"Matt and the PageSpeed Matters team successfully helped us improve our page speed load times and get our core web vitals into the green."

Project Overview
Therapevo needed a faster, more stable website to support clients who rely on the site for therapy information and booking. Their WordPress setup had performance issues affecting loading speed and real user experience, which made it difficult to maintain strong rankings in search and provide a smooth browsing experience. We ran a complete Core Web Vitals audit, identified the issues slowing the site down, and handled the full implementation. This included improving loading behavior, optimizing assets, cleaning up scripts, and refining how key templates were structured. We worked directly with the owner throughout the entire process to ensure all improvements aligned with their goals.
Therapevo wanted the site to load faster and pass Google's Core Web Vitals to support both user experience and overall search visibility. The site suffered from slow loading, layout shifts, and poor responsiveness.
