Speed optimization and WordPress technical SEO

I review what is affecting the loading and performance of your WordPress site and apply improvements based on the existing architecture and technology.

I also work on the technical and structural elements that help search engines understand and crawl the site correctly.

Let's review your speed and SEO

Send me your website URL and the problem you have noticed: slowness, Core Web Vitals, indexing or structure.

I will do a first review of your website before replying.

Audit first

Optimize with data, not with random plugins

Installing a caching plugin or turning on every optimization option does not always improve a website. Sometimes it even breaks features or makes the experience worse.

Before changing anything I measure the starting point and review what is really slowing the site down: images, scripts, plugins, the theme, the page builder or the server setup.

For technical SEO I do the same: I review how pages are organized, how they are crawled and indexed and what information search engines receive.

With that audit I apply the improvements with the most impact that are compatible with how the site is built.

Does your website need optimizing?

These are some common signs that the performance or technical foundation of your WordPress site needs a review.

  1. Slow loading on mobile

    Pages take several seconds to appear on phones, right where a large share of your visitors are.

  2. Core Web Vitals in the red

    PageSpeed Insights or Search Console show LCP, INP or CLS problems you do not know how to fix.

  3. Too many plugins

    Plugins that load scripts on every page, overlap with each other or that nobody knows what they are for anymore.

  4. Pages that are not indexed

    Important content that does not appear on Google or coverage warnings in Search Console.

  5. A messy structure

    Poorly structured headings, unclear URLs or an architecture that makes the site hard to understand.

  6. No structured data

    The site does not give search engines structured information about the business, services or content.

Two areas that work together

Performance

Speed optimization and Core Web Vitals

I review what is affecting the loading and performance of the site and apply improvements based on the existing architecture and technology.

The work can include optimizing assets, caching, scripts, images, plugins and technical settings with tools such as WP Rocket and Perfmatters when they suit the project.

Speed up my website

Technical SEO

WordPress technical SEO

I work on the technical and structural elements that help search engines understand and crawl the site correctly.

It can include site architecture, semantic hierarchy, headings, crawlability, indexing, metadata and Schema Markup depending on each project.

Review my technical SEO

What does optimizing your WordPress site include?

Depending on the audit, the work can focus on performance, technical SEO or both.

  1. 01

    Performance audit

    I measure the current state with tools such as PageSpeed Insights and review which assets and processes are slowing it down.

  2. 02

    Images and assets

    I optimize formats, sizes and lazy loading of images, fonts and other heavy assets.

  3. 03

    Caching and configuration

    I set up caching and optimizations with tools such as WP Rocket or Perfmatters when they fit the site.

  4. 04

    Scripts and plugins

    I review what loads on each page, remove what is unnecessary and reduce the impact of plugins and third-party scripts.

  5. 05

    Architecture and semantic hierarchy

    I organize the page and heading structure so content is easier to understand for users and search engines.

  6. 06

    Crawlability and indexing

    I review the sitemap, robots, internal links, canonicals and indexing so Google can reach the important pages.

  7. 07

    Metadata and Schema Markup

    I prepare titles, descriptions and structured data based on the type of site and its content.

  8. Is your website slow?

    I want to optimize my WordPress site

What sets it apart

Optimization with a developer's judgment

Because I also design and build WordPress sites, I understand how the theme, the page builder and every development decision affect final performance.

That makes it possible to go beyond surface-level tweaks and fix the root of the problems when it lies in how the site was built.

Always taking care not to break features or the design while optimizing.

  1. 01

    Before and after measurement

    Every change starts from an initial measurement and is checked at the end to see what has improved.

  2. 02

    Compatible changes

    Optimizations are adapted to the technology of the site and tested so they do not affect how it works.

  3. 03

    Clear explanation

    I explain what was changed and why, without unnecessary jargon, so you understand the state of your website.

From the first measurement
to a faster website

Measuring before and after shows what has worked and avoids making changes blindly.

  1. 01

    We measure the starting point

    We review speed, Core Web Vitals, indexing and the technical structure of the site as it is today.

  2. 02

    We find the causes

    I identify which assets, plugins, settings or structural problems are affecting the site.

  3. 03

    We prioritize improvements

    We order the actions by impact and risk to start with what adds the most.

  4. 04

    We apply the optimizations

    I make the performance and technical SEO changes, working in a staging environment whenever possible.

  5. 05

    We measure again

    We compare the results with the initial measurement and check that everything still works properly.

  6. 06

    Follow-up

    If the project requires it, we continue with maintenance and new improvements as the site evolves.

Clear expectations

What you can expect from optimization

Optimization improves the speed and technical foundation of your website, but it is worth knowing what to expect from it.

I prefer to explain it from the start so decisions are made with real information.

  1. Measurable improvements

    Changes are compared with the initial measurement to see their effect on speed and Core Web Vitals.

  2. No magic scores

    The result depends on hosting, theme and plugins. I do not promise a 100 on PageSpeed, but real improvements.

  3. A foundation for ranking

    Technical SEO prepares the site to rank, but it does not replace a content strategy.

  4. Summary of the work

    When we finish you will know what was changed, what was achieved and what is still pending, if anything.

I can support your agency with speed optimization and technical SEO for your clients’ WordPress sites.

I can also review projects before launch to avoid performance or indexing problems.

Questions about
speed & technical SEO

Can you get a 100 on PageSpeed Insights?

I do not promise a specific score, because it depends on the hosting, theme, plugins and content of each site. The goal is to improve real speed and Core Web Vitals in a measurable way.

Which tools do you use to optimize?

It depends on the site. I work on images, scripts, caching, plugins and technical settings, and I use tools such as WP Rocket or Perfmatters when they suit the project.

Can optimization break something on my website?

Some optimizations can affect features if applied without checking. That is why I test every change and, whenever possible, work in a staging environment before publishing it.

Does technical SEO include ranking work?

Technical SEO prepares the foundation of the site: structure, crawlability, indexing, metadata and structured data. A content strategy or ongoing ranking work requires additional scope.

Can you optimize a website built with Elementor?

Yes. I work with Elementor, Bricks Builder and WordPress sites built with other tools, adapting the optimization to each technology.

How long does it take to see the effect on Google?

Speed improvements can be measured as soon as they are applied. Search Console data and indexing changes usually take a little longer to show.

Can I hire only speed optimization?

Yes. You can hire performance only, technical SEO only or both, depending on what your site needs.
