Your WordPress
is slow. Fixed.
Real Core Web Vitals fixes. Not another cache plugin. Pass mobile PageSpeed 80+ on Elementor, Divi, WooCommerce. Or you don't pay.
The seven-step stack
Same sequence on every site. What breaks WordPress speed is well-known. The discipline is fixing all of it, not the easy half.
Real-user Core Web Vitals audit
CrUX data first, lab scores second. What Google actually sees, not what a synthetic test claims.
LCP under 2.5s
Fix the largest paint element on every template. Hero image, above-fold font, or a blocking script.
INP under 200ms
The metric that replaced FID in 2024. Script deferral, long-task splitting, main-thread cleanup.
CLS under 0.1
Kill layout shift from late-loading ads, images without dimensions, and font swap.
Elementor / Divi de-bloat
Widget regeneration, asset splitting, unused CSS removal. No rebuild required in 80% of cases.
Third-party script quarantine
GTM, chat widgets, hotjar, pixels. Loaded on interaction, not on paint. Big INP wins live here.
Verification + report
Before and after PageSpeed, plus a real-user CrUX pull 28 days later so you see field data catch up to lab.
“Caching plugins are one tool. Real WordPress speed work is thirty.”
Sites I speed up
Elementor sites
Widget-by-widget CSS and JS regeneration. Asset splitting. Unused Elementor Pro modules disabled per template. Typical lift: 35 to 82 on mobile.
Divi sites
Divi's Dynamic CSS and module rendering optimized. Static CSS mode, deferred JS, font-loading fixes. Typical lift: 28 to 78 on mobile.
WooCommerce stores
Cart fragments deferred, checkout scripts scoped, product page LCP fixed, third-party payment JS lazy-loaded. Typical lift: 30 to 75 on mobile. Checkout has a realistic ceiling.
Gutenberg / block themes
Font subsetting, image srcset audits, INP fixes, edge caching config. Typical lift: 55 to 95+ on mobile.
FAQ
Will you actually make PageSpeed hit 90+, or is that a fantasy?
On most WordPress sites, yes. Mobile scores of 85 to 95 are normal, desktop 95 to 100. The one exception is WooCommerce checkout and cart pages, which realistically top out around 75 to 85 on mobile because of payment scripts you can't defer. I tell you upfront which score range your specific site can hit before you pay.
How is this different from installing WP Rocket or FlyingPress?
Those plugins are one tool. This job is thirty. Caching plugins don't fix bloated Elementor CSS. They don't strip unused WooCommerce JS from your homepage. They don't rewrite render-blocking custom fonts. They don't fix INP (the metric that replaced FID in March 2024). I use whatever cache plugin fits. The real work is what the plugin can't do.
What actually breaks WordPress sites' speed in 2026?
In this order. First, Elementor and Divi shipping 500KB of JS before you write a line. Second, unoptimized custom fonts blocking render. Third, third-party scripts (chat, GTM, hotjar) killing INP. Fourth, unused WooCommerce assets loading site-wide. Fifth, hosting that can't do TTFB under 400ms. Cache plugins only touch the fifth one.
What about INP, the new Core Web Vital?
INP replaced FID in March 2024. It's the metric most WordPress sites now fail. It measures how long the browser blocks when users click or type. The fix is script-level: defer non-critical JS, break up long tasks, and stop plugins from touching the main thread during interaction. Standard on every engagement.
How long does the whole thing take?
Three to seven business days for the audit and fix. Day one is the full audit and baseline scores. Days two through five are fixes on staging. Day six is retest, tune, go live. Day seven is the verification report. Rush 48-hour turnarounds are available for +50%.
What if my site is Elementor or Divi. Do I have to rebuild?
No. About 80% of Elementor and Divi sites can hit passing Core Web Vitals without a rebuild, through proper caching, JS deferral, Elementor's own asset regeneration, and disabling unused widgets. Only around 20% (heavy custom widgets plus 30+ plugins) need a Gutenberg rebuild. I'll be honest which bucket you're in.
Do you guarantee the score?
Yes. If I can't get your PageSpeed mobile score to a target we agree in writing before starting (typically 80+ for content sites, 70+ for WooCommerce), you don't pay. That's why I audit first, quote after.
