The Three Signals Google Uses to Rank Your Client's Site
Core Web Vitals are Google’s official performance metrics — they directly impact search rankings and user experience. We fix all three.
Largest Contentful Paint
Good: under 2.5s
What it measures
How fast the main content of the page loads — the largest image or text block visible in the viewport.
How we fix it
Image compression and WebP conversion, server response optimisation, render-blocking resource removal, and caching configuration.
Interaction to Next Paint
Good: under 200ms
What it measures
How quickly the page responds when a user clicks, taps, or types — the overall responsiveness of the page.
How we fix it
JavaScript optimisation, third-party script auditing, plugin bloat removal, and deferred loading of non-critical scripts.
Cumulative Layout Shift
Good: under 0.1
What it measures
How much the page layout unexpectedly shifts as it loads — those frustrating jumps that make users click the wrong thing.
How we fix it
Explicit size attributes on images and embeds, font loading optimisation, and ad/iframe dimension pre-allocation.
Our Optimisation Process
We don't guess. We diagnose first, fix second, verify third.
Full Performance Audit
We run a comprehensive audit using GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights, and Query Monitor to identify every performance bottleneck.
Prioritised Fix Plan
We map the issues by impact — highest-leverage fixes first. You see exactly what we're doing and why before we touch anything.
Optimisation Execution
We implement every fix — caching, image optimisation, script management, hosting config, and more — on a staging environment first.

Slow Sites Cost Your Clients Real Money
Speed isn’t a technical nicety. It directly affects rankings, conversions, and revenue. Here’s what’s at stake.
Google Rankings
Core Web Vitals are a confirmed ranking signal. Slow sites lose ground to faster competitors in search results.
Ad Quality Score
Google Ads rewards fast landing pages with higher Quality Scores — meaning lower cost per click and better ad placement.
Conversion Rate
Every additional second of load time reduces conversions. Faster pages mean more leads and sales from the same traffic.
Bounce Rate
Users who hit a slow site leave before it loads. Speed optimisation keeps visitors on the page long enough to convert.
Client Retention
A visibly faster site is something clients notice and value. It's one of the most tangible improvements you can deliver.
Agency Reputation
Slow client sites reflect on you. Fast sites — and the report to prove it — build trust and justify your retainer.

For Agencies Whose Clients Have Slow Sites and Know It
SEO Agencies
Core Web Vitals are a ranking factor. If your clients' sites are slow, your SEO results are being held back. We fix that.
PPC Agencies
Slow landing pages kill Quality Score and inflate cost per click. Speed optimisation is one of the highest-ROI fixes in paid media.
Full-Service Agencies
Add speed optimisation as a standalone service or bundle it into your existing retainers — without adding dev overhead.
Web Design Agencies
Launched a site that scores poorly post-build? We clean it up so you hand over something you're proud to put your name on.
Maintenance Clients
Sites on your care plans that have degraded over time due to plugin updates or content bloat — we restore performance.
eCommerce Sites
WooCommerce stores are notorious for performance issues. We have specific optimisation workflows built for WordPress eCommerce.
Two Ways to Get Sites Optimised
Whether it's a one-off fix or ongoing performance work across your client base, there's a model for both.
