I have a fully-functioning WordPress site that needs to feel lighter and safer the moment a visitor lands on it. My top priority is noticeably faster page-load times, and I want that improvement to be reflected in stronger Core Web Vitals scores. Right now the pages work, but they are not as snappy as they should be, especially on first paint, and that sluggishness is beginning to affect engagement. Alongside the performance work, I also want robust malware scanning and clean-up routines in place so that any threat is detected and neutralised before it impacts users or search rankings. An SSL is already installed and the host provides basic fire-wall rules, so your focus will be on hardening the site at the application level and ensuring ongoing integrity checks. Deliverables I expect: • Page-load times trimmed to meet Google’s “Good” threshold for LCP, FID and CLS on both desktop and mobile. • Caching, image optimisation, database clean-up and script deferral set up and documented. • A malware-scanning solution configured, with an initial deep scan and removal of anything suspicious. • A concise hand-off note outlining the changes made, plugins or code snippets added, and how to keep everything updated. I’m flexible on the optimisation stack—whether you prefer WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, Cloudflare or a custom mix—so long as the end results are measurable and stable. If this sounds like a quick win you can deliver, let’s talk timelines and choose the best tools for the job.
