// 01 — Methodology

While 90% of WordPress speed advice focuses on the frontend—compressing images, minifying CSS, adding caching layers—the real bottleneck lives in the backend: bloated databases, unoptimized queries, and autoloaded data that grows with every plugin install. We measure what others ignore, and fix what caching can't.

The Backend-First Approach to WordPress Speed

While everyone else compresses your images, we fix the queries that make your database crawl. While they add another caching layer, we optimize the autoloaded data that bloats every page load. While they sell you a faster host, we tune the one you have.
