Website speed optimization and Core Web Vitals

{ speed optimization }

A slow site loses people before they see the first screen. Usually the cause is not the hosting but heavy images, a page builder, dozens of plugins and third-party scripts: chats, pixels, captcha. They can be removed or loaded later.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN
SPEED OPTIMIZATION

{ 01 }

Measurements

We check PageSpeed Insights and real-user data in Search Console, measuring the home page, a service page, a category and a product separately.

{ 02 }

Images

We convert images to WebP or AVIF, serve the right size for each screen and defer everything below the first screen.

{ 03 }

Scripts & plugins

We remove unneeded plugins and load chats, pixels and captcha only when a visitor actually needs them.

{ 04 }

Caching & server

We set up page caching, compression and the PHP version. If the hosting is the limit, we say so plainly and suggest where to move.

{ 05 }

Fonts & styles

Fonts are served from your own server with only the weights you use, and unused styles are removed from the page.

{ 06 }

Before & after report

We show how Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed changed on mobile and desktop, and what else could be improved.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yurii and his company were recommended to us as highly professional specialists for website development and ongoing SEO services. We worked with Yurii to create our website, and we are very happy with the final result. The website turned out modern, professional, high-quality, and user-friendly. I also want to highlight the excellent communication. Yurii always responds quickly, even on Saturdays and Sundays, explains everything clearly, and takes his work very seriously. We had no issues during the process. Everything was completed professionally, in an organized way, and for a very fair price. If you are planning to build a website or grow your business through SEO, I highly recommend Yurii. He is a reliable specialist and a pleasure to work with.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does speed optimization cost?

The cost depends on the platform, the theme and the number of plugins, so we quote it after checking the site. Speed optimization is a one-off job; afterwards speed can be kept in check as part of website maintenance.

Which PageSpeed score do you guarantee?

We do not promise a specific number: the score depends on the theme, hosting and third-party services your business needs. The goal is for the site to pass Core Web Vitals on mobile. We show the result with before and after measurements.

Does site speed affect Google rankings?

Yes, Core Web Vitals are among the signals Google uses. Speed has an even bigger effect on people: visitors leave a slow site before the first screen loads and send fewer inquiries.

Can you speed up a site built with Elementor or another page builder?

Yes, but the ceiling is lower than for a site without a builder. We optimize what is there first. If that is not enough, we suggest moving key pages to a lighter template.

Will the site break during optimization?

We work on a copy of the site, test forms, cart, checkout and the mobile version, and only then move the changes to the live site.

Where is your team based?

Starosta Agency is based in Lviv, Ukraine. We work remotely: calls, email and reports are all in English. Hosting, domain and admin access stay in your own accounts.

About website speed optimization

Website speed optimization is the work of making pages load fast on phones and desktops. We measure load speed, find what slows it down and fix it in the code, the settings and on the server.

Core Web Vitals optimization

Google rates speed with three metrics: how fast the main element appears (LCP), how fast the site responds to input (INP) and whether content jumps while loading (CLS). Google collects this data from real visitors’ browsers.

WordPress speed optimization

On WordPress, speed is usually eaten by a page builder, plugins that load their scripts on every page and unoptimized images. We build WordPress sites ourselves, so we fix these in the theme instead of adding another plugin.

How we sped up our own site

On starosta-agency.com we deferred reCAPTCHA until a visitor opens a form, moved fonts to our own server and cut client logos by almost 1 MB. We use the same techniques on client sites.

How we work

Step	What we do
Step 1	Measure key page types on mobile and desktop, review Search Console data
Step 2	Optimize on a copy: images, scripts, plugins, caching, fonts
Step 3	Test forms and checkout, move to the live site, before/after report
