Hi;
I'm an expert PHP programmer with some necessary skills to build complex webapps like MySQL, SQL Server and Sqlite databases with SQL query language; various Linux server administration skills like installing, modifying and optimizing servers like Apache, Nginx, Varnish, PHP accelerators.
Since Wordpress is the most populer CMS, I'm thrived in WP. I coded 10s of plugins, which some of them can be downloaded as open source.
To assure my customers about my work ethic, I do not ask upfront payments. Normally, unless there are many milestones for bigger projects, you test then pay.
Please BE aware that to make your site that fast, YOU MAY need to upgrade hosting, disable some plugins, or be prepared for some extreme code optimization. Its not the case for %90 of the situations, but since I dont have an URL to diagnose, have to make that warning.
Please check my bio for speed optimization work, testimonials and exams I took to show my skills.
Please feel free to ask questions, and I'll happily answer them.
Best Regards
