Client Delivery

This step turns technical work into something a client can understand, verify, and maintain.

What a Good Delivery Includes​

  • Proof: before/after results with the same test conditions.
  • What changed: high-level list (not a wall of settings).
  • Risk notes: what to avoid and what triggers re-testing.
  • Maintenance plan: what to check monthly/quarterly.

What Changed (Example Sections)​

  • Caching: origin/page cache configured and verified; dynamic routes excluded.
  • Assets: CSS/JS loading optimized with a single "owner" tool; regressions tested.
  • Images: LCP image prioritized; offscreen lazy loading enabled; dimensions prevent CLS.
  • Fonts: local delivery and swap behavior; minimal preloads.
  • Third-party: heavy scripts delayed/scoped; embeds replaced with facades.
  • CDN/network: TLS and compression verified; edge caching rules are WordPress-safe.

Maintenance Notes​

  • Re-test after theme changes, major plugin additions, or large design updates.
  • Avoid adding new third-party tags without measuring impact.
  • If you use unused-CSS tooling, regenerate after layout/template changes.

Subject: Performance optimization delivery - {{site}}

Hi {{Client Name}},

Your performance optimization work is complete. Attached is the delivery report with before/after results, what changed, and what to monitor going forward.

Key notes:
- Caching and CDN behavior was verified on public and dynamic routes.
- Core user flows were validated (menu/forms/login/checkout where applicable).

If you plan any major design or plugin changes, please let us know so we can re-test and prevent regressions.

Best,
{{Your Name}}
