Development

Faster pages, measured the way Google measures them.

ACS Creative provides website performance for businesses in Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, DC, and clients nationwide. We start from real-user Core Web Vitals data, profile each template, and fix the things that actually move the numbers: images, third-party scripts, render-blocking assets, caching, and server response.

I'd like to give my highest commendation to ACS Creative. My company partnered with ACS to develop one of our key web based applications, and they could not have been more helpful, courteous, proactive or professional.

Who this is for

Sites that fail Core Web Vitals, marketing teams with a slow page builder theme, and anyone whose PageSpeed score has become a recurring meeting topic.

Where we do this work

Frederick, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Bethesda, Columbia and everywhere we serve.

How a performance project runs

We start with field data from the Chrome UX Report, which is what Google actually scores, then profile each template in Lighthouse on desktop and throttled mobile. The fix list is ordered by expected impact in milliseconds: usually images first, then third-party scripts and tag managers, then caching and server response, then fonts and layout shift. Then we implement it and measure again.

What it costs

A performance audit alone runs $1,100 to $3,100. Implementation is billed at $135 to $155 an hour with an estimate after the audit; most sites need eight to twenty hours to move from red to green.

Common questions

Will you get us to 100 in PageSpeed?

We aim for passing Core Web Vitals on real users, which is what Google actually uses. A 100 lab score is sometimes possible and rarely worth what it costs.

Is this a one-time project?

Usually a one-time pass, then quarterly monitoring so new content and plugins do not undo the work.

Do you fix the issues or just report them?

Both. The audit produces a prioritized list; remediation is quoted after you see it.

Can you speed up a page-builder site?

Somewhat. The honest answer is usually that the builder is the problem, and we will tell you if that is the case.

What is a good Core Web Vitals score?

Passing all three metrics for real users in Google’s CrUX data. That is what we target.
