LiteSpeed Cache tuning built around Core Web Vitals, not just a "cache everything" toggle.
How do you speed up a slow WordPress site?
Real speed gains come from LiteSpeed Cache configured correctly (page cache, object cache, CSS/JS optimization) plus fixing the underlying causes — oversized images, render-blocking scripts, and bloated plugins — rather than caching alone. Dotance targets Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) directly, not just a generic PageSpeed score.
Caching plugins get installed on most slow sites and the problem persists, because caching hides a slow page load — it doesn't fix one. We configure LiteSpeed Cache's full stack (page cache, object cache via Redis where the host supports it, image optimization, CSS/JS minification and delivery) and then go after the actual bottlenecks: unoptimized hero images, third-party scripts loaded on every page whether they're used or not, and database bloat from years of revisions and transients.
What's included: full LiteSpeed Cache configuration on Hostinger (or your host, if LiteSpeed-compatible), image optimization pass, Core Web Vitals before/after report, and database cleanup.
Common Problems We Fix
I installed LiteSpeed Cache/WP Rocket and nothing got faster.
Default settings only enable basic HTML page caching — CSS/JS delivery, image optimization, and object cache (the gains that actually move Core Web Vitals) are off by default. Fix: full configuration pass, not just activation.
Google Search Console says I'm failing Core Web Vitals.
Usually one of three causes: oversized hero images without dimensions set (CLS), render-blocking third-party scripts (LCP/INP), or no object cache on a database-heavy Elementor page (INP). Fix: diagnose which metric is failing first, then target that specific cause rather than "optimize everything."
My site is fast on desktop but slow on mobile.
Mobile tests against a throttled CPU/network — a site that "feels fine" on a developer's fast desktop can fail badly on mobile 4G. Fix: test and optimize against mobile throttling specifically, not just desktop Lighthouse scores.
Site got slower after I added [X] plugin/widget library.
Every plugin adds its own CSS/JS, often loaded sitewide even on pages that don't use it. Fix: audit what's loading where, remove sitewide loading of assets only needed on specific pages.
Images take forever to load even after "optimizing" them.
Usually images are compressed but still served at full uploaded resolution to a smaller display size, or not served in modern formats (WebP/AVIF). Fix: responsive image sizing + modern format conversion, not just file-size compression.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will caching break my site's dynamic content (cart, login)?
No — LiteSpeed Cache correctly configured excludes dynamic pages (cart, checkout, account) from full-page cache automatically.
What's the difference between page speed and Core Web Vitals?
Page speed is a single load-time number; Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) measure what a real visitor experiences — loading, visual stability, and responsiveness — which is what Google actually uses as a ranking signal.
Do you need server-level access?
Ideally yes (for object cache setup) — but we can achieve most of the gains plugin-side if server access isn't available.
What hosting do you recommend for speed?
We work primarily with Hostinger (LiteSpeed-based, built-in LiteSpeed Cache compatibility) but can optimize on any host that supports server-level caching.
Can you fix speed without touching my design?
Yes — nearly all of this work is backend configuration and asset optimization; visual design is untouched unless a specific element (like an oversized hero image) is the direct cause.
How do I know if slow speed is actually costing me visitors/sales?
Google's own research correlates each additional second of load time with higher bounce rates; a before/after Core Web Vitals report quantifies your specific case rather than relying on general industry stats.
