What are the key things to optimise, how long does it take and what are the costs of my website optimisation service?
1. Hosting
Answer: Ensure you are using a reliable, fast hosting provider with servers located near your target audience.
- Ease: 3/5
- Timescale: 1-3 days
- Costs: Depends Business Hosting with Hostinger is £4.29/pcm if you need to change your hosting package. I charge £30/hr and it should take 1- 2 hours to action the move and configure your new package.
2. Image optimisation
Answer: Compress images, use appropriate formats, and implement lazy loading for faster page loads.
- Ease: 4/5
- Timescale: 1-2 days
- Costs: Depends on number of images but batch conversion speeds things up significantly. Again, I charge £30/hr and it should be about 1 hour’s work to download, convert and upload up to a few hundred images.
3. Caching
Answer: Implement browser and server-side caching to reduce load times for returning visitors.
- Ease: 3/5
- Timescale: 1-2 days
- Costs: Depends on if your current hosting provider has built-in caching (Hostinger does) or you need a premium plugin. This requires a annual fee (WP Rocket is $59 per year). Should take an hour of my time to configure, so £30.
4. Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Answer: Use a CDN to serve static content from servers closest to users’ locations..
- Ease: 3/5
- Timescale: 1-2 days
- Costs: Some hosting providers include a CDN for free (such as Hostinger). Premium services cost about $20/month (Cloudflare). My time would be 1-2 hours at £30/hr.
5. Code optimisation
Answer: Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML; remove unnecessary code and plugins.
- Ease: 2/5
- Timescale: 2-5 days
- Costs: Depends on size of your site and existing optimisations. A premium plugin may be required (most caching plugins include minfying etc). Most sites require 1-2 hours work at £30/hr.
These factors address key areas of website optimisation, balancing impact with ease of implementation. The timescales provided are averages and may vary based on your site’s complexity and your technical expertise.
How much improvement is possible?
Page speed (how quickly your site loads) can have a direct effect on your website’s SEO, user experience and conversion rates. There are various methods of measuring your page speed (along with accessibility, SEO etc). Google PageSpeed Insights is one of the most popular, along with the likes of GTmetrix, Pingdom and WebPageTest.
Ideally, you want your site to load in under 3 seconds on desktop and under 5 seconds on mobile. The slower your site loads the more likely your visitor is to move on to another site.
By optimising your site to achieve a performance score of at least 90%, you are more likely to keep your page speed within the ideal parameters. My website optimisation service can help you reach 90% or higher.
