Client Background
ReliMed Solutions, a healthcare compliance and data management platform, faced major performance and SEO challenges that limited its digital reach and user engagement. The site’s C-grade SEO audit revealed technical inefficiencies, accessibility gaps, and mobile performance issues. These factors negatively impacted visibility, conversion rates, and trust among healthcare clients.
ReliMed partnered with NextGen Coding Company to deliver a comprehensive optimization strategy focused on improving Core Web Vitals, metadata structure, load performance, and overall search rankings.
The Problem
ReliMed’s website suffered from low search visibility, slow page speed, and inconsistent user experience caused by:
Missing and poorly structured metadata, including absent meta descriptions and alt text.
Slow page load times from unoptimized images, excessive JavaScript and CSS, and no caching.
Outdated plugins and inefficient database configurations creating security risks.
Poor mobile responsiveness and non-compliance with Google Core Web Vitals.
Absent robots.txt file and conflicting canonical tags causing poor crawl efficiency.
The goal was to elevate the site’s SEO audit score from C to A+, reduce load times below 2 seconds, improve mobile usability, and future-proof performance with scalable optimization practices.
Our Solution
NextGen executed a multi-phase SEO and performance optimization plan combining technical enhancements, on-page SEO improvements, and backend performance tuning.
CSS and JavaScript Optimization
Minification and Consolidation: Used Autoptimize to minify and concatenate CSS and JS files, reducing HTTP requests by 40% and improving load speed.
Deferred Execution: Prioritized rendering by deferring non-critical scripts to improve First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Time to Interactive (TTI) metrics.
Code Cleanup: Eliminated redundant CSS and unused JavaScript to streamline delivery.
Image Optimization and Conversion
Converted all JPEG and PNG assets to WebP via ShortPixel, reducing image file size by up to 60%.
Applied lossless compression using Smush to optimize legacy media files without visual degradation.
Implemented lazy loading with WP Rocket, reducing initial page weight by 30%.
Advanced Caching and Compression
Configured WP Rocket for browser and object caching, improving load times for returning users.
Deployed Redis object caching to store frequently queried data, reducing response times by 25%.
Enabled Gzip and Brotli compression at the server level, cutting CSS, JS, and HTML file sizes by over 50%.
