The three numbers Google grades you on
Most Western New York sites we test score in the 30s on mobile — four or five seconds of blank screen before anything appears. Google measures that same experience and uses it as a ranking signal. These are the marks we work toward.
| Metric | Target | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Largest Contentful Paint | Under 2.5s | How fast the main image or headline appears. |
| Interaction to Next Paint | Under 200ms | How fast the page reacts to a tap. |
| Cumulative Layout Shift | Under 0.1 | How much the page jumps while loading. |

How it works
1. Free audit
We test your URL and tell you what is slowing it down, plus the score we can realistically reach.
2. The fix
Work happens on staging (WordPress) or a duplicate theme (Shopify), so your live site never breaks.
3. Proof
We re-test, publish, and send the before-and-after scores in writing. Flat fee, no surprises.
WordPress and Shopify, handled differently
WordPress
Caching, image delivery, deferred CSS and JS, plugin and database cleanup, fonts and CDN — done on staging, then published.
Shopify
App and script audit, theme and liquid cleanup, lazy loading and image formats — all on a duplicate theme so the live store keeps selling.

Questions, answered
How much does website speed optimization cost in Buffalo?
Flat $795 for a WordPress site, $1,095 for a Shopify store. The audit is free and there is no retainer.
How long does it take?
5 to 7 business days from the moment we get access.
What score will my site get?
Most WordPress sites move from the 30s-50s into the 85+ range on mobile; Shopify stores typically gain 20 to 40 points. We give you the realistic target after the free audit, before you pay.
Will faster pages help my Google rankings?
Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking signal, and slow pages lose visitors before they load. Speed will not outrank stronger content, but slow pages actively cost you rankings and sales.
