purge

Purge matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around keeping sites fast and proving optimization work, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Performance issues are hard to connect to business impact and hard to explain to clients. The entry wedge is to identify slow assets or configuration risks and package before/after improvements into reports.

Opportunity Summary

Full report

Build a performance monitoring and client reporting plugin for site owners, agencies, and maintenance teams: Performance issues are hard to connect to business impact and hard to explain to clients. The first wedge is to identify slow assets or configuration risks and package before/after improvements into reports.

The unmet need is not the individual complaint. It is the recurring business workflow: Performance issues are hard to connect to business impact and hard to explain to clients. Current stage: commercial plugin opportunity.
