Professional Website Speed Optimisation Services in Perth
We optimise WordPress sites for business owners, agencies and local shops who want faster pages and higher search visibility. Some clients are ecommerce stores losing sales on mobile. Others run membership sites that slow when traffic spikes. Put simply, sound familiar?
Speed work fixes slow images, bloated plugins and poor hosting rules. The result is better user experience, higher conversion rates and improved SEO signals. And yes, you can usually see the difference in analytics and load-time tools within days.
DIY tricks help a bit. But real performance gains require testing, careful plugin choices, and server tweaks. Our team uses measurable steps so you don't waste time or money on changes that look good but don't move the needle.
Start Website Speed Optimisation for Your WordPress Site
We run a focused audit and deliver a short list of high-impact fixes. Most clients see a clear speed bump in 2-3 days.
Start Your AuditBenefits of Website Speed Optimisation
- Faster page loads: Faster pages reduce bounce rates and keep users clicking. That means higher engagement and better chance of a sale after they land on your page.
- Better mobile experience: Many Perth users browse on phones. Speed work prioritises mobile performance so forms, checkout and menus load quickly on slower connections.
- Improved search signals: Search engines use real user metrics. Faster sites score better on key metrics like LCP and FID, which helps rankings over time.
- Lower hosting costs: Efficient pages use less CPU and bandwidth. That can let you downgrade a plan or handle more traffic without paying more.
- Fewer plugin conflicts: We remove or replace heavy plugins so your site stays stable and easier to maintain after the work.
- Clear reporting: You get before-and-after metrics, so you can see the real impact on load times, conversions and server response.
What Our Website Speed Optimisation Includes
Performance Audit and Benchmarking
We run Lighthouse, GTmetrix and real user monitoring to capture baseline scores. Then we list the top 8 fixes that will actually change those scores and your user experience.
You receive a short report with priorities, estimated hours and expected improvements so nothing is left as guesswork.
Image and Asset Optimisation
Images are often the biggest cause of slow pages. We set up lossless compression, responsive srcset and modern formats where they help most.
That drops page weight without hurting visuals, and speeds mobile loads notably.
Caching and CDN Setup
We configure page and browser caching, plus edge caching via CDN so static assets load from nearby nodes for Perth visitors and overseas users.
That reduces server load and shortens time to first byte for most visitors.
Plugin Audit and Code Clean-up
We identify slow plugins, defer non-essential scripts and extract heavy inline CSS. The goal is fewer render-blocking resources and better overall stability.
Then we test across multiple pages to make sure nothing breaks after changes.
How Our Website Speed Optimisation Works
We follow a repeatable process so you know what to expect and can measure outcomes. No guesswork. Just steps that target the real slow points.
- Audit & Baseline — We capture current Lighthouse and real-user metrics and flag the biggest offenders. Expect a short PDF with ranked items.
- Quick Wins — We apply high-impact fixes first: image compression, caching rules and basic script deferring. Those often show results in a day or two.
- Server & CDN — We tune your host settings and add a CDN where it helps. That lowers Time to First Byte for local and global visitors.
- Plugin & Code Tune — We remove or replace slow plugins and tidy theme code so render-blocking and unused CSS is reduced.
- Monitor & Report — After changes we run tests and provide a before/after comparison plus a short maintenance checklist.

Signs You Need Website Speed Optimisation in Perth
Not sure if you need Website Speed Optimisation? Here are warning signs Perth businesses should watch for:
- Slow mobile pages: Your site scores under 50 on mobile Lighthouse and users leave before content loads.
- High bounce on landing pages: Traffic arrives but exits fast, lowering conversions and wasting ad spend.
- Slow checkout: Cart pages lag or crash during peak times, causing abandoned purchases.
- Heavy images: Galleries or product images aren't resized and weigh down pages.
- Plugin overload: Too many features from plugins slow making and increase conflicts.
- Host limits: Your current server times out or has slow TTFB under modest traffic.

What Affects Website Speed Optimisation Cost in Perth
The cost of Website Speed Optimisation in Perth varies based on several factors:
Site Size & Complexity
Large ecommerce sites with hundreds of products take longer to audit and test. More pages mean more templates to tune and longer QA cycles.
Smaller brochure sites usually need fewer hours and lower overall costs.
Hosting Setup
Shared hosting often needs different tweaks than VPS or managed WordPress plans. Some hosts require coordination or plan changes which affects timeline.
Switching to a more suitable host can be a sensible cost but it adds to the project scope.
Third-party Integrations
External scripts such as marketing trackers or booking widgets can slow pages and sometimes need special handling or async loading.
Removing or restructuring these scripts can reduce load times but may need stakeholder sign-off.
Ongoing Monitoring
One-off fixes are often enough. But some clients prefer ongoing monitoring and monthly tune-ups for sustained performance under growing traffic.
That adds a recurring cost for real-user monitoring and periodic tweaks.

improve Existing Site vs Rebuild: What Perth Businesses Should Know
Choosing between trying to speed up what you've and rebuilding matters when the site structure itself blocks performance. Here are practical points to weigh.
improve Existing Site
Best when:
- Issues are with images, caching or a few slow plugins
- Content and structure are fine
- You need quick wins without big costs
Considerations: You may hit limits if the theme is poorly coded or the CMS has many legacy plugins.
Rebuild or Replace
Best when:
- The theme or codebase is old and unfixable
- Conversions are low and UX needs a full redesign
- Long-term maintenance costs are high
Considerations: Rebuilds take longer and cost more up-front but can deliver bigger, longer-lasting gains.
Our team helps decide which path fits your budget and timeline, and we can run a small audit to estimate expected gains for each option.
