How can you help speed up my website's page load time?

We start by measuring, because the cause of a slow site is rarely where it is assumed to be. Then we tune the stack your site actually runs, from the web server and PHP to caching and the database, sized to your load pattern rather than to generic advice.

Does this sound familiar?

• Slow performance under moderate load
• Unpredictable behaviour under high load
• One overloaded site taking every site on the server down with it
• No clear upgrade path, so hardware gets bought in the hope it helps

What we look at

For cPanel and Plesk servers the starting point is LAMP stack tuning, which is part of managed hosting. For sites that need more, we design a high-performance web tier with nginx or LiteSpeed, Varnish, PHP-FPM with OPcache, Valkey or Memcached object caching and a tuned MariaDB. The method is described under performance audits.

We work with the platforms most sites run on, including WordPress, Magento, PrestaShop, Drupal and Joomla.
