Why WpFASTER? Because NO ONE Else Does What We Do
Unlike our competition, we do not install a few plugins and call it a day. We also do not lie to you and sell you on artificial ‘Load Times’ that have absolutely nothing to do with what your site’s real users are actually experiencing. Further, we do not sell you grades on general best practices suggestions tools that do not correlate with your site’s real-world performance, rope you into services you do not need, or, manipulate you into a sales funnel designed to bamboozle you into ultimately paying ten times more than you thought you were going to.
Instead, through a painstaking process of testing numerous different performance configurations, we make your WordPress-powered website as fast as it can possibly be for your site’s real, human users.
The end result of our work is a custom-made, real-world, results-oriented performance architecture that is robust, self-maintaining, self-evolving and as automatic as possible so you can move on with the business of publishing content.
And, once your Complete WordPress Speed Optimization project is complete, it will literally be impossible for your website to be any faster.

“PageSpeed Insights does not take physical measurements. Use it to find ways to improve your site for users, don’t see it as the final goal.”John Mueller: Senior Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google on the PageSpeed Insights Tool
There is a truly mind-numbing amount of misinformation, disinformation and self-perpetuating Internet mythology concerning what Google cares about most when it comes to performance. So much so that the layperson stands no chance of sorting it out by themselves. So let’s clarify:
- It is not a site’s Load Time
- It is not a website’s PageSpeed Insights grades
- It is not a website’s scores on any best practices suggestions tool or artificial ‘speed test’ like Pingdom, GTmetrix (etc.) and nowhere does Google say that it is. Quite the contrary, in fact.
What Google wants, because it is what your website’s users want, is an optimal User Experience. Simply stated, the user’s perception of speed is the by-far-and-away most important performance characteristic. This is, of course, why Google is so adamant about optimizing above-the-fold content and why Google so highly favors websites that have implemented Progressive Rendering to the fullest extent possible. What Google cares about, because it’s what your site’s users care about most, is real-world performance:
Said differently: the performance metrics Google cares about most and therefore those WpFASTER focuses on most are the user-centric performance metrics that combine to form the perception of blazing fast speed. These real-world performance metrics include:
TTFB (Time to First Byte);
Start Render Time;
Time to Above-the-Fold Visual Completion;
First Paint Time;
domContentLoaded Time;
Time to Interactive;
Core Web Vitals;
And — Most Importantly — Google’s Real-World Speed Index, the Primary, User-Centric Performance Metric we are After Improving.
(Note: Certain things can skew the Speed Index; above-the-fold animations and advertisements, as two examples. In such instances, our primary objective is improvement to First Paint and Start Render metrics.)
“Onload is not the best metric for measuring website speed […] What we’re after is a metric that captures the user’s perception of when the page is ready.”Steve Souders: Former Head Performance Engineer at Google
These metrics are the building blocks of perceived speed, and all of them correlate to SERPs rankings and improved UX (User Experience).
WpFASTER optimizes — to the fullest extent possible for your property — not some, but all of these real-world, user-experience-centered performance metrics. And Load Time too!
“The metrics that matter the most are the ones that represent real user experiences.“Philip Walton: Engineer at Google working on the Web Platform
“Okay, I get it, but how much faster can you make my WordPress site,” you ask?
The Short Answer: A Lot Faster!
The Short Answer: A Lot Faster!
