The verdict in three sentences
A Core Web Vitals audit in Singapore is budgeted between 3,000 and 9,000 SGD depending on site size and complexity. The 2026 targets are clear: LCP under 2.5 s, INP under 200 ms and CLS under 0.1, with fixes delivered in 2 to 4 weeks. A fast site means +15 to 25 % conversion and better Google rankings: performance has become a business lever, not a technical detail.
Performance audit pricing grid in Singapore
Price depends on scope (number of templates to analyze), diagnostic depth and fix support.
| Package | Price SGD | Scope | Fixes included | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic | 3,000 | 3-5 templates | No (recos) | 1 week |
| Standard | 5,500 | 8-12 templates | High priority | 2 weeks |
| Full | 7,500 | Whole site | High + medium | 3 weeks |
| Premium | 9,000 | Site + 3-month follow | All + monitoring | 4 weeks |
Hosting and CDN, often undersized, also weigh on performance:
| Item | Cost SGD/month | Perf impact | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shared hosting | 40-120 | Low to medium | Review |
| Optimized VPS | 150-400 | Strong | Recommended |
| CDN (global cache) | 200-500 | Strong (LCP, TTFB) | Priority |
| WebP/AVIF images + lazy | audit included | Strong (LCP) | Priority |
A typical audit report and quantified gains
A serious audit measures before/after on the three key metrics and projects the conversion impact. Here is an example B2B e-commerce site in Singapore (2026 order of magnitude).
| Metric | Before | Target | After optimization |
|---|---|---|---|
| LCP | 4.8 s | < 2.5 s | 2.1 s |
| INP | 380 ms | < 200 ms | 170 ms |
| CLS | 0.28 | < 0.1 | 0.05 |
| Conversion rate | 1.4 % | - | 1.75 % (+25 %) |
| Bounce rate | 62 % | - | 48 % |
The main fixes: image compression and modern formats, deferred loading of third-party scripts, CDN caching, reducing blocking JavaScript and font optimization. These actions capture most of the gains.
Mini case study
Amine is CTO of an industrial SME in Singapore hurt by a slow site. He orders a Standard audit at 5,500 SGD and moves hosting to an optimized VPS with CDN at 350 SGD/month. The site drives 25,000 visits/month with a 1,200 SGD average order and an initial 1.4 % conversion rate, i.e. 350 orders. After optimization, conversion rises to 1.75 % (+25 %), i.e. 87 extra orders/month. At 1,200 SGD per order, that means 87 x 1,200 = 104,400 SGD of extra revenue per month. The audit and a year of CDN (under 10,000 SGD) pay for themselves within days of optimized traffic.

FAQ
How much does a Core Web Vitals audit cost in Singapore in 2026?
Between 3,000 and 9,000 SGD depending on scope and whether fixes are included. A simple diagnostic starts at 3,000 SGD; a full audit with implementation and follow-up reaches 9,000 SGD.
What thresholds should I target for Core Web Vitals?
LCP under 2.5 s, INP under 200 ms and CLS under 0.1. These are Google's "good" thresholds in 2026, assessed on field data (mobile first).
How long to fix a site's performance?
Expect 2 to 4 weeks depending on the number of fixes and technical complexity. The fastest gains come from images, caching and third-party scripts.
Does a fast site really improve conversions?
Yes: depending on the starting point, we see +15 to 25 % conversion after optimization, with a lower bounce rate. Every second saved on LCP counts, especially on mobile.
Do I need to change hosting to improve Core Web Vitals?
Often yes: undersized shared hosting drags down TTFB and LCP. An optimized VPS (150-400 SGD/month) and a CDN (200-500 SGD/month) make a clear difference.
