 to 60 on PageSpeed. To hit 100, you need server-level work that plugins simply cannot do.
Bloated Themes & Page Builders
Elementor, Divi, and Avada generate thousands of lines of unused CSS and JavaScript. We audit every stylesheet and script, remove what's unused, and restructure the render path so your above-fold content loads instantly. In severe cases, we rebuild critical templates from scratch — lean HTML, zero bloat.
Unoptimised Images & Media
Images are the #1 cause of slow WordPress sites. We convert your entire media library to WebP/AVIF, implement proper responsive srcsets, add explicit dimensions to prevent layout shift, configure lazy loading that actually works, and set up automatic optimisation for future uploads.
Render-Blocking CSS & JavaScript
When your browser hits a CSS or JS file, it stops rendering until that file downloads and executes. Most WordPress sites have 15-30 render-blocking resources. We identify critical CSS for above-fold content and inline it, defer everything else, and restructure the loading order so your page paints in milliseconds.
Plugin Overload & Conflicts
The average WordPress site has 20-30 plugins. Each one adds database queries, CSS, JavaScript, and HTTP requests. We audit every plugin, identify which are essential, find lightweight alternatives for bloated ones, and consolidate functionality. We've seen sites go from 45 plugins to 12 — and a 4x speed improvement.
Database Bloat & Slow Queries
Every post revision, spam comment, transient option, and orphaned metadata slows your database. Slow queries on WooCommerce product pages can add 2-3 seconds to load times. We clean, optimise, and restructure your database, add proper indexing, and configure object caching with Redis so your most common queries are served from memory.
Poor Server & Hosting Configuration
Shared hosting with no caching, PHP 7.4, no OPcache, no CDN, no Brotli compression — we see this constantly. We configure server-level page caching, enable modern compression, upgrade PHP, implement HTTP/2, set up Cloudflare with proper page rules, and ensure your server responds in under 200ms.
The difference is measurable. Every time.
We don't deal in vague promises. Every optimisation is measured against Google's own tools. Here's a typical result.
Three steps. No guesswork.
Every site is different, but our process is proven. We've refined it across 150+ optimisations to deliver consistent, measurable results.
Audit & Diagnose
We start with a comprehensive performance audit that goes far beyond what PageSpeed Insights shows you. We analyse your server configuration, database performance, render path, asset delivery chain, third-party script impact, hosting environment, and WordPress configuration. You receive a detailed technical report with every issue prioritised by impact — not a generic checklist, but a roadmap specific to your site.
Optimise & Implement
Our engineers connect directly to your server via SSH and implement every fix identified in the audit. Server-level caching, CSS critical path extraction, JavaScript defer/async restructuring, full media library optimisation, database cleanup, plugin consolidation, CDN configuration. No shortcuts, no quick-fix plugins. Most sites are fully optimised within 3-5 business days.
Monitor & Maintain
Speed isn't a one-time fix. Plugin updates, content changes, and WordPress core updates can introduce regressions. Our monitoring service tracks your Core Web Vitals daily and alerts us if scores drop. We fix regressions before they impact your rankings.
Performance solutions for every platform
Whether you need a one-time fix or ongoing performance management, we have a service that fits.
Website Speed Optimisation
Comprehensive performance overhaul for WordPress and WooCommerce sites. We address every layer — server, database, theme, plugins, assets, and delivery. Typical result: PageSpeed score from 30-50 to 95-100.
WooCommerce Performance
E-commerce sites have unique challenges — product queries, cart sessions, checkout scripts, payment gateway overhead. We optimise WooCommerce specifically, including AJAX cart performance and checkout conversion speed.
Core Web Vitals Rescue
Failing Core Web Vitals in Google Search Console? We diagnose and fix LCP, CLS, and INP issues across your entire site — not just the homepage. We work until every URL in your CrUX report is green.
Server & Hosting Optimisation
Sometimes the problem is underneath WordPress. We audit and optimise your server configuration, implement proper caching layers, configure CDN, and if your host is the bottleneck, we manage the migration.
Ongoing Performance Monitoring
Monthly retainer service. We track your Core Web Vitals daily, fix regressions, manage plugin updates for compatibility, and run quarterly re-optimisation passes. Your site stays fast permanently.
Emergency Speed Fix (24h)
Site suddenly slow? Update broke something? Core Web Vitals went red overnight? We offer 24-hour emergency response for critical speed issues. Same expert service, urgent timeline.
Not another speed plugin. A specialist engineering team.
Here's what makes VeloPress different from installing WP Rocket and hoping for the best.
Server-Level Access, Not Plugin Settings
We SSH into your server and make changes at the infrastructure level. Caching configuration, PHP tuning, Nginx rules, Redis setup, database indexing — work that no plugin can replicate. This is engineering, not configuration.
AI-Powered Diagnostics
We use AI to analyse your site's performance data, identify patterns across hundreds of optimised sites, and prioritise fixes by actual impact. Our diagnostic process catches issues that manual audits miss — third-party script cascades, layout shift triggers, and hidden render-blocking chains.
Guaranteed Measurable Results
We don't promise vague "improvements." We set a target PageSpeed score before we start and hit it. If we don't achieve the agreed target, you don't pay for the optimisation. Every client gets before/after data, not marketing claims.
We Actually Practise What We Preach
This website you're reading right now scores 100 on PageSpeed Insights mobile. Load it on your phone. Check it yourself. We don't just optimise client sites — we built our own site to the same standard. Zero bloat, sub-second load, every Core Web Vital green.
Don't take our word for it
"Our WooCommerce store was losing sales because the product pages took 6 seconds to load on mobile. VeloPress got us to under 1 second. Our mobile conversion rate increased by 34% in the first month. The ROI on their fee was insane."
Founder, ThreadCraft UK
28 → 98 · Mobile conversions up 34%
"We'd tried three different caching plugins and two freelancers. Nothing got us past 65 on PageSpeed. VeloPress hit 100 within a week. The difference was they actually logged into the server and fixed things — not just toggled plugin settings."
Marketing Director, Bloom Digital Agency
42 → 100 · 7 days to perfect score
"Google Search Console was showing red Core Web Vitals across our entire site. Our rankings were dropping. VeloPress fixed every single URL — 340 pages — and our organic traffic recovered within 6 weeks."
Head of Digital, Meridian Property Group
35 → 97 · 340 URLs fixed
"As an agency, we needed a reliable partner to handle performance for our client builds. VeloPress handles post-launch optimisation for all our WordPress projects now. Consistent results, every time."

Questions we hear every day
How long does optimisation take?
Most sites are fully optimised within 3-5 business days. Emergency fixes are delivered within 24 hours. Complex WooCommerce sites with thousands of products may take up to 7 days.
Will optimisation break my site?
No. We work on a staging copy first, test everything thoroughly, then deploy to your live site. We take a full backup before making any changes, and we monitor for 48 hours post-deployment.
Do you need access to my hosting?
Yes. We need SSH and/or SFTP access to your server, plus admin access to your platform. We treat your credentials with the same security standards we apply to our own infrastructure.
What if my hosting is the problem?
We'll tell you. If your current host fundamentally can't deliver the performance you need, we'll recommend alternatives and manage the migration as part of the service.
Do I need to keep paying monthly?
No. The one-time Performance Fix is exactly that — one time. The monthly Performance Partner plan is optional, for businesses that want ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Many clients choose the one-time fix and only come back if they need a re-optimisation later.
What platforms do you support?
We specialise in WordPress and WooCommerce. Our deep optimisation service covers both platforms with the same 90+ PageSpeed guarantee.
