WordPress Optimization
I fix slow, fragile WordPress sites. Performance, security, plugin cleanup, and the kind of maintenance work that stops small issues turning into expensive ones.
What I help with
Most WordPress problems are not one big failure. They are lots of small decisions stacked on top of each other. I work through them systematically and get the site back into a safer state.
Speed fixes
Slow WordPress sites are usually death by a thousand cuts. I work through themes, plugins, images, scripts, caching, and hosting bottlenecks.
Plugin and theme cleanup
Bloated plugins, abandoned themes, duplicate functionality. I'll strip out what is causing risk and replace it with something maintainable.
Security hardening
Updates, access controls, backups, basic hardening, and recovery planning. Enough to reduce the usual WordPress drama.
Headless or rebuild paths
If WordPress should stay as a CMS but not as the frontend, I can help move it toward a headless setup or a cleaner rebuild.
When to bring me in
The site is slow and no one is sure why
Plugin updates keep breaking production
Security issues or suspicious behaviour need attention
The codebase is too fragile to hand off confidently
You need a migration path without tearing everything up at once
What you get
A short technical audit with the main problems ranked by impact
Direct fixes to performance, stability, and maintainability issues
A realistic plugin/theme cleanup plan
Deployment, backup, and recovery recommendations
Handover notes so your team is not dependent on me afterwards
FAQ
Do you only work on WordPress sites you built?
No. Most of this work is on inherited sites where the theme, plugin stack, or hosting setup needs untangling first.
Can you help without a full rebuild?
Yes. Most WordPress jobs are fix-and-stabilise projects, not total rebuilds. I only recommend rebuilding when the numbers justify it.
Do you handle hosting and migrations too?
Yes. If the site needs a hosting move, a safer deployment flow, or a staged migration, I can handle that as part of the work.
Need a WordPress site sorted out?
If the site is slow, unstable, or painful to maintain, send over the details and I will tell you what I would fix first.
