My entire site runs through a single index.php file, and ever since I tweaked part of the homepage code it has started dragging—first content appears, then the rest stalls for several seconds. Every now and then a PHP warning flashes up, but it vanishes on refresh, so I know something inside that updated block is misbehaving. I need a PHP developer who can jump in today, isolate the slow section, and get the page opening quickly again without breaking anything else. The stack is straightforward: PHP 8.0 on a shared cPanel host with MySQL. I’ll supply the current index.php, database access, and FTP credentials the moment we start. Deliverables should be concise: • Optimised index.php (clearly commented) • Brief report outlining the bottleneck found, the fix applied, and any quick wins I can implement later for extra speed Once the homepage loads smoothly on my server I’ll release payment. Please only bid if you can begin right away and comfortably work within my tight budget.
