About Iron/Out
Web performance that moves the needle
Iron/Out is a specialist web performance consultancy. We help e-commerce and media companies turn slow websites into faster, better-converting experiences. Our work connects technical metrics directly to business outcomes: revenue, search rankings and customer satisfaction.
We created the UX Score, the composite performance metric used in the Twinkle100 benchmark for Dutch e-commerce. We've helped teams at DPG Media, Frasers Group, Simyo and others achieve measurable improvements in Core Web Vitals and conversions.
How we work
Every engagement starts with real-user data. We measure what actual visitors experience on real devices and networks, not what Lighthouse reports in a lab. From there we quantify the business impact and prioritise what to fix first.
We work in three ways:
- Performance Audit — Four weeks of real-user monitoring, a business case that shows what slow pages cost you, a competitive benchmark, and a prioritised action plan.
- Performance Sprint — Two weeks of hands-on implementation alongside your team. We start fixing from day one.
- Performance Workshop — A practical training for senior developers on metrics, tooling and optimisation techniques. Build the expertise in-house.
We work with:
- E-commerce product owners and managers who need to quantify the cost of slow pages.
- Development teams that need focused performance expertise alongside their feature work.
- Digital leaders who want to translate milliseconds into revenue impact for their board.

Our story
Iron/Out was founded in 2021 by Sander van Surksum. After years of seeing e-commerce companies lose revenue to performance problems they couldn't diagnose, he built a consultancy focused entirely on one thing: making websites faster and proving the business impact.
Most organisations face the same gap. Commercial teams see the symptoms: high bounce rates, declining conversions, poor search visibility. Development teams have the technical skills to fix it but are stretched thin building features. We close that gap. We translate performance into language the business understands, and we have the engineering depth to implement the fixes ourselves.
Meet the team
Why would you call us?
Automated tools give you scores. We show you what those scores mean for your revenue, which problems actually matter, and how to fix them. These are the four areas where we consistently make the biggest difference.
Faster pages convert better. We show you the numbers before we start, so you know what to expect.
Know exactly where you stand against direct competitors on real-user metrics, not synthetic scores.
Lighthouse tests one page in ideal conditions. We measure what real visitors on real devices actually experience.
We don't hand you a report and walk away. We work alongside your team and ship fixes during a focused sprint.
