A slow website doesn’t always require a complete rebuild. We optimized a website that was struggling with a 3.8-second Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).

The Main Issues

  • Large hero images
  • Inefficient caching
  • Unoptimized image delivery
  • Font-loading overhead
  • Non-critical resources loading too early

What We Changed

  • Optimized critical images
  • Improved CDN caching
  • Optimized Next.js rendering and resource loading
  • Implemented lazy loading for non-critical content
  • Improved font loading and delivery

The Result

LCP: 3.8s → 1.7s

That’s a 2.1-second improvement in LCP and a significantly faster initial page experience.

The goal wasn’t simply to improve a Lighthouse score. We focused on identifying the actual bottlenecks and fixing them at the infrastructure, frontend, and asset-delivery levels.

Before and after performance metrics are shown below.

If your website has a slow LCP, poor Core Web Vitals, or inconsistent performance across different locations, a technical performance audit can help identify the real bottlenecks.
