questions

FAQ

How much faster will my site be?

Most sites I optimize see PageSpeed scores jump 40–50 points and load times cut by half or more. Exact gains depend on your current setup, but you always get measurable before/after numbers.

Will this break my site or change my design?

No. I work on a staging copy with a full backup, and your design stays exactly as-is. You approve the result before anything goes live.

How long does it take?

A standard speed optimization is usually done in 3–5 days. Larger or WooCommerce sites may take a little longer.

Do you work with Elementor, Divi, and WooCommerce?

Yes — page builders and WooCommerce are common sources of bloat, and I optimize all of them.

What do you need from me?

WordPress admin access, plus hosting or cPanel access if available. That is it — I handle the rest.

Do you guarantee results?

I guarantee measurable improvement on real metrics (PageSpeed, Core Web Vitals, load time). If a site is already fully optimized, I will tell you upfront.
