You will get your slow WordPress site diagnosed and optimized for real performance gains

Project details
Slow WordPress sites are almost always caused by one of three things: uncached expensive database queries, bloated theme or page builders, or hosting configuration issues. Most "WordPress speed optimization" services just install caching plugins and call it done — that fixes the symptom, not the cause.
I diagnose the actual cause and fix it at the right layer.
What I do: full performance audit using browser dev tools and server-side profiling, identification of slow database queries with explain plans, review of theme and plugin architecture for known issues, hosting configuration review, implementation of fixes (often involving database indexes, query rewrites, opcache tuning, or asset optimization), and a written report of what was wrong and what I changed.
What you get: a measurably faster site, a clear understanding of what was wrong, and recommendations for keeping it fast. Real metrics — before-and-after PageSpeed scores, TTFB, page load times — so improvement is visible, not theoretical.

About Olatunde
Senior WordPress Developer | Custom Plugins, Paystack & SaaS Architect
Ibadan, Nigeria - 6:48 am local time
Live work you can verify (see Portfolio section below):
- ChurchVault — Multi-tenant church finance SaaS with HQ-and-branches hierarchy, multi-currency accounting in Naira, US Dollars and British Pounds, recurring Paystack subscriptions, strategic-partner programme. 4 plugins, around 13,000 lines of PHP.

What clients hire me for:
- Custom WordPress plugins, built from scratch (not theme customization)
- SaaS architectures with Paystack, Stripe, and other payment integrations
- Multi-tenant platforms with HQ and branch hierarchies and approval workflows
- Custom REST API endpoints with HMAC-verified webhooks
- Performance and database optimization for production WordPress
- WordPress security incidents - malware removal, hacked-site recovery, hardening
- Site migrations, rescue work on broken or corrupted installations
- Make and Twilio automation tied to WordPress
How I work:
I use native WordPress APIs end-to-end - prepared statements, nonces, capability checks, WP-Cron - with no boilerplate frameworks, no JavaScript build pipelines, no off-the-shelf membership or LMS plugins. Standard PHP infrastructure today, same stack in three years - no build-pipeline rot, no framework lock-in.
Engineering aesthetic: production-quality from day one. Database guards over application locks. Idempotency by design. Communication that's clear, honest, and on schedule.
I bring a complete senior-engineer credential trail to every engagement: live platforms with verifiable URLs in my Portfolio section, GitHub presence with two open-source repositories demonstrating senior PHP patterns, 12 years of professional WordPress experience, and a Master of Arts from the University of Ibadan.
Available for senior engagements - let's talk about what you're building.
Steps for completing your project
After purchasing the project, send requirements so Olatunde can start the project.
Delivery time starts when Olatunde receives requirements from you.
Olatunde works on your project following the steps below.
Revisions may occur after the delivery date.
Diagnostic audit and bottleneck identification
I run a complete performance audit using browser dev tools, server-side profiling, and database query analysis. You receive a written report identifying the actual bottlenecks — what is slow, why, and at which layer of the stack.
Optimization plan and approval
Based on the audit, I propose a specific optimization plan with expected impact for each fix. You approve the plan before I make any changes. No vague promises — clear, measurable improvements with realistic targets.
