Performance

Pass Core Web Vitals for real.

LCP, INP and CLS fixes that hold up in Search Console — not just one good Lighthouse run.

Core Web Vitals are the only performance metrics Google actually ranks on. Lighthouse scores are useful for diagnosis, but the number that matters lives in Search Console and is drawn from real Chrome users over a 28-day rolling window. If 75% of your visits don't hit Good on LCP, INP and CLS, you fail — and on competitive search terms that failure costs you positions.

The good news is that on WordPress and WooCommerce the failures are usually predictable. Hero images shipped at 3000px wide. Render-blocking JavaScript from page builders. Third-party tags loaded before the page can paint. Layout shifts from web fonts, ads, or images without explicit dimensions. None of these are exotic problems and all of them have known fixes.

What separates a real Core Web Vitals project from a one-off Lighthouse polish is that we measure field data, not lab data. We pull CrUX history, segment by device and connection, identify which URLs are dragging the origin average down, and prioritise fixes by impact. A homepage that gets 60% of your traffic gets attention first; a buried PDF landing page can wait.

The work is detail-driven. Preload the LCP image. Inline critical CSS. Defer or remove unused JavaScript. Reserve space for images, ads and embeds. Move chat widgets and analytics behind requestIdleCallback. Replace bloated sliders with CSS-only equivalents. Switch fonts to font-display: swap with size-adjust descriptors. Each change moves the needle a little; together they move the needle a lot.
