Hello,

I'm working on a website for a local rubbish removal company and have managed to improve the PageSpeed score for desktop devices but the score for mobile devices is very low, around 26 -30 for most of the pages (here is an example page). I tried many wp plugins to improve it but without much luck. Can someone advise me on how to improve the mobile score to at least 80 -90?

Don't use a page builder. Remove all plugins and add the features to functions.php.

Reconsider using external resources: maps, font social media and so on.

Server caching and gzip will help but your homepage is 2.7Mb with 66 requests. Your target page is better at 2.1Mb but there are now 83 requests

Disable all wordpress features your don't need, you can add loads of hooks to do this. Here are some of them: https://www.isitwp.com/remove-code-wordpress-header/

I've got about 30 different hooks disabling all sorts of stuff.

But the problem begins with the theme and all the stuff on the pages.

PS: the site isn't good on a phone - and this is where it needs to be spot on. More people will be searching for these sort of services on a phone than on a desktop. It's the theme again. It's responsive but not very good.

why are you using pngs for photos? compress them proplerly as jpegs instead. you also have 239 kb of css too, pretty hefty

if you're using (or at least downloading) font awesome then don't need typeicons too

do you reaaly need all four weights of poppins from regular to bold? also i would settle just with poppins or open sans rather than both and then only two—three weights if possible oh and you have a couple of robotos in there too

2mb for a page mostly consisting of text with small pictures is simply out of proportion

and don't underline text unless it's a link! e.g. "Book with Frank Rubbish Removal today!" isn't a link, but it should be 

also the watermarked images look amateurish, and i have no idea why anyone would want to steal them anyway!

er and also camel case for titles is heavy looking e.g. "

We Offer Garden Clearance Services At A Cheaper Price

"

and link words like "at" and "a" aren't usually capitalised in titles. try sentence case instead for greater readability

Hi guys and thanks for your replies.

Can anyone help me to fix the site speed? I will pay for the service.

Also, I can't disable PageBuilder as the entire site is built using this plugin.

Why? There is nothing on the site that needs you to use a page builder plugin

Do you have access to the cpanel?

Happy to help with this but there are no quick fixes. You need to go right back to the beginning and rework the site configuration, then the theme and then the content (including all the images).
