Website Development — Next.js
A slow website loses you customers every single day. I build fast ones that win them back.
When I rebuilt my own site from WordPress (7.8s) to Next.js (0.8s), monthly inquiries went from 52 to 105+. Same content, same business — just a site that loads before your customer loses patience. No database queries, no bloated plugins, no slow page builders.

The problem
Most websites are slower than you think
You paid a developer or used a builder. The site looks fine on your screen. But behind the scenes, it's loading megabytes of unused code, making 40+ database queries per page, and running JavaScript that blocks rendering for seconds.
Google measures this. Your customers feel it. A 3-second delay in loading time increases bounce rate by 32%. Most Filipino small business sites are losing customers before they even see the page.
And the worst part? You're paying monthly for a site that's actively hurting your business.
The fix: a Next.js site that serves pre-built HTML from a CDN. Zero database calls. Zero plugins. Lighthouse scores of 98–100 on every page.

WordPress (heavy themes)
- → PHP renders every page dynamically on every visit
- → 40+ database queries per page load
- → Plugins add MBs of unused CSS and JavaScript
- → No built-in lazy loading or image optimization
- → Lighthouse scores typically in the 30s–50s
Squarespace
- → Heavy page-weight from built-in design features
- → Limited control over caching and CDN configuration
- → JavaScript-heavy rendering slows down load times
- → High HTML errors that cause slower browser rendering
- → Moderate Core Web Vitals pass rate (55–60%)
Wix
- → Generates high amounts of HTML markup errors
- → Heavy JavaScript bundle that blocks page rendering
- → Auto-generated styles add significant bloat
- → No control over server-side optimization
- → Lighthouse scores typically in the 40–55 range
Real results
What happened when I migrated my own site
From WordPress (7.8s) to Next.js (0.8s). Same content. Different outcome.
Before: WordPress
V.O.S. Valencia Baguio — 2024
- →7.8 seconds average load time
- →Lighthouse score: 42
- →38% bounce rate on mobile
- →52 inquiries per month
After: Next.js
FreeUpToHours — 2026
- ✓0.8 seconds average load time
- ✓Lighthouse score: 98
- ✓12% bounce rate on mobile
- ✓105+ inquiries per month
That's 53 extra inquiries per month — just from fixing the website.
For a transient house: that's 2–3 extra bookings × ₱3,500 = ₱7k–10.5k extra/month
