What Is Page Speed Optimisation & Why It Matters

A website’s page speed score is determined by the amount of time it takes for a webpage to load. A page’s loading speed consists of many factors, like the server of the website, page file size and image compression.

Page speed optimisation is the process of improving how quickly your website loads and how smoothly it runs for real users. It focuses on reducing the time it takes for your pages to become usable by optimising the assets and code that make your site heavy or slow, like images, scripts, fonts .etc.

Speed matters for both SEO and conversions. Search engines want to deliver fast, reliable results, and users expect pages to load quickly. If your site is slow, visitors are more likely to leave before reading your content or making an enquiry.

What Contains Page Speed Optimisation?

Page speed optimisation involves multiple improvements across your website and hosting environment. Below are the main areas we assess and optimise as part of a speed-focused campaign.

Core Web Vitals are user experience metrics that assess real-world page performance. We focus on improving loading speed, responsiveness, and layout stability by reducing render-blocking assets, improving resource loading, and tightening page structure.

The goal is to create a site that feels faster to real users, not just a better “score”.

Large, uncompressed images are one of the most common causes of slow WordPress websites. We optimise images by compressing them, resizing them correctly, converting to modern formats where appropriate, and ensuring images are served efficiently.

This reduces page weight and improves load speed across desktop and mobile.

Caching improves speed by serving stored versions of pages and assets, reducing the work your server has to do for every visitor. We configure page caching, browser caching and object caching to speed up repeat visits and reduce load time.

We also optimise delivery so assets load in an efficient order without unnecessary delays.

Bloated scripts and CSS files can slow down rendering and delay page interaction. We audit and reduce unnecessary scripts, optimise loading behaviour, and minimise heavy frontend assets.

This is especially important for page builder sites where unused scripts can add significant overhead.

Fonts, tracking scripts, chat widgets, review widgets, and third-party embeds can add substantial load time. We review third-party resources, reduce what isn’t needed, and optimise loading such as preloading them so essential elements appear faster.

This keeps the site functional while improving speed and performance stability.

Lazy loading delays off-screen images and media until the user scrolls near them. This reduces initial load time and helps pages feel faster on mobile.

We implement best-practice media loading to avoid slowing down the first screen visitors see.

Over time, WordPress sites collect clutter such as revisions, transients, unused plugins, and bloated tables. Database clean-up and site housekeeping can reduce overhead and improve performance.

We remove unnecessary weight safely and keep the site leaner for better long-term speed.

Sometimes the biggest speed issue isn’t the page, it’s the server. Slow hosting and poor configuration can increase time-to-first-byte (TTFB), especially under load.

We review server response time and recommend improvements such as better caching, PHP configuration, CDN usage, and hosting upgrades where needed.

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) serves your assets from locations closer to your visitors, improving load speed.

We configure CDN delivery where it makes sense for performance and stability.

Simple rules:
It doesn’t work in editor. Preview in Browser for changes!
Add as many accordion items as required.
Every accordion item panel should house only one image!
Open the Elementor Navigator to see the structure and find out required custom class names.
You should define “min-height” of the Inner Section with the custom class name “.ob-img-switcher-wrap” (prevents the adjacent content jumps).
Delete this hidden Text Editor widget once you got the point 🙂

How it works?
Insert any photo from the Media Library to the accordion content panel. That very photo shall become hidden in front-end but visible on-click in the neighbor column.

It’s good idea to make all the images equal size (w/h).

All the required CSS and JavaScript code belongs to Elementor’s Custom Code file, see:

A CDN is an abbreviation of content delivery network. A CDN is a delivery network that servers media to users that are from a different location to your server. It helps save load time by serving the media on a server closer to that location.

The process of minifying CSS & Javascript files is to make the file size smaller to increase load times. You can minify a file by removing blank spaces & lines between code or removing unused code.

Yes, Google includes page speed into their ranking algorithms.

Companies have even said Google will index your page slower if you have slow loading speeds as they don’t want to make it slower with crawlers.

Site speed plays a ranking factor in googles algorithms. If you have a slow website google reduces the number of crawlers it sends to your site.
