How We Work And Why It Holds

Performance work goes wrong when it is done on instinct. Our method, backed by our database and infrastructure teams.

Profile Before Optimising

Profile Before Optimising

Distributed tracing and flame graphs pinpoint the exact bottleneck. We fix the 20% of code causing 80% of the slowness, not arbitrary rewrites.

Custom
Benchmark Every Change

Benchmark Every Change

Every optimisation is validated with before/after load test results. You see the numbers, not just our word for it: p50, p95, p99 response times docum

Custom
No Breaking Changes

No Breaking Changes

All optimisations are made with zero change to API contracts or user-facing behaviour. Regression test coverage is expanded, not reduced.

Custom
N+1 Query Elimination

N+1 Query Elimination

DataLoader, eager loading, and query batching: the most common cause of catastrophic database performance solved systematically.

Custom
Multi-Layer Caching

Multi-Layer Caching

CDN, HTTP cache headers, Redis application cache, and query result cache: the right cache at every layer of the stack.

Custom
Bundle Optimisation

Bundle Optimisation

Code splitting, tree shaking, lazy imports, and dynamic loading cut JavaScript bundle sizes by 60–80% on average.

Our Process

From Symptom to Measured Fix

A process built on evidence, so every change has a number attached to it.

1
Week 1

Discovery

We profile real traffic and rank bottlenecks by impact against effort, then fix a quote.

2
Week 1–2

Design

Target metrics and acceptance thresholds agreed before any code changes.

3
Week 2–8

Development

Fixes shipped incrementally, each one benchmarked against the baseline.

4
Week 6–10

QA & Hardening

Load testing and regression testing so nothing gains speed by breaking.

5
Ongoing

Launch & Support

Monitoring and budgets in place so performance does not quietly regress.

Questions We Hear Every Week

Results depend on how poorly optimised the current state is. Our typical engagements achieve 5–20× improvement in the slowest endpoints, 50–95% reduction in database query times, and Lighthouse scores improving from 40–60 to 90+. We set realistic expectations after the baseline audit.
No. All optimisations are implemented in isolated branches with full regression test coverage before merging. We expand the test suite as part of the engagement and use feature flags for higher-risk changes. Zero tolerance for regression is a core delivery requirement.
The most common causes we encounter: (1) N+1 database queries hidden in ORM abstractions, (2) Missing or incorrect database indexes, (3) No caching layer between the application and database, (4) Synchronous processing of tasks that should be asynchronous, (5) Unoptimised JavaScript bundles. These five issues account for 80%+ of performance problems we fix.
Yes. We optimise React Native and Flutter apps for startup time, frame rate, network efficiency, and memory usage, as well as native iOS and Android applications. Mobile performance engagements typically include profiling with Xcode Instruments or Android Profiler alongside backend API optimisation.
A focused performance sprint typically runs 2 weeks: baseline profiling in week 1, implementation and validation in week 2. Larger engagements covering the full stack (frontend, API, database, and infrastructure) take 4–6 weeks. We provide a timeline and scope after the initial audit call.
A focused 2-week performance sprint starts from $8,000. A comprehensive full-stack performance engagement covering frontend, API, database, and infrastructure typically ranges from $15,000–$40,000. Given that performance improvements frequently reduce infrastructure costs, engagements often have a clear ROI within months.
