without AI,
premium themes,
or paid plugins.
These days, most websites rely on expensive tools
to achieve performance.
I wanted to see what was possible using mostly the basics.
After spending most of my time working
with Microsoft 365,
Google Workspace,
and IT infrastructure,
I decided brand my services.
The goal was simple:
Build a website that loads fast
without depending on premium add-ons.
What I Used
โ
WordPress
โ
Astra Theme
โ
Elementor Page Builder
โ
Hostinger Hosting
โ
LiteSpeed Cache (included by Hostinger)
No AI-generated layouts.
No premium themes.
No premium plugins.

Website speed isn't always about buying more tools.
It's often about making smarter technical decisions from the beginning.
