I’ve worked with web hosting and WordPress environments since the age of 16 and now have over 15 years of hands-on experience managing, optimising, and securing real production websites. My background covers shared hosting, VPS environments, dedicated servers, and fully managed WordPress platforms. I currently run a fully managed WordPress hosting platform built on my own custom infrastructure stack. This includes LiteSpeed Enterprise, CloudLinux, cPanel/WHM, hardened PHP environments, advanced caching strategies, and CDN integration. I’ve designed, deployed, and maintained this stack myself, focusing on performance, stability, and security rather than “one-click” solutions. A key part of my work has been developing automation and operational tooling, including CDN auto-provisioning, cache purge synchronisation between WordPress and edge services, proactive maintenance routines, and server-level hardening. These systems are used daily in live environments and are built to reduce downtime, prevent misconfiguration, and maintain consistent performance. My core expertise is WordPress performance optimisation and reliability. This includes reducing TTFB, improving Core Web Vitals, optimising PageSpeed scores, tuning server response times, configuring caching correctly, and diagnosing bottlenecks that plugin-only approaches miss. I also handle safe zero-downtime WordPress migrations, database cleanup, and recovery from broken updates. On the security side, I work with layered protection at both server and application level, including malware detection and cleanup, isolation, firewall rules, brute-force mitigation, and ongoing monitoring. I regularly resolve hacked or compromised WordPress sites and put long-term protections in place rather than temporary fixes. Alongside hosting and performance, I have strong experience with on-page SEO and technical SEO fundamentals, ensuring sites are structurally sound, crawlable, fast, and aligned with modern search performance
