Performance optimisation

Performance engineering from browser to database and infrastructure.

We investigate slow web and eCommerce platforms across the full request path. For Magento this can include PHP, database, Redis, OpenSearch, indexing and custom code; for wider sites it may involve CMS plugins, frontend JavaScript, APIs or hosting.

Where we add value

Performance optimisation shaped around the problem, not a generic package

Every performance optimisation requirement has a different starting point. We review the existing environment, the people who use it, the systems it depends on and the commercial outcome before deciding what should be built or changed.

That discovery matters because technical shortcuts often move cost into support, manual work or future redevelopment. Our aim is to make the solution understandable, maintainable and appropriate to the risk.

Evidence-driven diagnosis

Use timings, profiling, logs and production behaviour to locate actual bottlenecks.

Frontend performance

Improve asset delivery, JavaScript execution, images, fonts and rendering behaviour.

Application/database work

Review slow code paths, queries, cache usage, search and external service dependencies.

Infrastructure tuning

Align PHP workers, database resources, caching, CDN and service configuration with workload.

What we can deliver

Practical performance optimisation delivery from discovery through support

Midoriweb can own a complete workstream or integrate with an existing team. Scope can cover a new build, a defined improvement, recovery work or ongoing development capacity.

  • Performance audit and baseline
  • Core Web Vitals analysis
  • Application profiling
  • Database/query review
  • Cache strategy
  • Search/indexing optimisation
  • CDN and frontend delivery
  • Monitoring and regression prevention
How we work

Start with clarity, then build in controlled increments

We favour clear requirements, visible priorities and reviewable releases. Where uncertainty exists, we reduce it before committing to a large build.

Testing, documentation, version control, deployment planning and communication are treated as part of delivery rather than optional extras added at the end.

Technical coverage

Technology selected around the requirement

The exact stack depends on the current system and the work required. We can combine core Midoriweb expertise with specialists from our wider engineering team when a project needs additional skills.

Engagement options

Choose the level of ownership you need

Some clients need a complete managed project; others need experienced capacity inside an existing team. We support both models.

Managed project

Midoriweb owns an agreed scope, coordinates delivery and provides a clear route from discovery to release.

Specialist workstream

Bring us into one defined area such as frontend, backend, integrations, performance or infrastructure.

Team augmentation

Add one or more developers to increase capacity for a fixed period or ongoing roadmap.

Ongoing technical partner

Combine support, maintenance, improvements and roadmap delivery in a continuing engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Questions to consider before you start

Can you optimise a non-Magento website?

Yes. Magento is a specialist area, but the performance practice applies to custom applications and CMS platforms as well.

Do you promise a PageSpeed score?

No. We target real bottlenecks and user experience rather than an arbitrary score that can be affected by third-party scripts.

Can you find why the site is only slow sometimes?

Often, with logs, monitoring and correlation of traffic, jobs, integrations and resource use.

Can you work before a peak trading period?

Yes. Capacity and timing should be planned early enough to test changes safely.
