Livestream: Why your WordPress site is slow (and how to fix it)

Speed is a business problem, not a technical score 

A slow WordPress site is a measurable drag on your clients' results. Every additional second of load time reduces conversions, increases bounce rates, and signals to search engines that the page isn't worth surfacing. Agencies managing WordPress sites carry the responsibility for that performance, but most optimization advice is either too vague to act on or focused on the wrong metrics. 

Nathan Ingram is an agency coach and educator who has helped agencies diagnose and fix slow sites without guesswork. On August 4, he walks through the practical steps that actually improve load times. 

Join us on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT for this free livestream covering WordPress performance optimization from diagnosis to fix. 

You will learn how to identify bottlenecks, apply the optimizations that matter, and stop spending time on techniques that don't move the needle. You can also watch the livestream directly below.

Five things you'll walk away with 

Nathan will walk through the practical optimization steps that improve real-world load times, including: 

• Why page load time matters more than Google PageSpeed scores and which testing tools to trust 

• The three factors that control site speed: server response time, what's loading, and how it loads 

• How to use Pingdom's File Requests chart to find performance bottlenecks 

• Core optimizations that move the needle: caching, image compression, GZIP, and file minification 

• Which WordPress performance plugins are worth your time and the common mistakes that slow sites down instead 
   

This livestream is built for agency teams managing WordPress client sites. If you handle development, project delivery, or client outcomes and want a practical approach to performance work, this session is for you.
