WPArena historically sold this as a $149 optimization package (CSS/JS minify, cache, CDN setup, database cleanup, and updates). The 2026 service is a measured performance engagement at $299.
What is included
- Baseline measurements of the pages or actions you name.
- A written scope before changes: caching, images, scripts, database, or server response.
- Implementation of the agreed items and a repeat of the same tests.
- A short report of what changed and what still needs hosting or code work.
What is not promised
No guaranteed PageSpeed score, search ranking, or “fastest site” claim. Checkout, accounts, and other personalized flows are treated carefully so a cache change does not break them.
After payment, send the public URL, host, and the slow pages. Do not include passwords in the order.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know the site actually got faster?
Because the same tests run before and after. Baseline measurements are taken first, the agreed work is applied, then the identical tests are repeated and you get a short report of what changed. No before-and-after numbers, no claim of improvement.
Which numbers do you optimize for?
Field-relevant ones: Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, and server response time. A green synthetic score on an empty homepage is not the goal, and we will say so if that is what a tool is rewarding.
Can you fix a slow site on cheap shared hosting?
Partly. Caching, image handling, script loading, and database cleanup all help regardless of host. But if the server’s own response time is the bottleneck, the honest answer is a hosting change, and we would rather tell you that than sell more tuning.
Will you install a caching plugin and call it done?
No. Caching is one item on a list that also covers images, render-blocking scripts, database bloat, plugin overhead, and the theme’s own templates. Which of those we touch depends on what the baseline measurements point at.
Does this include ongoing performance monitoring?
No. This is a measured, one-time engagement. If you want the numbers watched over time, that belongs with the Maintenance service or your own monitoring.
