My WordPress install has become noticeably sluggish—most painfully inside the admin area—so I want an expert to dig in and make it fly. The sole focus is speed optimisation; Key areas to tackle: • Page-load time across the entire site, with the admin dashboard treated as top priority • Image optimisation (compression, next-gen formats, lazy loading) • Reducing or replacing any plugin that adds unnecessary weight What I expect from you • A clear before-and-after benchmark using tools such as GTmetrix, Google PageSpeed Insights or Lighthouse • A concise report of every plugin you disabled, removed, or swapped, plus the reasoning behind each change • Configuration of caching, minification and CDN settings (if applicable) to achieve consistent sub-2-second loads on standard desktop/mobile tests I’ll provide full admin and FTP access as soon as we start. Please outline the stack or plugins you prefer working with—WP Rocket, Autoptimize, Imagify, ShortPixel, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.—and any advance steps you’d like me to handle before you begin.
