A bloated database makes every page slower

The admin and front end feel sluggish even with caching

Years of revisions and junk data have bloated the tables

Plugins left orphaned data behind that nobody cleaned up

How we make your site fast

  1. 1

    Measure the real bottleneck

    We profile the server, database, assets, and rendering path to find what is actually slowing you down.

  2. 2

    Fix it at the source

    We optimise the server, queries, images, and scripts directly, not by stacking another caching plugin on top.

  3. 3

    Prove the gain

    We show before and after Core Web Vitals and real world load times so you can see the difference.

What you get

  • Full speed audit across server, database, and front end
  • Core Web Vitals fixes for LCP, INP, and CLS
  • Image, caching, and CDN configuration done right
  • Database cleanup and query optimisation
  • Before and after performance evidence
  • Revenue focused, not just a vanity score

What changes for you

  • Pages load fast for real visitors, not just in tests
  • Better Core Web Vitals support your Google rankings
  • Faster pages mean more completed sales and leads

Questions, answered

How does the database slow my site?+

Every page runs database queries. When tables are bloated with revisions, transients, and orphaned data, those queries get slow and so does the site.

Is cleaning the database safe?+

Yes, the way we do it. We back up first, then clean junk data carefully without removing anything your site needs.

Will I notice a difference?+

Usually yes, especially in the admin and on dynamic pages. We share before and after query performance.

Is there a contract?+

No lock in. One time cleanup or ongoing maintenance.
