Website Speed Optimization Urgently Needed

Job ID: 39507615

Budget: £18 – £36 GBP

I have detailed results on why my website is performing slowly, including a full report of the code and images that are causing the issues. I am therefore in a position to objectively understand the service the website developer is providing and the time needed to deliver results.

Here are links identifying the exact issues with highlighting of the code etc that is causing the issues which can be found in experiments:

Without disabling any of the working widgets, including the language translator and the CookieYes widget, and without altering the design or functionality of the website in any way, I aim to resolve the issues (which are clear and detailed, including snippets of the offending code) in the website's page speed results.

I would appreciate regular updates on speed improvements every 4 hours, once each stage is completed, based on the areas I have identified as needing improvement to improve page speed. This will help me understand which areas have seen the most progress, if any.

The areas identified are:

Stage 1. Reduce Page Size:
Minimize HTTP Requests: Combine CSS and JavaScript files, and use cache-friendly image formats. 

Stage 2. Remove Unnecessary Code: Eliminate custom CSS, JavaScript, and code injections that are not essential to your site's functionality.
Stage 2 . Streamline URL Redirects:
Simplify Redirect Structures:
Minimise unnecessary redirects,

Stage 3. Optimise Images:
Compress Images:
Use online tools or image optimisation software to reduce the file size of images without significantly impacting quality. Change Format:
use for JPGs for photos and PNGs for graphics and logos, where appropriate. 

Stage 4. Limit Fonts:
limit different web fonts to two 

All of the above, including the exact number of fonts being wrongly used and the specific troublesome code, are identified in the [experiments] results. Only Montserrat and Lato fonts must be used on the site.

Completion of all four stages, ensuring that when the test is rerun, all issues have been resolved, will result in 100% of the fee being paid.

I would appreciate updates every 4 hours or after each stage is complete, after accepting the job and providing website admin access. I will only entertain 50% deposit requests.
