For WordPress websites ready to perform. £850 one-time optimisation. Guaranteed crawlability boost.
Get your site ready for agentic AI search.
Most websites don’t fail because of bad content. They fail because the content never gets seen. Searchlight London’s 2026 Technical SEO Jumpstart fixes that fast.
It’s a one-off, high-impact optimisation that transforms your WordPress website’s technical foundation, improving your PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix scores to consistent green/A levels. The result is a faster, lighter, and more crawl-efficient site that performs brilliantly across both traditional Google Search and the new AI-driven discovery systems shaping how people find information in 2026.
If you’ve been publishing great content that goes nowhere, this is why. A slow, cluttered site smothers your visibility. We call it the dirty canvas problem: your pages can’t breathe because the structure beneath them is suffocating performance. The Jumpstart cleans that canvas so your content can finally show up where it deserves to: at the top of Google and in AI-generated results.
What’s Included
Our engineers rebuild the technical core of your WordPress site from the inside out, focusing on performance, stability, and crawlability.
Included in every Jumpstart:
- Full technical audit and performance benchmarking (GTmetrix and PageSpeed Insights)
- Server-level and caching optimisation (WordPress, Cloudflare, LiteSpeed, or equivalent)
- Core Web Vitals tuning (LCP, CLS, INP) for real-world user speed
- Script, theme, and plugin rationalisation to remove bloat
- Image compression and next-gen asset delivery
- Mobile-first layout testing and stability improvements
- Crawl depth and indexation refinement to reduce wasted crawl budget
- Before-and-after performance report with verified PSI and GTmetrix results
Within 2 to 3 weeks, your site will load faster, score higher, and be easier for both humans and search engines to understand.
PageSpeed Insights (PSI) measures your real-world performance across Google’s Core Web Vitals, combining lab and field data from actual Chrome users over a 28-day rolling window. This means your improvements will be reflected progressively across the following month. GTmetrix, by contrast, analyses your website instantly using live test environments and industry-standard performance benchmarks.
Together, they form the dual system that matters most: PSI tells Google how fast your site really is for users, while GTmetrix shows how technically sound your site is right now. Both are critical for diagnosing bottlenecks and proving performance gains.
Why it matters
Google and AI systems now read your site the same way users do: they prioritise speed, efficiency, and clarity.
In 2025, over 70% of ranking volatility came from Core Web Vitals and site performance metrics. Google’s indexation models, and AI discovery engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, all favour websites that load instantly and deliver clean, structured code.
A fast site isn’t just a ranking factor. It’s a conversion factor. Research shows that a one-second delay in load time can reduce conversions by up to 20%, while faster pages increase organic visibility and engagement across every channel.
The Jumpstart makes your website readable by machines, enjoyable by humans, and profitable for you.
What It’s Not
This isn’t full-scale technical SEO. It’s a launch boost: a targeted clean-up that resets your website’s foundation and gives you the speed advantage your competitors are missing.
You’ll still need a broader SEO strategy to build authority, but this is the step that lets all that work actually perform.
Who It’s For
We only work with companies that want their website to make money.
If your goal is real business growth — more leads, sales, and measurable ROI — this is where to start. The 2026 Technical SEO Jumpstart ensures your website can finally support your ambitions, rather than limiting them.
