Full optimization of WordPress for page load speed is actually a straight-forward process with the optimization and cahing of all page elements as essential — in the extreme, long page load times can lose visitors, often having a negative impact on conversions, bounce rate and general page SEO. We first check your site using page speed metrics gathered from GTmetrix, Google PageSpeed and YSlow as a baseline. An un-optimized WordPress application may register a score of 60-70 out of 100. We can improve that score as mid to upper 90's using very standard methods. Optimization will typically include the following: attention to above-the-fold CSS While a caching plugin does provide a measure of success, we can provide most of the above optimizations through the theme functions file and the sites htaccess file. Finally, we often do recommend a content delivery network (CDN) as the final level of optimization for mission critical sites, depending on site traffic and recorded visitor locations. A global CDN adds one final distinct advantage, namely, location, as it will ensure a consistent experience for all of your users, allowing visitors from North America, South America, Europe or Asia to download static content from your site using CDN edge-servers closer to the visitors point of origin. CDNs do exist at all price points, from free to enterprise level solutions that can dramatically improve your content delivery issues. We will consult w

Stephen is very professional, timely, creative, has a deep technical knowledge base of site building and gives 110 percent. However, his biggest asset may be his patience and willingness to explain things as he goes. He is a joy to work with and I recommend his services to the utmost.
