Get more from your existing Umbraco website
A slow website doesn’t just frustrate users. It impacts search visibility, increases infrastructure costs and can reduce enquiries, sales and customer engagement.
Many organisations assume poor website performance is simply part of running a mature Umbraco CMS. In reality, performance issues often result from inefficient code, outdated Umbraco versions, outdated architecture, infrastructure bottlenecks or years of incremental changes.
Newpath helps organisations identify performance issues and implement practical improvements that deliver measurable results without rebuilding the entire platform.
Why performance matters
Website performance affects almost every aspect of your digital presence.
Faster websites typically provide:
- Better customer experiences
- Higher search engine rankings
- Improved accessibility
- Increased conversion rates
- Lower infrastructure costs
- Better reliability under load
Performance optimisation isn’t simply about achieving a perfect Lighthouse score. It’s about delivering consistently fast, reliable experiences for real users.
Common performance issues we resolve
Over time, even well-built Umbraco websites can become slower as new functionality, integrations and content are added.
Common issues include:
- Slow page load times
- Large database queries
- Inefficient content caching
- Poor image optimisation
- Legacy code
- Excessive JavaScript
- Third-party integration delays
- Azure infrastructure configuration
- Search indexing issues
- Memory and CPU bottlenecks
Our team performs a comprehensive technical review to identify where improvements will have the greatest impact.
Our optimisation approach
Every website is different.
Rather than applying generic recommendations, we investigate how your platform actually behaves under real-world conditions.
Our optimisation services include:
Detailed analysis of application performance, infrastructure and code quality.
Identifying slow components, database bottlenecks and inefficient processing.
Reviewing Azure configuration, caching strategies and scaling options.
Reducing unnecessary assets while improving page rendering and responsiveness.
Improving query performance and reducing unnecessary load.
Implementing tools that help detect issues before they impact users.
Performance without compromising flexibility
One of the biggest challenges with optimisation is maintaining flexibility for content editors while improving technical performance.
Our developers optimise systems without making day-to-day content management more difficult.
The result is a website that’s faster for visitors and easier for your team to maintain.
Why choose Newpath?
Our developers understand Umbraco from the inside out.
We don’t rely solely on automated testing tools. We investigate application architecture, hosting environments, integrations and user behaviour to deliver improvements that make a measurable difference.
Whether your website serves thousands or millions of visitors each year, we help ensure it continues performing as your organisation grows.
