Our ServicesPlatform & Support
Cheap shared hosting is the most common cause of a slow site that no amount of optimisation can fix. We select, configure and run hosting that matches your traffic and stack, put a CDN and cache in front of it, and give you staging plus a deployment process so changes stop being made directly on the live site.
Included as standard on every engagement — not an upsell list.
We size the environment against your actual traffic, database weight and plugin load — Kinsta or similar managed WordPress hosting for content and commerce sites, Hostinger where budget is the constraint, static or edge hosting for Next.js front ends — and provision it properly rather than accepting defaults.
A staging environment that mirrors production, one-click push and pull between the two, and a change process where updates and code are tested before release. No more editing theme files over FTP on a live store and hoping nothing white-screens.
Cloudflare in front of the origin with cache rules tuned per route so pages are cached but carts, checkouts and logged-in sessions are not, plus Brotli compression, image and asset delivery from the edge, HTTP/3, HSTS and automated certificate renewal.
Current PHP version with OPcache and sensible memory limits, object caching where the database is the bottleneck, cron moved off the WordPress pseudo-cron, database optimisation, and long-lived asset cache headers. This is the layer most speed work skips entirely.
Automated daily backups held off-site with defined retention, periodic tested restores, and a written recovery plan stating who does what and how long it takes. We document the recovery point and recovery time you are actually buying, rather than implying zero.
Uptime checks from multiple regions, SSL and domain expiry alerts, disk and PHP error monitoring, slow-query logging and Core Web Vitals field data. Alerts route to us so problems are usually being worked before you notice them.
Clean DNS records with correct SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your transactional mail reaches inboxes, transactional email routed through a proper sending service rather than the web server, and domain renewal and registrar hygiene documented in one place.
Stage by stage, with the approval points marked. Web Hosting & DevOps follows the same rhythm on every project.
We benchmark server response time, review the PHP and database configuration, check backup and SSL status, examine DNS and mail records, and identify whether your performance problem is the host, the build, or both.
We recommend a host, plan size and CDN configuration against real requirements, including where the audience is, what traffic peaks look like, and what the site actually needs to run — then agree the migration window and rollback approach.
The new environment is built, the site migrated and tested on a temporary URL, caching and firewall rules tuned, and DNS cut over with lowered TTLs during a quiet period. The old environment stays available until we are certain.
Firewall rules, TLS configuration, backups, cron, object caching and monitoring go on together, then we re-benchmark to confirm the numbers moved and record the new baseline.
Ongoing operations: patching, backup verification, capacity review as traffic grows, cost review as plans change, and a quarterly check on whether the environment still suits the site it is carrying.
The concrete artefacts handed over at the end — files, access and documentation you keep.
If two or three of these sound like your situation, this is the right place to start.
Standard, portable tooling. The licences, accounts and source stay in your name, so nothing here is a reason you cannot leave.
