PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE CONTACT - MY SITE IS AN ADULT SITE- CUPIDESCORTS.CO.UK - ONLY GET IN TOUCH IF YOU HAVE NO ISSUE WORKING ON ADULT SITES.
I IDEALLY WANT TO WORK WITH AN ENGLISH DEVELOPER, I HAVE HAD LANGUAGE BARRIER ISSUES IN THE PAST. AT LEAST YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK PERFECT ENGLISH. I WILL ONLY REPLY TO PEOPLE WITH HISTORY ON PPH AND DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE SUITABLE EXPERIENCE.
This task was going to be completed by my current web developer, but he has stated it would make more sense to hire someone with much more server config experience. I have recently changed my server from a shared one to a dedicated one with Hostinger. Previous experience with Hostinger would be a bonus, but not necessary if you have the relevant experience. Please see below the task and info sent to the previous developer
This one is kind of a 3 parter. As you can imagine, I have changed the server to increase speed and generally improve reliability. When I moved servers recently it seemed a lot faster for admin, but when the transfer was complete, the back-end system was perhaps even slower than the shared one. I raised this with the new server guys hoping they could see why and resolve it. They didn't. I need you to see what is causing conflicts and make the admin system run faster.
I need the site to perform better as a whole. One thing that has never been great is the speed an escort profile opens. Navigating to a location is pretty fast, but opening profiles isn't that fast. I believe there are a number of scripts associated. A little more info on this, I have always used WProcket to cache all content for 6 hours, and then after 6 hours all profiles and ads rotate, so if people revisit the site at a later date, it looks different. WProcket is now off as the server people advised to use Lite cache and CDN services instead. They state they have set Lite cache to cache and change every 6 hours, but I am not sure that it is working correctly.
And the final part of the site's speed is the vitals judged by Google (See screens attached). I have been working on passing all the website vitals for close to a year now. From January to recently all URLs for desktop were good, and mobile had 30+ that needed improvement until the 20th of Feb. Then for a period of 3-4 weeks all URLs were good, with no more issues. Then on the 13th of March, the urls needed improvement and now they have gone to poor again. After the server change recently, I have checked and the mobile ones have gone from poor to need improvement but the desktop remains poor. When they started failing again no development was or had been done on the site which could have caused this, nothing had changed apart from plugin updates. That's what one of my devs said must have caused it. I need these all good again and ideally stay that way.
So to sum up the project.
- Improve speed of the site for admin, logged-in users and general visitors whilst not changing the functionality of the site -CACHE FOR 6 HOURS NEEDS TO STAY - Make all Google vitals good and to stay that way
My current developer suggested the below to fix the issues above.
- Remove any unused plugins - Pick 1 form plugin and recreate other forms in it, I noticed you have Contact Form 7 and Caldera both installed - Configure CSS, JS and HTML minify, deferred and combination settings in LiteSpeed cache - Configure Page and Object Caching settings - Optimise media files for faster delivery - Consider upgrading PHP to a newer version - Review scripts in ESLST-PTPL-custom plugin as a lot of the queries from this plugin are slow in execution - Explore caching the WP Admin Dashboard with LiteSpeed cache
I imagine I will get several offers for this project. I will most likely take the most reasonable offer with the quickest complete time. I have a staging site for all these configs to be worked on.
I have one more small task to complete after this too but I will mention that if this can be completed.
