Software performance
Find what's actually slow, and fix it.
Slow pages, slow queries, slow builds. We measure first, fix what matters most, and show you the difference in numbers.
Sound familiar?
Where performance work starts.

It's slow and nobody knows why.

It gets worse every time traffic spikes.

Our Core Web Vitals are failing.

Our hosting bill keeps going up.
How it works
Measure, then fix.
-
01
Measure
Profiling, query logs, and real-user and lab metrics to find where the time goes.
-
02
Prioritise
A short report ranking fixes by impact and effort, in plain English.
-
03
Fix
Changes shipped in small, tested steps, with before and after measurements.
-
04
Guard
Monitoring and performance budgets so it stays fast after we've gone.
Where we usually look.
Most gains come from targeted fixes, not rewrites.
- Database queries, indexes and N+1 problems
- Caching: application, HTTP and CDN
- Queues and background jobs
- API response times and third-party calls
- Front-end bundle size and Core Web Vitals
- Infrastructure sizing and cost
Questions
What people usually ask.
How long does a performance audit take?
It depends on the size of the system. We'll confirm the time after a first look, before any work is agreed.
Will you need access to production?
Read-only access to metrics and logs is usually enough to start. Anything more is agreed with you first.
Can it be fixed without a rewrite?
Usually, yes. Most performance problems are concentrated in a few places, and fixing those gives most of the gain.
Which technologies do you work with?
Laravel/PHP and Node back ends, Vue and React front ends, MySQL and NoSQL databases.
