A fast, responsive website is essential these days, both for the user experience and for ranking well in search engines. Our WordPress and WooCommerce speed optimisation service helps you get the most out of your shop’s performance, improving load times and making the whole experience smoother.

What the service includes:

  1. Plugin review and optimisation
    • We go through every plugin in use and remove the ones you do not need.
    • We replace slow, resource-hungry plugins with better, lighter alternatives.
    • Where useful, we make plugins load only on the specific pages that need them.
  2. Theme and function optimisation
    • We cut back unnecessary theme functions and elements.
    • We optimise CSS, JavaScript and other theme-related files.
  3. Image optimisation
    • Every image is optimised and converted to the modern, efficient WebP format.
    • We make sure images load only when they are needed (lazy loading).
  4. External asset optimisation
    • We optimise how external resources load, such as Google Fonts and third-party scripts.
    • We reduce the number of DNS lookups and connections.
  5. Database optimisation
    • We clear out records that slow things down, such as transient and expired data in the wp_options table.
    • Where needed, we add database keys and indexes to improve performance.
  6. Cache configuration
    • We implement and configure effective caching for the site, both server-side and in the browser.
  7. Removing bloat
    • We stop Gutenberg and other unused systems from loading their files when they are not needed.
    • We look critically at plugins and extra functionality and strip out what is not being used.
  8. PHP version upgrade
    • We check the PHP version and upgrade it where necessary, so it is the fastest option and properly suited to WooCommerce.
  9. Server configuration recommendations
    • We give specific recommendations for improving server settings, including raising memory limits and enabling HTTP/2 and GZIP compression.
  10. Testing and measuring the results
    • We measure the results using Google PageSpeed Insights and Pingdom.
    • We share the before and after scores along with an explanation of the changes made.

What else you get:

  • Clear communication and recommendations for managing the site going forward.
  • Documentation of every change made.
  • A consistent maintenance plan, so the results last.

 

The result:
Your WordPress and WooCommerce site becomes faster, lighter on resources and easier to use. Better performance improves your SEO results, increases conversions and gives your customers a smoother buying experience.

 

The service is ideal for businesses that want a faster website and want to stay competitive in a digital market.

Frequently asked questions

How much does this cost?

This job typically takes around 8 hours, which works out at roughly 400 € + VAT. We’ll give you the exact price after a free assessment – and if the job turns out smaller, you pay less.

How quickly can you start?

We usually pick up smaller jobs within 1–3 working days. If your site is down or it’s a security incident, we start the same day – just say so when you write.

What if the job takes longer than expected?

If it turns out the scope is growing, we get in touch and agree it with you before carrying on. You’ll never receive an invoice for something that wasn’t discussed beforehand.

Do I have to move my site to you?

No. We do the work where your site already lives. All we need is access to the WordPress admin and usually to the hosting as well.

Is a backup made before the work?

Yes, always. Before any change we take a copy of the files and the database, so it can be rolled back in seconds if needed.

What our clients say

Long-standing partnerships say more than any slogan. Several of the clients below have been with us for over seven years.

We have worked with Birk for eight years now. This time we wanted a new website for the company, and the goals were set high from the very start – in visuals, functionality, manageability and SEO. Thanks to Birk’s professional approach we got a website of a high standard that met our expectations 100%. The collaboration went smoothly because Birk is a very good and direct communicator, helpful, dependable and conscientious.
