About this Gig
A WooCommerce store took 45 seconds to load after a traffic spike. CPU usage was so high that the host threatened to suspend the instance. The client was losing customers daily and needed an urgent fix.
What I found: No gzip compression, PHP OPcache disabled, Nginx running on a single worker process, MySQL innodb_buffer_pool_size set to its 8 MB default on a 4 GB RAM server, no Redis or object caching layer, and HTTP/2 not enabled despite a valid SSL certificate.
What I did: I tuned Nginx worker processes and connections, enabled gzip compression for HTML, CSS, JS, and JSON, activated PHP OPcache with production settings, scaled MySQL buffer pool to 1 GB and optimized query cache, installed and configured Redis for WooCommerce object and session caching, enabled HTTP/2 on the SSL virtual host, and added 30-day browser caching headers for all static assets.
Result: Response time dropped from 4.2 seconds to 380ms, a 90% improvement. Bounce rate fell 31% within two weeks. Peak CPU usage dropped 78%. The host stopped flagging the account entirely. The client reported a noticeable lift in completed checkouts the following week. Total implementation time: under 6 hours.

FAQ
What information do you need to get started?
I'll need SSH or RDP access to your server, your hosting provider details, and a brief description of the issue or goal. Everything is handled confidentially and securely.
Do you work on shared hosting or only VPS/dedicated servers?
I primarily work on VPS, dedicated, and cloud servers where root or admin access is available. For shared hosting, options are limited — message me first and I'll let you know if I can help.
How long does server optimization or setup take?
Most configurations and optimizations are completed within 24–48 hours. Complex multi-server setups or migrations may take longer. I'll give you a clear timeline before starting.
Will my website or app go down during the work?
A: I always work to minimize downtime. For most optimizations, there is zero downtime. If a restart is required, I'll schedule it at your lowest traffic time and notify you in advance.
Do you offer support after the work is done?
Yes. I provide post-delivery support within the gig window. If issues arise from my work, I'll fix them at no extra charge.
Is my server and data safe with you?
Absolutely. I follow strict security practices, never store client credentials, and can work under NDA if required. Your data and access details are fully protected.
What if the problem is more complex than expected?
I'll always communicate upfront if the scope exceeds the package. No surprise charges — you'll approve any additional work before I proceed.
