Performance optimisation
Profiling and improving web performance, Core Web Vitals, API latency, database queries and infrastructure efficiency.
Faster pages, faster queries, measured before and after.
6 deliverables, a 4-stage approach and 5 related technologies.
Overview
Performance work without measurement is guesswork. We profile real user journeys, find the few bottlenecks that matter, fix them, and prove the improvement with the same measurements.
Typical wins come from images, fonts and third-party scripts on the front end, and from missing indexes, N+1 queries and missing caching on the back end.
What we deliver
- Baseline measurements (lab and field)
- Prioritised bottleneck list
- Front-end fixes (images, fonts, scripts, rendering)
- Back-end fixes (queries, indexes, caching)
- Before/after report
- Performance budget for CI

Measure on representative devices and networks
- 02
Fix the biggest bottleneck first
- 03
Re-measure after each change
- 04
Add budgets to prevent regressions
Things to consider
Questions worth answering before you commit budget.
- Lab scores and real-user data can differ; both matter.
- Some third-party scripts cannot be removed without business trade-offs.
Technologies and engagement
