I need a hands-on Laravel developer (no agencies, please) to tune up an already-launched site. The immediate goal is improving performance across the web layer, with special attention on the payment flow. You’ll profile the current code, spot the bottlenecks that slow users down at checkout, then refine both the backend logic and the front-end touches so the interface feels smooth and responsive. Key points: • Focus is on performance improvements. • The payment journey needs a cleaner, more intuitive UI while maintaining full transactional integrity. Successful work here will open the door to a larger engagement—the full companion app is next on the roadmap, and I’d prefer to keep working with the same developer once these corrections prove your skill. Clean commits, clear communication, and measurable gains (faster load, snappier redirects, error-free logs) are what I’ll use to sign off each milestone. If this sounds like your kind of challenge, I’m ready to start right away.
