Required for CRO Programme and Development
StrategyFive Platform
StrategyFive Platform is the managed WordPress and WooCommerce environment that underpins both pathways. It is not positioned as generic hosting. It is a delivery system for performance, stability, safe releases, and measurable optimisation.
Both pathways require the client site to be on the StrategyFive Platform. This standardises speed, stability, staging, release safety, backups, monitoring, and governance.
Platform capabilities
The platform layer removes technical friction from optimisation and makes delivery repeatable and safe.
Managed hosting and maintenance
Managed hosting, maintenance, security hardening, and updates.
Staging for QA and controlled releases
Staging environments for QA and controlled releases.
Backups and restore routines
Daily backups and tested restore procedures.
Monitoring and alerting
Monitoring and alerting, with clear incident response routines.
WooCommerce performance tools
Caching and performance tools tuned for WooCommerce behaviour.
Core Web Vitals and technical hygiene
A standardised approach to Core Web Vitals improvement and technical hygiene.
Performance and reliability
Principles that protect checkout and measurement
- Prioritise user perceived speed and checkout reliability over vanity metrics.
- Use conservative caching patterns that respect WooCommerce cookies and personalised sessions.
- Optimise images, assets, and caching. Use critical CSS and safe script deferral.
- Use persistent object caching where it provides measurable benefit.
- Avoid changes that improve one metric but introduce instability or tracking regressions.
Release safety
A delivery system designed to be repeatable and safe
Delivery is designed to be repeatable, safe, and measurable. We optimise for consistent progress rather than dramatic redesigns that introduce risk.
- Staging first for all meaningful changes.
- Controlled releases within an agreed release window.
- Rollback readiness for higher risk changes.
- Post release checks for tracking, performance, and checkout flows.
- Monitoring and error logging to reduce incident frequency and improve response time.
- Use WooCommerce hooks, minimise template overrides, and never modify core plugin files.
Support and incidents
Clear routines and escalation when it matters
- Support is provided Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:30, excluding UK public holidays.
- For priority one incidents, you can escalate via email and telephone.
- The primary objective is restoration of service, followed by root cause analysis and prevention.

Seamless Migration and Outstanding Support!
We recently migrated our website to [strategyfive.io], and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The migration process was incredibly quick and trouble-free, exceeding our expectations. What truly stood out was the amazing support we received throughout and following the migration. The team at [strategyfive.io] was (and are) always available, knowledgeable, and eager to assist with any questions or issues we had. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is evident, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to choose [strategyfive.io]. Highly recommended!

Personal service with excellent results!
The results on my website speed have been excellent, we had some teething problems at the start but they were dealt with super quickly. As an ecommerce business speed and up-time are so important and Eliot ensured that disruption would be minimal during the transfer.My Google Analytics data speak for itself with my bounce rate down significantly and the time people spend on my site greatly improved. A fast website is such a must in this day and age!

Helpful and prompt responses
Eliot has been really helpful hosting my website, I needed lots of things changing as my business was going in a different direction. He changed the pages I needed him too very quickly. Always there to answer questions. I get monthly updates for what is going on (I don't understand these but I'm sure he would explain if needed). In all he does what I expect - keep my website up and running.

Highly recommend [StrategyFive]
[StrategyFive] have been a breath of fresh air for us. The service is second-to-none. The speed improvement from our previous host is signifant. I'd highly recomment these guys to host your site if you're looking for a responsive, pro-active and professional service.
