I run an online store and the pages that matter most—my home page, product pages, and the entire checkout flow—are loading far too slowly. From what I can tell, third-party scripts and plugins are the main culprits, but I need a specialist to confirm this and fix the problem without breaking any vital functionality. Your task is to dig into the codebase, hosting setup, and external integrations, identify every bottleneck, and deliver measurable gains in real-world load times. I’m looking for solid, provable improvements rather than cosmetic tweaks: think smart caching, script deferral, asset minification, lazy-loading where appropriate, and a thorough audit of the plugins that power the store. Acceptance criteria • Home, product, and checkout pages each hit a consistent sub-2-second fully loaded time on both mobile and desktop (tested with GTmetrix and PageSpeed Insights). • No core e-commerce features or tracking integrations are lost during the process. • A short hand-off report outlines exactly what you changed and how to maintain these gains. If you’re comfortable working on a live e-commerce site and can show past speed wins, I’m ready to get started right away.
