FAQ`s
Have Questions on
WordPress Optimization?
How long does WordPress speed optimization take?
Most standard optimizations take between one and two weeks. To optimize for Core Web Vitals, we refine performance for several weeks until results are stable.
Do I need a new host or a speed plugin?
If the server responds slowly, no plugin will save it. Move to faster hosting, add caching near visitors, then trim images, CSS/JS, and third-party scripts.
Why doesn’t caching fix everything?
Many pages, like logged-in areas, carts, and checkout, can’t be cached. Slow databases and heavy plugins still run. Improve server resources, clean the database, and reduce plugins from loading on every page.
What access do you need to get started?
We’ll need WordPress admin credentials, FTP or cPanel access, and CDN access if applicable.
Are my plugins and theme the problem?
Often, it’s not the number of plugins, but what they load that’s the issue. Remove unused tools, replace heavy page builders, delay non-essential scripts, and only load features on pages that need them.
Do you work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?
Yes. We regularly optimize sites built with Elementor, Divi, and WPBakery. We reduce unnecessary code output and script bloat without breaking layouts.
Can you work alongside our developer or marketing team?
Yes, we’d be happy to work with your developer or marketing team, and we’ve collaborated with many businesses like this.
What makes PageSpeed Matters different from cheaper WordPress services?
We don’t rely on one-click plugins or automated scripts. We’ve optimized 1,500+ WordPress sites, provide documentation for every change, and operate fully in-house from the U.S.
