Website speed optimization is becoming a very hot topic for all website owners. Running a slow website will impact not only overall user experience but also your google rankings since speed is a ranking factor.
Unfortunately, some unscrupulous people will take advantage of the situation and promise to optimize your site speed to the max, sadly they are not genuine.
In this video I am showing you how I was a the victim of one of those so called website speed optimization experts, and how you can avoid falling into their hands.

Ok then what is the true method to optimize the website,l?
Great video. Could you share with us what plugin or method did the scammer used to redirect your client's website to an empty one? Cheers mate.
I'm in the midst of a dispute on Upwork for this very scam. I have simple history installed showing that he didn't do anything other than install a plugin. I hope that's enough.
I got scammed by the same "speed guy"too! Thank you so much for sharing this! How can we stop him from scamming others?
If I ever discover an "Easy Button", we will have no problems with scammers.
Hate to hear about your experience.
When I began my online business I had no formal training.
It has been great information from channels like this that have given me the chance to make my business work.
Thank you for your efforts!!
Perhaps you should check "speed guys" client feedback page and report his scam to them as well.
i hate wen u get to the worg site
Tons of excellent content by you, I love it. Need advice: I am looking to hire a freelancer to do SEO audit of my site and give me a list of weaknesses which I can later fix to improve SEO. What questions should I be asking to get a true expert and not just someone who knows a few hacks, any certifications? Thanks.
wow so good
Sorry For being Scammed Luc. Now we know that there are both good and bad people out there…As far as website speed is concerned, how can one do it alone or get support to do it as an affordable price.
(and is not fully optimized by the way, neither by the scammer or Mr. Munib, but is better though) as an speed expert 1) first, $250 for that kind a website you had is very low if you know what you are doing and especially if you want 100% speed, 2) second 95+ is NEVER going to be achieved with PRO THEMES or PRO FRAMEWORKS, and that includes any CMS like Joomla, WordPress, or Drupal, and I am talking about both mobile and desktop (perhaps only destop but not mobile) 3) third, to achieve 100% is only through custom coding and compromise is always a required option for speed, which makes my first point, 100% is not cheap for an already developed website
Hi, thanks for the video. Yes, there are a lot of scammers doing the same or similar things. I just run your website again and I see the mobile score is 62. That's because of plugin cost calculator builder that is not used on your front page but loads a lot of CSS. In order to make mobile fast and high score you need to reduce all amount of CSS and JS under 500kb, your client's website has 3.8MB. What most people don't get that mobile is tested on slower connection and simulated a slower CPU to process the data. That's a bottleneck you can't control, so the only way to get fast on mobile is to reduce overall JS/CSS. I hope that helps.
Can you make a video on Facebook marketplace? How it can help one and the best use of it.
Happy to see honest people working together! Almost done building my website and will be contacting Javalogix to optimize the speed of my website. Thanks for the recommendation and letting us know about this!
I was working and even working with Preston Martelly now and i truly admire him. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing your experience I appreciate it
Thank you for sharing Luc, unfortunately, I've used the exact same "expert" on Upwork.
Nice to know there are honest vendors out there if/when I need them. Good job Preston and Munib.
Simply superb. This is why I am subscribed to your channel. Concise to the point without any BS. It further proves my belief that its not the number of views, but the quality of the video that matters. I could so much relate to what you said as I use upwork also and have been burnt once or twice even after following the sensible protocols. Anyways. Keep up the good work. I will now check my site speed as shown in your video and may contact Preston's company too.
When you test a site, you need to do it from the location where most of the traffic will be generated.
In this video, you are testing a UK site from servers in Canada. Unless you are expecting traffic from Canada this is a pointless test.
Change the test location to UK (London)
It's great to see honesty and selflessness in this community which is quite rare and also refreshing. Next time, I need anything marketing related, I will definitely be in touch with Javalogix. Honest and reputable agencies like that are hard to come by.
SO sad that even when you're sophisticated as you are, and know what questions to ask, you can still get scammed.
Great information. Thank you for sharing. I use freelancers to help me with projects and this video will help make better decisions on what projects to have freelancers help with.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing
Great video as always.
I helped build our companies website many years ago now and I kept banging on about speed even back then.
The developers hated me, but I knew it was important due to what google had said. We eventually got good scores back then, but as time has moved on so has Googles standards and its slowly been slipping (goal posts move).
I was supposed to do a full rebuild of the site this year, but Covid stopped that.
Love your videos, they are easy to understand, no wonder you are doing so well
Hey Luc, thanks for sharing your experience! Your videos are outstanding…don't forget about it. Happy Marketing 🙂
The very reason I hesitate to hire anyone. I tried with Fiverr 2 times and nada. I love your videos and this is the first one that has showed up in over 6 months in my feed, not sure why but I’m glad it did. Thank you for always sharing.
