Speed optimisation Perth

Website speed optimisation that shows in the numbers.

Oria Digital makes slow websites fast — measured against Google's Core Web Vitals field data, not a lab score. Images, fonts, scripts, caching, hosting and plugin bloat are diagnosed first and fixed in priority order, with a before-and-after report. Most WordPress sites can be fixed without a rebuild, from $299 + GST.

Problems this fixes

Fix a slow site, measured against real Core Web Vitals.

  • The site takes four, five, six seconds to show anything on a phone
  • Search Console says the site fails Core Web Vitals
  • PageSpeed Insights is red and nobody can explain why
  • A caching plugin was installed and nothing changed
  • The homepage is fine but every inner page crawls
  • Google Ads landing pages are slow and the cost per click shows it

What’s included

Every speed job starts with measurement. If the honest answer is that the theme or host is the problem, you're told that before you spend anything.

  • Diagnosis against CrUX field data — what real visitors experience, not a lab run
  • Image audit: sizing, format (WebP/AVIF), lazy loading, the one hero image that costs a second
  • Font loading: self-hosting, subsetting, display strategy — usually the cheapest big win
  • Script audit: what loads on every page and whether it needs to
  • Plugin review: overlapping plugins, abandoned plugins, plugins doing what the theme already does
  • Caching and hosting configuration, or a plain recommendation to move
  • Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift and Interaction to Next Paint, each addressed specifically
  • A written before-and-after with the numbers, so you can see what changed

How it works

Speed Optimisation, step by step.

  1. 01

    Measure

    Field data from Google, lab data from Lighthouse, and a waterfall of what actually loads. The three usually disagree, and the disagreement is the diagnosis.

  2. 02

    Prioritise

    The fixes ranked by seconds saved per hour of work. Fonts and images are almost always first.

  3. 03

    Fix

    On staging where risky, live where not. Each change measured on its own so you know what worked.

  4. 04

    Report

    Before-and-after, in plain numbers. Then a watch on it, so it doesn't drift back.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Why is my WordPress website slow?

Almost always one of four causes: too many plugins doing overlapping work, images uploaded at full camera size, a heavy page-builder theme loading scripts on every page, or cheap shared hosting. Less often it's an unoptimised database or an external script. The fix is diagnosis first — measuring what actually loads — rather than installing a caching plugin and hoping.

Does website speed affect Google rankings?

Yes, directly and indirectly. Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking signal, so a site that fails them is at a disadvantage against one that passes. The bigger effect is indirect: slow pages lose visitors before they load, and lost visitors mean fewer enquiries and weaker engagement signals. Fixing speed is usually the highest-return technical SEO work on a small-business site.

Should I rebuild my website or improve it?

Improve it, if the site is structurally sound and the problems are speed, mobile experience, messaging or a weak enquiry path — that's most sites. Rebuild it if the platform is unsupported, the design can't be brought up to standard, or the structure fights what the business now does. A free audit tells you which, plainly, before you spend anything.
