About Phil

I'm a UK-based web engineer who specialises in performance, Core Web Vitals and technical SEO.

Now I work directly with businesses who want their websites to feel fast, rank well, and convert better – without needing a huge in-house team.

I'm technical enough to talk code with your developers, and practical enough to keep everything grounded in business outcomes and plain English.

Background

Over the last few years I've:

How I work

Remote-first, UK-based

Working with clients across the UK and internationally.

Clear communication

Regular check-ins and updates in plain English.

Honest and practical

I'll tell you what will and won't move the needle.

Why work with me

Performance specialist

Not a generic SEO agency – I focus specifically on Web Vitals and performance, not "everything SEO".

Engineer background

I've actually built and optimised large scale production sites, not just written reports about them.

Developer-friendly

Recommendations are concrete, scoped, and written in language devs can actually implement.

Business outcome focus

Performance work tied directly to SEO visibility, conversions and revenue, not just pretty graphs.
