One audit entry point. The rest of the page builds trust.
Pagelyze is the technical proof layer. Prospects run the audit once in the hero or from the persistent drawer, then the rest of the homepage clarifies what the findings mean, what it will take to fix them, and whether an architecture review is the right next move.

Who I Help Across Australia
I implement technical SEO and high-speed architecture for SaaS and service businesses across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and remote-first Australian startups.
SaaS product teams
Built for remote-first Australian startups that need faster INP, cleaner Next.js delivery, and direct engineering decisions.
Service businesses
For operators across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane who need booking, lead-gen, and trust-critical journeys to perform properly.
E-commerce and CMS teams
For Shopify, WooCommerce, and headless builds where performance debt and content complexity are already affecting revenue.
Operationally complex businesses
For portals, admin systems, and technical stacks where uptime, triage speed, and system clarity matter more than agency theatre.
Why Direct Engineering Beats the Agency Model
Methodology
No Translation Loss
You talk directly to the architect writing the code. No middleman, no mismanaged briefs.
Methodology
Pure Infrastructure Focus
Most agencies use bloated templates. I build for Interaction to Next Paint (INP) and LCP excellence using Next.js 16.

Lower Risk, Higher Speed
Faster triage and implementation through focused 24h-48h sprints rather than 3-month agency waitlists.

“PKTechie did a great job building our Horse Syndicate platform. He understood our business needs well and helped turn a manual, spreadsheet-heavy process into a much more streamlined and professional system. He was reliable, easy to work with, and delivered a high-quality result. Highly recommend.”

“I recently asked PK to help me with a small project for our family - creating a QR memory link system so we could scan and view photos and videos instantly. He set it up perfectly, made it super easy for us to update, and the whole idea worked even better than we expected. PK explains everything clearly and gets things done quickly. Really impressed with the result. Highly recommend him for any tech or web projects.”

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to improve a website's LCP score in 2026?
The most effective LCP fix is a combination of Edge Caching for Australian users and prioritizing above-the-fold assets. I implement these via code-stripping and server-side optimization to get Largest Contentful Paint under 1.2 seconds.
How do you handle urgent WordPress or Shopify bug fixes?
I offer a 24-48 hour Fix Sprint for high-priority issues like broken checkouts, form failures, or layout shifts. You get direct senior engineering support with fixed-scope pricing.
Can you optimize a site for Google's new INP metric?
Yes. Interaction to Next Paint (INP) measures responsiveness. I specialize in reducing main-thread blocking and optimizing React/Next.js hydration to ensure 100/100 responsiveness scores.
Do you provide support for Melbourne-based small businesses?
Absolutely. I am based in Sunbury and prioritize Melbourne businesses for on-site audits and urgent technical support, while providing remote implementation Australia-wide.
Do you build custom web applications or just websites?
I specialize in custom web applications (SaaS, dashboards, and internal portals). I build with modern frameworks like Next.js and React to ensure your system is fast, secure, and ready to scale.
What kind of CMS-driven websites do you build?
I architect scalable content systems using WordPress, Shopify, and Headless CMS options. The focus is always on a 'Clean Admin' experience, so your team can manage content without needing a developer for every update.
Technical Standards
I don't hide behind jargon. I use measurable industry standards like LCP, INP and SSR to ensure your business remains at the top of AI search results.
