About Gaël

I am a Webperf expert, specializing in website acceleration and accustomed to working on high-stakes sites. I have dozens of successes to my name. Among the best known: Decathlon, Kayak.com, L'Equipe, France Télévisions, Eurosport, Chanel, Dior, Crédit Mutuel, Engie...

I mainly intervene in the form of audits and on complex subjects. To be very clear, do not contact me if your company is new to optimization, you can easily find cheaper experts than me to get started. Contact me if you have already made good progress on the subject but are stuck at a plateau.

I also think I am the right person if you are experiencing front-end problems that no one can solve. Browser crashes, random bugs, unexplained CLS issues, slowness, choppy animations, server overload, ineffective caching, etc.

My expertise in detail:
- loading speed, responsiveness, and page fluidity
- network architecture, servers, CDN, caching strategy
- JavaScript, HTML, CSS
- online advertising and other 3rd parties
- front-end memory leaks
- excellent general knowledge on all web issues

I intervene in different ways:
- performance audit to list possible optimizations
- "firefighter" mission in case of urgent slowness to solve
- implementation of measurement and monitoring tools
- long-term support 1 day/week
- training of technical, product, or design teams on webperf
