My WordPress site needs three things, in this order: a full-site backup, a noticeable bump in loading speed, and fresh attention to its local-listing SEO. 1. Full backup Before you touch a single setting, create a complete copy—database, files, everything—and give me both a downloadable archive and clear instructions for restoring it if ever needed. 2. Speed optimisation I’m focused on front-end performance first: faster Time to First Byte, leaner CSS/JS delivery, proper server-side caching and any low-hanging fruit that will shave seconds off load time. If you see quick wins in image compression or code clean-up while you’re in there, feel free to suggest them; I’ll green-light anything that doesn’t compromise design or functionality. 3. Local SEO tune-up Once the site is humming, tighten up on-page signals that feed Google Business Profile, Maps, and other local directories—meta data alignment, NAP consistency, and any schema tweaks that help me rank in my immediate service area. I already handle content; I need your technical touch. Deliverables • Restorable full-site backup file • Post-optimisation report with before/after speed metrics • Checklist of local SEO actions taken and recommendations for next steps WordPress admin and hosting logins will be provided once we agree on timing. I’m aiming for a clean, reversible process and clear documentation so I’m never flying blind after the job is complete.
