Performance audit
Core Web Vitals, including INP responsiveness, measured on real-user data, not just a single Lighthouse score in isolation.
What's included
Fixes aimed at the actual cause, not just the score
Accessibility audit
Checked against WCAG standards using both automated tools and manual keyboard and screen-reader testing.
Asset & code optimization
Images, fonts, scripts and markup fixed at the source rather than papered over with a caching layer.
Before-and-after reporting
A clear record of what changed and what it actually improved, not just a claim that it's faster now.
Overview
Speed and accessibility usually break for the same reasons
Bloated JavaScript, unoptimized images, and markup that isn't semantically structured tend to hurt both performance and accessibility at once, which is why we treat them together rather than as separate audits. A site that's fast for a mouse user on fiber is often also easier for someone on a screen reader or a slow connection.
We audit against Core Web Vitals and WCAG standards, fix what's actually causing the problems (not just the symptoms a Lighthouse score flags), and hand back a clear before-and-after account of what changed. Most of this work happens without a full redesign, since the underlying cause is usually implementation, not the visual design itself.
Two things have raised the stakes. Accessibility is now a legal requirement for many sites selling into the EU under the European Accessibility Act, and AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews skip pages they can't load and parse quickly. The same fixes help with both, so every audit now includes a check of what AI crawlers can see.
Questions
Common questions about performance and accessibility work
5 questions
What's a realistic performance improvement?
Depends heavily on the starting point, sites with genuinely unoptimized images or excessive JavaScript often see substantial gains. We'll give you a specific, honest estimate after the audit rather than a generic number upfront.
Do you test against WCAG AA or AAA?
AA is the standard we work to by default, since it's the level most legal and organizational accessibility requirements reference. We can work toward AAA on specific pages if that's a requirement for your organization.
Does this cover the European Accessibility Act?
Yes. The EAA points to WCAG 2.1 AA, which is what we test against, and we'll write the accessibility statement it expects. For a full audit-and-fix programme across a large site, see our Accessibility & WCAG Compliance service.
Can you fix performance without a full redesign?
In most cases, yes. Performance problems are usually implementation issues, unoptimized images, unnecessary scripts, poor loading strategy, rather than something that requires changing how the site looks.
Do you provide a report we can show stakeholders?
Yes, a clear before-and-after report covering what was found, what was fixed, and the measured impact, useful for internal reporting or client-facing accountability.
