Quick answers

What does Website Speed Optimisation fix?

The service finds and fixes what is slowing your website down. The main culprits it targets are oversized images, missing caching and render-blocking code that holds a page up before it can display. If your site has deeper problems with design or layout, look at Website Redesign instead.

How much does speed optimisation cost?

Website Speed Optimisation has a fixed price of £249.00, paid by card at checkout. There are no options to select. If your site is unusually large or complex and you want to check it fits the fixed price first, describe it through Get a Quote.

How will I know my site is actually faster?

You receive a measured before-and-after PageSpeed report, so the improvement is shown in figures rather than taken on trust. That gives you a clear record of where the site started and where it ended up. For wider tracking of visits and enquiries, see our analytics reporting service.

Will my site pass Google's Core Web Vitals afterwards?

Passing Core Web Vitals is the aim of the service, and the fixes target the issues that commonly cause failures. We cannot promise a pass for every site, because hosting, plugins and design choices also play a part. For a fuller technical check, see our SEO audit service.

Will a faster website rank higher on Google?

Speed is one of many factors Google weighs, and faster sites tend to hold on to more visitors. Speed alone will not lift you up the results, so no ranking can be promised. If search position is your main concern, pair this with the SEO Fix Package.

Do I have to be in Manchester to use this service?

No. Our Manchester-based digital team works on websites for businesses across Greater Manchester, including Prestwich, Eccles, Middleton and Ashton-under-Lyne, and anywhere in the UK. Speed work is done online, so location makes no difference. See areas we cover.

What types of business benefit most from a faster site?

Any business whose website brings in sales or enquiries. Ecommerce shops, hospitality venues and local service firms often ask for it because slow pages lose visitors before they buy or book. If you run an online shop, our ecommerce website design page may also interest you.

Asked by buyers 22

Why do oversized images slow a website down?

Large image files take longer to download, especially on a phone connection, and the page cannot finish loading until they arrive. Photos uploaded straight from a camera are a frequent cause. Resizing and compressing them is one of the fixes this service covers, and it often makes a noticeable difference.

What is caching and why does my site need it?

Caching stores ready-made copies of your pages and files so they do not have to be rebuilt or downloaded from scratch for every visit. Without it, your server works harder and visitors wait longer. Missing caching is one of the specific problems this service diagnoses and fixes.

What is render-blocking code?

It is code, usually scripts or stylesheets, that the browser must load before it can show anything on screen. Too much of it leaves visitors looking at a blank page. Sorting out render-blocking code is part of the fix list. For pages built to be lean from the start, see our landing page design.

Is the PageSpeed report something I can keep?

Yes, the before-and-after PageSpeed report is part of what you receive, so you have a record of the measurements. It is useful to share with anyone else who works on your site, and to refer back to if things slow down again later after new content or plugins are added.

How do I order Website Speed Optimisation?

Add the service to your cart and pay by card at checkout through Stripe, which takes Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The team will then need access to your site to diagnose the problems. Other fixed-price services are listed under digital services.

What access will you need to my website?

Fixing speed problems means working on the site itself, so expect to provide admin access and possibly hosting details. The product page does not list exact requirements, as they differ between sites. Get in touch if you want to know what to prepare before ordering.

Does it work on WordPress sites?

The product page does not list which platforms are covered, so check before ordering if your site is built on something unusual. WordPress is a platform WPS works with regularly, as our WordPress website design page shows, but confirm your setup with the team first.

Can I check my site's speed before ordering?

Yes. Run your homepage through Google PageSpeed Insights, which is free, and note the scores for mobile and desktop. That gives you a feel for where you stand. The service then produces its own measured report before and after the work, so you can compare the two properly.

How long does speed optimisation take?

There is no stated timescale for this service, because the work depends on what the diagnosis finds and how your site is built. A site with a few heavy images is a different job from one with lots of conflicting code. Ask the team for an estimate once they have seen your site.

Will my website go offline while you work on it?

The product page does not describe how changes are applied, so ask how the work will be handled on your site if keeping it live during business hours is important. Raise it before you order through Get a Quote so it can be planned around you.

Is speed work cheaper than a full redesign?

Yes, it is the lighter, lower-cost option of the two. Website Redesign rebuilds the whole site, while this service targets the specific causes of slow loading on the site you already have. If the design itself is the problem, the Website Redesign is the better fit.

Can I add speed work to a bundle of digital services?

You can order it alongside other services, and there are bundles that group digital work together. See what is inside the Local Visibility Bundle and the Digital Growth Bundle before deciding whether to buy speed work on its own.

What score will my site reach on PageSpeed?

No specific score can be promised, because hosting, the theme and third-party tools all affect the final number. What you do get is a measured report showing your scores before and after, so the change is clear. Sites with heavy third-party features may need wider changes to score well.

Will a faster site help me get more enquiries?

Faster pages tend to keep more visitors on your site, which gives you more chances to convert them. The service does not promise a set rise in enquiries, since that depends on your offer and traffic. Clear calls to action matter too, and a redesign addresses those.

Why does my site feel slow on a phone but fine on my computer?

Phones often have slower connections and less processing power, so heavy images and blocking code hurt them more. That is why it pays to look closely at the mobile results in the PageSpeed report. Read about mobile website design for more on building for phones.

Will my site stay fast after the work is done?

It depends on what happens next. Adding large uncompressed photos, extra plugins or new tracking scripts can slow a site down again. Keep the before-and-after report as a benchmark and check with Google PageSpeed Insights now and then. If it drifts, the service can be ordered again.

What should I do after my website is faster?

Make the most of the extra visitors you keep. Search work helps more people find the site, and the SEO Fix Package is a sensible next step. For local customers, Google Business Profile Optimisation is worth considering too.

Can you keep an eye on my site's speed long term?

Ongoing monitoring is not part of this fixed-price service, which covers diagnosing, fixing and reporting. If you want regular checks or a longer arrangement, ask the team what can be offered through our contact page.

Is speed optimisation enough if my site looks outdated?

Probably not. Speed work makes the existing site load faster, but it will not change how it looks or how easy it is to use. If visitors are put off by an old design or awkward navigation, a redesign is the better investment. Our website redesign Manchester page explains more.

My website is new. Could it still need speed work?

Yes. New sites can be slow if they use heavy themes, large photos or many plugins. Age is less important than how the site was built. A quick PageSpeed Insights test will show whether there are problems worth fixing before you spend money on promotion.

Who will work on my website?

Our Manchester-based digital team at WEB PRINT & SIGNS LIMITED, a company that has worked in web, print and signs since 2003. Alongside speed work, we build websites and run SEO. Find out more on our about page or see all our services.

I do not have a website yet. Is this the right service?

No, this service improves an existing site. If you need a site built, the Starter Website gives you five mobile-first pages designed to load quickly from day one, and our web design page covers larger projects.
