Performance work on sites and applications

We optimise websites, shops and web applications so that they run quickly. We look for the real cause of a performance problem, because a small change to how an application works can cut load times considerably.

01 benefits

Speed starts with the right solution

Not every slow site needs more cache. Before optimising anything we look for the source of the problem and work out what is actually holding the application back. Sometimes fixing one database query, changing how data is processed or simplifying a mechanism is enough for a large gain.

We also look at Core Web Vitals and at what the user actually experiences. Speed is not a score in a tool to us, but one part of the quality of the whole application.

  • Finding the cause of the problem
  • Optimising the code and the mechanisms
  • Optimising queries and database work
  • Faster pages and views
  • Core Web Vitals analysed and improved
  • Monitoring and verified results
02 services

What can you hand to our team?

We support online shops, web applications, B2B platforms and SaaS products across everything technical. We build new features, handle day-to-day changes, technical maintenance, monitoring, performance work and support for business and marketing teams.

We ship new features, integrations and automation that support sales.

We diagnose and remove bugs, outages and problems with the shop.

How does working together look?

Stage
What we do
What you get
01

Audit and takeover

We review the system architecture, the quality of the code, the infrastructure, the deployment process, the integrations and the technical risks.

  • A clear plan
  • A safe takeover
02

Monitoring and hardening

We set up monitoring of performance, application errors, certificates and the business-critical processes. We also harden the infrastructure, add threat detection and put backup procedures in place.

  • More security
  • Less downtime
03

Ongoing maintenance

We handle day-to-day requests, updates, bug fixes and technical support. Every task lands in a system you can see into, so you always know what we are working on and where it stands.

  • Fast help
  • A clear status
04

Development and optimisation

We build new features, integrations and automation, improve the UX and ship the changes that support sales and day-to-day efficiency.

  • Better UX
  • New possibilities
05

Scaling and long-term support

We look at how resources are used, optimise the architecture and fit the environment to what you need now. We help prepare the platform for more traffic, new sales channels and further growth.

  • Steady growth
  • Long-term support
04 faq

Questions we hear often

Can every slow site be made faster?

There is usually something that can be improved, but the answer is not always one simple change. We review the application, identify the bottlenecks and match the optimisation to the particular problem.

Is adding cache enough?

Not always. Cache can improve performance considerably, but it should not be the automatic answer to every problem. If the application is slow without cache, it is worth finding the cause first - otherwise we only hide the problem instead of solving it.

What if cache is already in place and the site is still slow?

Then it is all the more worth looking at what is going on underneath. Performance problems that survive cache usually mean the source lies in the code, the database queries, the way data is processed or some other part of the application.

What are Core Web Vitals?

Core Web Vitals are a set of Google metrics that help judge a page’s speed, visual stability and responsiveness. We treat them as an important part of assessing performance, but we do not optimise a site for the score alone.

Does a high PageSpeed score mean the site is fast?

Not necessarily. The score is a useful reference point, but how the site behaves in real conditions - and how quickly someone can actually use it - matters just as much. So we look at the metrics and at the real behaviour of the application.

Can a small change really speed up an application?

Yes. Performance often comes down to single mechanisms, queries or operations that run over and over. Changing one of them can cut the work done considerably and shorten the response time of the whole application.

Do you optimise e-commerce as well?

Yes. We optimise online shops, including those built on WooCommerce and PrestaShop. We look at page load times, database queries, how plugins and modules behave and the effect integrations have on the shop.

How can I tell whether working with DOCK is right for me?

The best way is a short call.

We will get to know your business, your current challenges and your goals, and then judge whether we can help. If we decide another route suits you better, we will say so plainly.

Our aim is a long-term relationship built on trust and concrete results, not a sale at any cost.

Still looking for an answer?
