Project Description
My WordPress site is online and functional, yet it drags under traffic spikes and scores poorly on GTmetrix and Google PageSpeed Insights. I need a focused performance overhaul that starts with the database. Slow queries, bloated tables, and missing indexes are the biggest pain-points, so the first milestone is a concise audit with Query Monitor or a comparable profiler, followed by concrete fixes inside phpMyAdmin (or CLI) to trim, index, and optimize every table.
Once the database is lean, I want the overall loading speed tightened up. That will likely involve configuring or replacing the current caching solution (I’m open to WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.), deferring or minifying CSS/JS, and compressing images without breaking quality. Feel free to suggest server-level tweaks (e.g., object caching, OPcache, NGINX/Apache tuning) if they move the needle.
Because search visibility matters, please fold basic on-page SEO optimisation into the workflow—meta tags, schema markup, XML sitemaps, and any quick-win recommendations via Rank Math or Yoast. No exhaustive content rewrites are needed; it’s about making sure the technical foundation supports future growth.
Deliverables
• Database audit report and completed optimisations
• Speed benchmark before/after with GTmetrix & PageSpeed scores (aim: 90+ mobile/desktop, TTFB < 200 ms)
• Implemented caching & front-end performance tweaks, documented for future maintenance
• Technical SEO adjustments validated in Search Console
I’ll provide full WP-Admin and hosting access as soon as we agree on the plan. If you’re confident you can hit those targets without breaking existing functionality, let’s get started.
