    Stop Losing Rankings and Conversions to a Slow Site

    Site speed and technical health audits for existing sites — fixing what's actually slowing you down, not just chasing a Lighthouse score in isolation.

    Why Core Web Vitals Is Rarely a One-Fix Problem

    Most sites we audit don't have one performance problem — they have five small ones that add up: unoptimized images, render-blocking third-party scripts, layout shift from ads or web fonts, no caching strategy, and a hosting plan that's undersized for the traffic.

    We audit against both lab data (Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights) and real user field data where available, since a good lab score doesn't always mean real visitors on real devices are having a fast experience.

    This isn't an isolated audit-and-report engagement — because we also build sites, we fix what we find directly, and because we also run SEO and ads, we know exactly how much a slow site is actually costing you in rankings and conversion rate.

    We target Google's actual field-data thresholds — the 75th percentile of real visits, not a single lab test that doesn't reflect what most of your visitors experience on real devices and connections.

    What You Get

    • Full technical audit against lab data and real user field data, not just a single Lighthouse score
    • Image optimization, script loading, and caching fixes implemented directly, not just reported
    • Layout shift diagnosis and fixes — a commonly overlooked metric that hurts both SEO and UX
    • Hosting and infrastructure recommendations when the platform itself is the bottleneck
    • Before/after performance reporting tied to real business metrics, not just scores
    • Ongoing monitoring available to catch regressions before they hurt rankings or conversions
    • Coordination with your SEO and ads strategy so fixes are prioritized by actual business impact
    • Third-party script audit — flagging what's actually earning its render-blocking cost
    • Responsive image serving and modern format conversion for image-heavy e-commerce pages
    • Prioritized fix order so you see improvement early, not just at project completion
    • Google Search Console field-data monitoring, not just periodic Lighthouse snapshots

    Is Core Web Vitals Optimization Right for You?

    This is a good fit if

    • Your site is slow, or Search Console is flagging Core Web Vitals issues
    • You're losing conversions to load time or layout shift, especially on mobile
    • You want fixes implemented, not just a report of what's wrong
    • You have an existing site — this service is for optimization, not new builds

    This might not be for you if

    • You're building a new site from scratch — that's WordPress/Shopify/Web App Development instead
    • Your site is already fast and Search Console shows no Core Web Vitals issues
    • Your traffic problem is discovery/indexation, not speed — that's a technical SEO issue first

    How We Approach Core Web Vitals

    The same audit-first, senior-led process we use across every web development engagement.

    1

    Full Technical Audit

    We test against lab and field data across your key pages, not just the homepage.

    2

    Prioritize by Impact

    We rank fixes by expected impact on rankings and conversion, not just ease of implementation.

    3

    Implement

    We fix issues directly — image optimization, script loading, caching, layout shift — rather than handing you a report.

    4

    Verify & Monitor

    We re-test in production and offer ongoing monitoring to catch future regressions early.

    What Core Web Vitals Optimization Costs

    $1,500–$7,000, project-based

    What affects where you land in that range:

    • Number of issues found and whether fixes are front-end, content, or platform-level
    • Site size — number of templates/page types needing separate diagnosis
    • Whether hosting or infrastructure changes are part of the fix
    • One-time fix vs. ongoing monitoring retainer

    We scope every engagement after a free growth audit — no generic package pricing before we've seen your actual site data.

    Common Core Web Vitals Problems We Fix

    • Unoptimized images serving full-resolution files to every visitor regardless of device

    • Render-blocking third-party scripts (ads, chat widgets, analytics) delaying page load

    • Layout shift from ads, embeds, or web fonts loading after the page has already rendered

    • No caching strategy, forcing the server to rebuild every page on every visit

    • Hosting plans that were sized for a much smaller site or lower traffic volume
