Website speed optimisation for faster loads and more enquiries
A one-second delay costs real enquiries, and on a phone on mobile data the delay is usually far worse than one second. I measure what's slowing your site down, fix the things that matter, and show you the before and after instead of asking you to take my word for it.
The problem
Signs your site needs speed work
What you get instead: the page is usable before the visitor loses patience and goes back to the search results.
- It takes more than three seconds to become usable on a phone
- Google Search Console is flagging Core Web Vitals as poor
- The layout jumps about while the page is loading
- Images were uploaded straight from a camera or phone
- The site has accumulated plugins over several years and several developers
- It feels fine on your office wifi and terrible everywhere else
What you get
Speed work that makes a measurable difference
I start with a measurement, fix the largest bottleneck first, and measure again. If a change doesn't show up in the numbers, it doesn't get billed as an improvement.
Vitals
Core Web Vitals, measured the hard way
LCP, INP and CLS captured on a throttled mobile connection before I touch anything, so we work from what your visitors experience, not what your laptop reports.
Images
Images fixed at the source
Correct dimensions, modern formats, real lazy loading and explicit sizing so nothing shifts as the page loads. This alone is usually the single largest win.
Scripts
Render-blocking scripts and CSS dealt with
Deferring what can be deferred, removing what isn't used, and cutting the third-party tags that quietly piled up over the years.
Bloat
Plugin and theme bloat reduced
Most slow sites are carrying features nobody uses. I find what loads on every page for no reason and take it out carefully.
Caching
Caching and hosting done right
Page caching, browser caching and compression configured correctly, plus a straight verdict on whether your hosting is the real bottleneck.
Database
Database housekeeping
Years of revisions, expired transients and orphaned data cleared out, which often makes the admin usable again as a side effect.
Process
How I speed up a site
Baseline and diagnosis
Measured on mobile, with the specific bottlenecks identified and ranked. You see this before any work is agreed.
Fix the big things first
The two or three changes responsible for most of the delay, not a long list of micro-optimisations that look busy.
Tune and verify
Re-measure, then handle the next tier. Every change is checked so nothing visual breaks in the pursuit of a score.
Report and keep it fast
A written before-and-after, plus what to avoid so the site doesn't slowly get heavy again.

What clients say about working with Wayne
Every review below is verified on Trustpilot. All of them are five stars.
After a series of bad experiences with other web developers, working with Wayne was a breath of fresh air. He is very responsive and completes work to a high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend SourceCode to anyone.
Wayne is my go-to developer. He is a genius with coding and everything technical. He will always find a way to make everything work seamlessly, no matter how complicated the request. We have worked together on multiple projects over the years.
Wayne built new websites for me after my old ones had been compromised, and worked around my budget. He was always available to take my calls, and the after-sales support has been incredible.
I have had several dealings with Wayne and SourceCode, all of which have been positive. Wayne is helpful, knowledgeable and gives a speedy response.
These guys know what they are doing. Great service, fast and efficient.
Very pleased with their work. Very knowledgeable, accurate and thorough.

FAQs
Speed Optimisation: common questions
If yours is not here, ask it on the call. You will get a straight answer, including when the answer is no.
5 questions
01How much does speed optimisation cost?
From €150 for a typical brochure site. Larger sites and online shops cost more because there's more to check. You get a fixed quote after the initial diagnosis.
02Will you guarantee a 100 PageSpeed score?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. A perfect score is easy to chase in ways that make the site worse for real visitors. I optimise for real-world load time and Core Web Vitals, which is what Google uses.
03Will this break my site?
Everything is tested before it goes live, and there's a backup to roll back to. Speed work does carry some risk of visual change, which is why it shouldn't be left to a plugin on autopilot.
04Isn't this just a caching plugin?
A caching plugin is one part, and it's usually already installed and misconfigured. The bigger wins are almost always images, scripts and bloat, none of which caching fixes.
05How long does it take?
Most sites are done within a week, and often within a day or two. The diagnosis is quick; how long the fixes take depends on what the diagnosis finds.
Pricing
Build a rough quote in ten seconds
Pick what you need and watch the number move. It's an estimate, not a bill. Every project gets a fixed quote in writing before any work starts, and that number doesn't move once we've agreed it.
What changes the number
- How many pagesA one-page site and a fifteen-page site are different jobs. Most local businesses land somewhere around five.
- One language or twoA bilingual build is roughly a third more work than a single-language one, and on this coast it usually pays for itself.
- Whether the content is readyIf you have the words and photos, we move fast. If you need help shaping them, that's time, and it gets quoted.
- IntegrationsBookings, payments, stock, a CRM or anything that has to talk to software you already use.
- Moving an existing siteMigrating without losing your Google rankings takes care. It isn't difficult, but it isn't free either.
- How bespoke the design isAdapting a proven layout costs less than designing every section from scratch. Both are fine; it depends what you need.
