More about how I work →Why website speed matters
53% bounce rate
Over half of mobile visitors leave if a page takes more than 3 seconds to load. Speed directly affects how many enquiries you get.
Core Web Vitals
Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor. A faster site ranks higher in search results - improving your visibility without paying for ads.
Higher conversions
Every 100ms improvement in load time increases conversion rates by up to 8%. For most businesses, a faster site pays for itself quickly.
Frequently asked questions
How long does WordPress speed optimisation take?
Most projects are completed within 3-5 working days. I start with a full performance audit, then implement server-side caching, database tuning, image optimisation, and plugin cleanup. Results are typically visible immediately, with Lighthouse scores improving from under 50 to 90+.
Do you work with clients outside Caterham and Surrey?
Yes. I'm based in Caterham, Surrey, but I work with clients across the UK. All web development and WordPress work is handled remotely, so location is never a barrier to getting started.
What makes your websites different from those built with page builders?
I write clean, hand-coded websites instead of relying on page builders like Elementor or Divi. Page builders add 500KB-2MB of unnecessary code. My sites load in under 1 second, score 95+ on Google Lighthouse, and use semantic HTML for better SEO and accessibility.
Do you offer ongoing website maintenance?
Yes. My hosting and maintenance plans include daily backups, WordPress updates, security monitoring, uptime alerts, and monthly performance reports. I proactively maintain your site so issues are caught before they affect visitors.
