A 100 Score In Google Pagespeed Insights Is Not The Goal!

We’ve optimized 5000+ sites for speed and Core Web Vitals since we started WP Speed Fix in 2016.

When Google introduced Core Web Vitals (CWV) in 2020 it was a game changer. No longer is guesswork required when it comes to site speed. With Core Web Vitals, Google now tracks the real speed that users are experiencing when they visit your website.

Every Google Chrome Browser and other browsers powered by the Google Chrome “Chromium” engine now collects the load speed of each page on a website and reports it back to Google.

This dataset is know as the Chrome User Experience Report (CRUX) and is what’s used to report on site speed and CWV metrics.

Passing Core Web Vitals Is The Goal

Core Web Vitals is the actual real speed users are experiencing and it makes things like Pagespeed Score and GTMetrix grades obsolete.

In fact it’s possible to have a 100 score on desktop and mobile on Pagespeed Insights and be completely failing the Core Web Vitals Benchmarks.

Site speed is dynamic quality. Each page load will have a different speed depending on the visitors physical location, the load on your hosting at the time, the traffic source the user came from and even the wifi signal strength on their device.

Cheating Pagespeed Scores Won’t Help Pass Core Web Vitals or Your SEO Rankings

Many providers offering site speed optimization will guarantee 100 scores in Pagespeed Insights but this doesn’t mean you’ll pass CWV.

Often these scores are achieved by only partially loading the website and then only loading the rest of the page when the user interacts with it. This almost always gives a 100 score in PSI but it’s essentially cheating the test.

Worse still, this type of cheating can actually make your site slower as it introduces delays into loading heavy elements like javascript tracking and can also ruin your SEO as Google and other SEO crawlers don’t actually see the full version of your website.

Failing Core Web Vitals is hurting your SEO

Google uses CWV as a major ranking factor and as the basis of how fast your website feels to real users.

If your site is failing these metrics, it’s hurting your SEO, user experience, and conversions. Most developers chase PageSpeed Insights scores and completely miss the point—Core Web Vitals is about real user speed, not synthetic tests.

We can help you pass and maintain “good” metrics for all three Core Web Vitals benchmarks.

Our site speed work is focussed solely on getting a pass on Core Web Vitals.

The three Core Web Vitals Benchmarks are:

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

Measures load speed. It tracks how long it takes for the largest visible part of your page (like a hero image or heading) to appear. The benchmark for “good” is 75% or more of your visitors with an LCP time of under 2.5 seconds

LCP can be thought of as how fast the perceived load time of the page is.

Interaction to Next Paint (INP)

Measures interactivity. It shows how responsive your site feels when users click, tap, or interact. A good score is an INP of under 200ms for 75% more of your visitors.

INP can be thought of as how responsive or quick a page is to provide visual feedback to inputs.

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

Measures visual stability. It detects unexpected layout shifts—like buttons jumping around as the page loads. This is a computed metric or calculated number, it’s not a time. Here a passing grade is 75% or more of your visitors with a CLS under 0.1

CLS is bit more difficult to explain but you would have experienced this when you’re on a website about to click on something and the page finishes loading and your mouse is no longer hover over the area you were about to click on.

These metrics reflect real user experience and are a direct ranking factor in Google Search. Passing them means a faster, smoother site—and better SEO and conversions.

TTFB or Time To First Byte is also critical

TTFB. is how quickly your server starts responding to a request and is the foundation of all fast loading sites.

This metric impacts every other metric and a poor TTFB will hurt the other metrics like FCP and LCP.

A “good” time to first byte is considering to be 0.8 seconds or less. TTFB varies greatly depending on the location of the visitor, whether the page is cached at the server and whether you’re using other caching techniques like edge caching. When a site is extremely slow, often there is an underlining issue causing high TTFB.

Poor TTFB metrics can also impact SEO in other ways. If your site is slow to respond to Google and other SEO crawlers, they’ll often timeout and leave your site. SEO rankings are directly tied to your TTFB performance.

How We Can Help You

Our CWV consulting services are designed to identify and fix real performance bottlenecks that impact your CWV scores:

✅ Detailed Core Web Vitals Audit using Google Search Console, CrUX, and field data
✅ Precise Diagnostics of LCP, FID/INP, CLS, and TTFB issues
✅ Real-User Speed Testing across mobile and desktop
✅ Actionable Fixes tailored for your CMS, stack, and theme
✅ Theme & Plugin Optimization without breaking site visuals or functionality
✅ Code & Asset Optimization (JS, CSS, fonts, 3rd party scripts)
✅ Core Web Vitals Recovery Plan based on your actual field data

Whether you’ve been hit by a ranking drop or flagged in Google Search Console, we’ll guide you through a fix that sticks—and doesn’t degrade over time.

Common CWV Problems We Solve

❌ Poor LCP caused by oversized hero images, blocking scripts, or render delays
❌ CLS issues from shifting layouts, fonts, or ads
❌ Long TTFB or INP due to slow hosting, caching problems, or server-side rendering issues
❌ Sites that pass Lighthouse or PageSpeed tests but fail field data audits

If you’re getting mixed signals from tools or your dev team says “your speed is fine” but Google says otherwise, we can cut through the noise.

If your site is failing these metrics, it’s hurting your SEO, user experience, and conversions. Most developers chase PageSpeed Insights scores and completely miss the point—Core Web Vitals is about real user speed, not synthetic tests.

Customer Reviews & Feedback

Jacob W.

Delivered WELL above and beyond what was promised/expectedThey did excellent job and went with me in detail about what they did and how it will help the site in terms of speed and ranking for CLSI am really happy and cant recommend WP Speed Fix enough!Plan to use again!

Dale H.

I’ve gone through about 6 companies that claim they can fix CWV with no success. I was referred to WP Speed Fix by a friend, and not only did they fix my CWV, they made sure my site blew away my competition. I cannot be happier with the results. I was extremely hesitant to hire them at first because of my horrible experiences with other companies, but I am beyond glad I gave them a shot.The bottom line is, if you want your core web vitals fixed, you need to hire these guys.

Yomi A.

Great service. Good customer care. Website Speed result as advertised. Highly recommended.

I operate a continuing medical education company. WPSpeedFix has come to our rescue TWICE and both times has fixed our server / speed / application issues with efficiency and speed.

The whole team is incredibly professional, proactive, and truly know their stuff when it comes to website performance. A special shoutout to Ash — his communication and attention to detail are next level. It's rare to find a team this responsive and invested in helping your site run at its absolute best. Highly recommended!

Geoff W.

I reached out to WP Speed Fix for two websites. Both website were slow, and given that I'm a pro photographer, image quality was of great importance to me. I didn't want a website that was pure text and fast; I wanted a site that looked great and performed very well.Both sites are performing as promised by WP Speed Fix, and Ash went above and beyond for me. Tackling constant issues with my website I cannot say enough good things about WP Speed Fix and the way they stepped up to the challenges.Thank you Ash, I have sincerely appreciated your patience and increasing the speed of sites as promised.

Rachel M.

Brendan Tully and his team are my go-to source for expert SEO and PPC advice. And their hosting and security services cannot be beat. If I could give them more than 5 stars then I would - because they always go above and beyond to make sure the service they provide you far exceeds expectations. For premium website hosting, sustainable SEO practices, and efficient PPC management - there's no one I'd rather work with.

Rival I.

These guys always deliver. Have been using Brendan and the team for 5+ years now, from site attacks to internal web dev issues, these guys are always super quick and get it right. Thanks for saving our ass time and time again aha

Adam D.

Brendan and the team did a phenomenal job of switching over our web hosting.Not only is our site faster and more secure, they also assisted with some other small changes to the site to accelerate our SEO ranking.Highly recommended!!

Alan M.

I'd absolutely recommend WP Speed Fix to anyone wanting to speed up their Wordpress website. We have struggled for years to get our busy site faster, yet within just a week of Brendan and the team working their magic, our site is now lightning fast. Very professional and quick to respond to emails... these guys know what they're doing. Thanks for all the work.

Adam G.

Great results with these folks - many thanks to Brendan and the team!

Allan M.

It's hard to find companies that truly go above and beyond to make sure that you as a customer get what you have paid for nowadays. Brendan and his team did everything they could to make sure I as a customer was satisfied. So much so, that I am now switching my monthly services fully over to them from my current hosting company.Cant recommend Brendan and his team enough as you know that they know exactly what they are talking about and extremely experienced in their field.ThanksAllan!

Anthony L.

A personal approach is generally the best. We were unhappy with the performance of our Wordpress site on another larger Australian site. Brendan and his team made the process of swapping hosting painless (with no downtime), as well as several suggestions for improving performance.

Anika J.

Excellent customer support and very fast switching of hosting service. My site is loading so much quicker and am now receiving my diverted so much quicker than Hostgator. Highly recommend

WP Speed Fix provided us with amazing customer service and completed all tasks on time!I worked with Ash form the WP Speed Fix Team, who is a structured and well organised professional. He was always there when we needed assistance and promptly responded with helpful information, action or guidance to help complete the task at hand.Some time after the work was completed we asked Ash for additional information to help us solve a current issue. Ash promptly responeded and helped us solve the issue by providing guidance. Ash responded quickly and professionaly even though that was not part of the previous project scope!We would definitely recommend working with WP Speed Fix. Professional and on time delivery and a team of experts that provide great customer service!

Imran B.

I worked with Ash with TikTokFollowing.com, originally my site was incredibly slow. He managed to sort out all of my Core Web Vitals whilst educating me along the way. Best WP optimisation service out there, also their after sales support is incredible, It got to the point where I felt bad and wanted to send them more ££ as they done so much work for me and didn't stop until I was pleased. Will be bringing a few more sites your way, thank you WP Speed fix a big 5* to you!

Maxime S.

Wow! I had several previous experience with different companies in order to improve my site speed. Every single time I got answers like: you have too many plugins in your Worpdress installation, you need to cut down in order to improve speed or it is you host provided that is the issue, you should change if you want to get more speed, etc.I was very, very sceptical about WP Speed Fix. But, I must admit Ash for WP Speed Fix went above and beyond in order to improve my site. No excuses, just improvements. He really improve my site to best it could be, did a way better job than any previous company combined.I will most assurely do a once a year maintenance-overlook with WP Speed Fix. Worth every cent. Highly recommended.

Emily C.

Our initial engagement was to help us optimise the speed of our website without compromising its impact. The team were professional and responsive when we first engaged in 2020 and have continued to be so ever since.

Bob B.

These people are amazing! Ash and Brendon have saved my site from a complete disaster. Hire them and pay attention to their suggestions. You will be rewarded far more than their fees!

Gabriela C.

In the digital marketing industry, it’s important to find allies and people who you can rely on if you ever run into SEO problems you can’t solve on your own. WP Speed Fix has been incredible thus far. We have worked on multiple projects together, and they have helped to significantly boost our clients’ website speed. They have provided in-depth, ongoing consulting, to make sure everything was dialed in. Most recently, I asked Brendan about an SEO problem we ran into for one of our clients’ websites and he came back with an incredibly detailed, helpful and most importantly, accurate insight into the problem. I will absolutely be turning to WP speed fix in the future for any technical SEO, and page speed optimization needs.

Chris K

Brendan and Ash are top-notch guys who not only are experts at Wordpress and site speed, but they also know SEO and how site speed plays into it.Brendan got me going and showed me my site's CRUX reports and other things and setup an action plan for me based on what my site was deficient in. Then Ash stepped in and made the plan a reality! He also had a bunch of insights and recommendations that I've never heard before on the various SEO and webmaster blogs.Best of all, my site's scores are all now in the 90 percentile and we still have the CDN to enable! Also, there was no downtime or anything broken on the site like I was expecting. Great job guys! I will be referring you to my friends and business partners.

Paul J.

Professional service, easy to communicate with and they did the job of speeding up our site. Highly recommended.

Matt O.

Joao and the rest of the WP Speed Fix team has delivered stellar results in a timely manner. And admittedly, I probably wasn't the easiest client. I run a blog built off Elementor (notoriously clunky). Even so, Joao took care to investigate a bunch of issues and was patient with me and my many questions along the way.Since I'm located in the US, time zones were a bit of an 'annoyance' , but Joao was quite responsive and at the end of the day, the results they delivered far outweighed any time inconvenience.This has made my life a lot easier, and boy, I found their price point to be a good value. I've already referred a friend to WP Speed Fix -- big thanks to Joao and the team! :)(I voluntarily completed this review and receive nothing in compensation -- I'm just quick to give praise when it's due).

Adrian R.

The WP Speedfix team is absolutely fantastic. They have done an outstanding job optimising my website on multiple occasions, provided expert advice, improved my site’s performance and load time significantly. They are honest, no BS operators who really know their stuff. Highly Recommended!

Grega G.

I worked with Ash who is an amazing guy who quickly made a great plan and helped us fix our site speed. We experienced some issues a few months later after a Wordpress update and he quickly helped us solve those issues. Overall, I'm very satisfied with their service! 🙂

Robert W.

I was really impressed with these guys. I hired them to speed up our website and not only was that done really fast and professionally, but they continued to help me with some slightly unrelated issues that popped up later on. They really helped me out in a bind. I almost never leave reviews, but these guys are solid and deserve it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Matt E.

Stellar customer service. Went on board with them to help with site speed issues and got that, and a lot more!

Ben D.

Great work by Ash would highly recommend very fast response times and great customer service

O H.

Vastly improved the speed of my website. Delighted with the work that was done.

Justin S.

I have been in ecommerce for 20 years. I WISH I had discovered these guys 20 years ago. Don't hesitate signing up with them, they always solve the issue when no one else can. Worth every penny.

jetmir B.

Amazing techniques for better SEO. The video was very clear and well planned.

Jon T.

Unbelievable customer service and a quality hosting solution. My page speeds increased dramatically and I've been helped enormously by these guys. Can't say enough good things about them.

Vikki M.

Very happy with the hosting and service. Prompt and with great communication.

Mother T.

I cannot recommend Brendan and his team highly enough. I was apprehensive about giving access to my website to people I had never met and had only seen their website online. But I had gone as far as my limited skills could take me and definitely needed help. Thank goodness I trusted them because they sped up my alarmingly slow Wordpress website beyond even what I had hoped. I am writing this review with a sincere, heartfelt thanks to them and an assurance for those who read this review that you can trust them completely to help you, too. They will not take advantage of you and you will be very happy with the results.

Julie S.

The WP Speed Fix team has earned my complete confidence and trust! They are the best web-related company I've ever hired for my business. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

Tori N.

We had a website that was loading terribly slowly. WP Speed Fix, and specifically Ash who worked on our site, were incredible. Not only did they increase our speed site over 90%, Ash was patient and knowledgeable, and really went above and beyond for us. Couldn't recommend them more! Thank you!!

Alexander S.

Very helpful knowledgable company with excellent client support, would highly recommend.

Jerred M.

I was having issues with website speed and reached out to Brendan to see if he could help. The process was very simple and easy from the start.Communication was great and his team did a great job.1 week after the job was complete I saw a huge uplift in my organic rankings.Can't recommend Brendan enough.

Marketing L.

Simply an outstanding service that was completely above and beyond any and every expectation. We even had issues months later with errors that were resolved with unbelievable levels of professionalism and expertise. I cannot recommend or thank WP Speed Fix enough.World Class.

Cleland T.

Really impressed with the service we got from Brendan & the team. Great results, easy to work with, fast turn-around. Highly recommended.

Ash from WP Speed Fix went over and beyond in helping me to speed up my website. The process was also very informative so I've learned a trick or two on how to maintain a fast site. I am so impressed by their service so I'll be telling my biz friends all about them and will definitely use them again for other websites. Well worth it. Thanks again Ash.
