Speed & Performance Audits
Figure out exactly why your sites are slow and get a roadmap to fix it without rebuilding everything.
“Our sites take forever to load and I can't figure out if it's the hosting, the theme, or all the plugins.”
This is for you if
Healthcare marketing teams that know their sites are slow and need measurable improvements fast.
Not the right fit
Teams that only want a performance report to ignore or aren't willing to implement the fixes.
What We Actually Look At
Not a generic checklist. A real audit built for healthcare websites.
Core Web Vitals
LCP, FID/INP, and CLS: the three metrics Google uses to rank your site. We measure real-world and lab data across mobile and desktop.
Image & Asset Optimization
Oversized images, uncompressed files, missing lazy loading, and render-blocking resources that slow every page load.
Plugin & Script Profiling
Every plugin and third-party script measured for load time impact. We identify the ones dragging your site down and recommend alternatives.
Theme & Code Analysis
Bloated themes, unused CSS/JS, render-blocking resources, and inefficient code patterns that add seconds to every page.
Server & Hosting Infrastructure
Server response time, CDN configuration, caching headers, PHP version, database query performance, and hosting capacity.
Third-Party Impact
Chat widgets, analytics, ad pixels, appointment schedulers. We measure exactly how much each external script costs you.
What We Typically Find
These are the issues hiding in most healthcare website portfolios.
Unoptimized images (5-15MB per page)
The single biggest cause of slow healthcare sites. A provider photo gallery can take 20 seconds to load on mobile.
Too many plugins (30-60 active)
Each plugin adds HTTP requests, CSS, and JavaScript. The cumulative effect is a site that crawls.
Page builder bloat
Elementor, Divi, and WPBakery generate 3-5x more code than necessary for every page.
No caching or CDN
Every visitor gets a freshly generated page from a single server, no matter where they are.
Render-blocking third-party scripts
Chat widgets, review platforms, and scheduling embeds that block your page from displaying until they load.
Outdated PHP and server software
Running PHP 7.x instead of 8.x can make your site 2-3x slower on every request.
Why This Is Different
The Generic Agency Approach The Carenetic Approach
Runs a free PageSpeed Insights test and sends you the screenshot
Profiles every layer: server, code, assets, plugins, and third-party scripts
Tells you to "optimize images" without actually doing it
Measures real-world performance data, not just lab scores
Installs a caching plugin and considers the job done
Implements and validates every fix in staging before going live
Can't distinguish between hosting, code, and third-party script issues
Quantifies the exact cost of every plugin and script on your site
No before-and-after measurements to prove anything changed
Before-and-after measurements on every optimization we make
How It Works
A structured process built to scale. No surprises, no scope creep.
Baseline Measurement
We run Lighthouse, WebPageTest, and GTmetrix across your portfolio. Real numbers, not guesses.
Root Cause Diagnosis
We profile every layer (hosting, code, assets, plugins, scripts) to find the exact bottlenecks.
Prioritized Action Plan
Fixes ranked by impact: images and caching first, then plugins and code, then infrastructure.
Implementation & Validation
Every change tested in staging with before-and-after measurements to prove the improvement.
Pricing
Fixed-fee audits; optional implementation retainer.
Scope and pricing discussed on a short call. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you audit mobile performance or just desktop?
Mobile performance is the priority. Most of your traffic is mobile, and Google uses mobile performance as the primary ranking signal. We audit both mobile and desktop, but we focus on improving the mobile experience first since that's where the biggest impact lives.
Will you actually implement the fixes or just hand us a report?
We can do both. Some clients want the audit so their internal team or existing agency can implement the fixes. Others want us to handle both the audit and the execution. If you choose implementation, we'll prioritize the highest-impact changes first and validate the results with before-and-after measurements.
How quickly can we see performance improvements?
Many template-level improvements (image optimization, CSS/JS cleanup, lazy loading) can be implemented and validated within 2–4 weeks. Infrastructure changes like CDN setup or hosting migration take longer but often deliver the biggest gains. You'll see incremental improvements throughout the process, not just at the end.
What actually causes slow page speeds on healthcare websites?
The most common culprits are oversized images, too many plugins (especially page builders and sliders), unoptimized third-party scripts (chat widgets, analytics, ads), bloated themes, and poor hosting infrastructure. We profile every layer: hosting, code, assets, and third-party tools, to pinpoint exactly where the bottlenecks are and what to fix first.
Can you improve performance without breaking our site?
Yes. We test every change in a staging environment before pushing it live. We don't randomly delete plugins or strip functionality. Every change is intentional, tested in staging, and measured before and after. Nothing goes live until we've confirmed it doesn't break your site.
How do you measure success?
We track Core Web Vitals, page load behavior, interaction latency, and conversion impact on priority templates. You receive before/after metrics tied to an implementation roadmap. We want faster pages and better outcomes for your patients, and we prove it with numbers.
