Performance optimization services

Beyond page speed: frontend, backend, and delivery optimization so product and marketing surfaces stay fast under real traffic.

Problems

What problems does performance optimization solve?

Frontend bottlenecks

Hydration cost, large bundles, and render-blocking resources tank interaction readiness.

API latency

Slow endpoints make an otherwise pretty UI feel broken.

Database and cache misses

N+1 queries and cold caches collapse under campaign spikes.

CDN misconfiguration

Assets and HTML cache rules fight each other — or never get set.

No performance budget

Every new feature adds weight with zero regression gates.

Process

Our performance optimization process

01

Profile

Lab metrics, traces, bundle analysis, and server timings on critical journeys.

02

Budget

Agree targets for LCP, INP/TBT proxies, TTFB, and payload sizes.

03

Optimize

Code-splitting, caching, query fixes, image/CDN pipelines, and selective SSR/ISR where useful.

04

Validate

Re-measure under realistic conditions; document wins and remaining ceilings.

05

Guardrails

Budgets and checks so the next release doesn’t erase the sprint.

Product feel

Snappy apps improve retention and support load as much as SEO.

FAQ

Performance Optimization — frequently asked questions

How is this different from website speed optimization?

Speed optimization focuses on marketing-site Core Web Vitals. Performance optimization goes deeper into apps, APIs, and delivery — often after or alongside a speed sprint.

Do you optimize React and Node apps?

Yes. Bundle strategy, rendering patterns, caching, and backend profiling are core to our full-stack work.

Can you help Shopify or WordPress at this layer?

Yes for theme/app performance and hosting/CDN. Deep platform core limits may require redesign or replatform recommendations.

Will you set up monitoring?

We recommend and can implement basic RUM/uptime and error monitoring as part of the engagement.

How do we start?

Run a free Website Speed Test for public pages, then book a performance discovery for app/API surfaces.

Is this a retainer or a project?

Usually a fixed-fee sprint with optional follow-on support. Continuous budgets fit teams shipping weekly.

Does performance help SEO?

Yes — especially CWV and crawl efficiency — but we treat UX and conversion as equal reasons to invest.
