We also provide simple design related optimisations connected to Google Page Speed/Lighthouse, GtMetrix and other popular tools.

One of the key things that we do is to monitor the performance of client sites and whole hosting services that might need additional optimizations in case they are resource intensive.

Lastly, we need a candidate with a good sense of humor, which just helps everywhere, right?
