WordPress Speed & Weekly Maintenance

My WordPress site is lagging and I want it running as quickly and smoothly as possible. The main pain-points are page-load delays and oversized images, so I need thorough front-end optimisation and intelligent image compression that preserves quality while cutting weight. I’m not certain whether any caching plugin is active, so I would like you to audit the current setup first. If nothing is in place, please recommend and configure an appropriate solution (e.g. WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache or similar) and tune it for best results on both mobile and desktop. Beyond the one-off speed improvements, I’d like you to stay on top of the site with ongoing weekly maintenance. That means applying core, theme and plugin updates, checking uptime, clearing logs, and rerunning optimisation routines so performance gains stick. A short status note each week outlining what was done will keep us aligned. Deliverables • Initial speed audit with baseline metrics • Full optimisation focused on load time and image compression • Caching plugin setup or refinement, if required • Written before/after performance report (GTmetrix or PageSpeed Insights) • Weekly maintenance tasks and summary report The job will be considered complete once the site consistently loads within the target speed you propose and the first maintenance cycle has been delivered.
