My sports news platform is getting plenty of traffic, yet page loads are still dragging. I need a specialist to dive into the codebase, hosting setup and asset pipeline to squeeze every millisecond possible out of the site. The primary objective is crystal-clear: boost overall performance with a sharp focus on loading speed. You’ll start with an audit using Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals and any other diagnostics you trust, then move straight into actionable fixes—image compression, CSS/JS minification, lazy-loading, smarter caching rules, database query tuning, server-side tweaks, CDN configuration, you name it. I’m open to front-end and back-end adjustments as long as they translate into noticeably faster first paint, Largest Contentful Paint, and Time to Interactive. Once optimised, please benchmark again and supply before-and-after metrics so we can quantify the win. Deliverables • Initial performance report with priority list of fixes • Implemented optimisations across templates and assets • Final report showing improved load times and Core Web Vitals I’ll handle any design or feature discussions separately; for this engagement, it’s all about speed. If shaving seconds off a high-traffic sports site sounds like your kind of challenge, let’s get started.
