Performance optimization that makes your site measurably faster where users feel it and Google scores it.

Core Web Vitals, load time, and runtime efficiency, improved through measurement instead of guesswork.

Every 100 milliseconds has a conversion rate attached. Temper And Forge finds the ones you're giving away.

All Work

Our Performance Process

01

Baseline from real user data

We baseline performance from field data, not lab scores: what real users on real networks experience across your key pages. Lab tests diagnose, but field data decides, because that's what your users and Google both feel.

02

Bottleneck diagnosis and plan

Profiling isolates what's slow and why: render-blocking resources, image weight, script cost, server response. Each fix gets an estimated gain and an effort cost, so the plan starts where milliseconds are cheapest.

03

Optimization implementation

We implement the plan: asset optimization, code splitting, caching strategy, lazy loading, and the CDN and server tuning behind them. Changes ship incrementally with measurement between each, so gains are attributable.

04

Verification and guardrails

Results get verified in field data over full release cycles, and performance budgets go into the build process so the next feature can't quietly spend what we recovered. Speed is kept, not just achieved.

Our team

Who hunts the milliseconds.

Performance engineers who profile before prescribing and prove every gain in field data.

Utile Design

Temper And Forge helped us launch our new website — during the discovery phase, they asked questions about our primary goals and helped us shape the vision together. Using our refreshed brand style guide, they developed three different options for how to execute on the website, then built everything out in Figma before moving to development. Following launch, we saw significant increases in organic search traffic and time on page. They were always up for a challenge — if we had modifications, they would definitely meet and exceed those — and every team member showed genuine care for their craft.
