Performance Optimization

Fix slow apps that hurt conversions. We analyze bottlenecks, optimize databases, and achieve 2-10x performance improvements. A 1-second delay reduces conversions by 7%—every 100ms matters. Bottleneck removal across frontend + backend with evidence-based prioritisation (APAC overlap (AEST/AEDT-friendly)).

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Typical improvements: 2-5x faster page load times, 3-10x faster database queries, 50-70% reduction in bundle sizes. Results vary based on current performance.

Yes. We optimize frontend (code splitting, lazy loading, caching) and backend (database queries, API optimization, infrastructure).

We test each optimization in isolation, use staging environments, run automated tests, and monitor error rates. Changes are implemented incrementally.

Yes. We optimize LCP, CLS, and FID to improve Core Web Vitals scores, which improves SEO rankings and user experience.

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (AU)

For Australian teams, we keep privacy and data-handling explicit: access boundaries, safe logging, and clear retention policies.

We can support residency-sensitive designs (where feasible) and document data flows for stakeholder review.

  • Privacy Act-aware delivery posture (generic, no legal claims)
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries
  • Retention/deletion options where required
  • PII-safe logging and least-privilege defaults
  • NDA and DPA templates available on request

Timezone & Collaboration (APAC)

We support APAC collaboration with AEST/AEDT-friendly meeting windows and async progress updates.

We keep momentum with weekly milestones, crisp priorities, and predictable release planning.

  • APAC overlap with AEST/AEDT windows
  • Async-first updates and written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and scope control
  • Release planning with staged rollouts
  • Clear escalation path for blockers

Engagement & Procurement (AU)

We can structure engagements with clear scope, milestones, and invoicing that fits common procurement expectations.

If you need a lightweight vendor onboarding pack, we can provide delivery process notes and security posture summaries.

  • AUD-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Milestone-based billing for fixed-scope work
  • Time-and-materials for evolving scope
  • Procurement-friendly documentation on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (APAC)

With APAC teams, async clarity matters: written decisions, stable releases, and test coverage that prevents regressions.

We use performance budgets and release checklists so handoffs stay smooth across timezones.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Release checklist + rollback plan for production launches
  • Security checklist for auth and sensitive data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
