My WordPress site is battling slow load times, a worrying bounce rate and even the occasional downtime. I’m looking for someone who can tackle the problem from two angles at once: sharpen overall SEO while tightening every bolt on the hosting side. Here’s what I need solved right away: • Server optimisation – fine-tune PHP, MySQL and Web Server configs, introduce full-page caching and, if beneficial, a CDN so pages open in under two seconds. • Security management – harden the stack (firewall rules, malware scanning, WAF or ModSecurity, SSL best practices) to keep intrusions at bay without hurting speed. • Backup solutions – set up reliable, automated daily backups with off-site storage and easy one-click restores. While you work under-the-hood, I’d also like a practical SEO audit that pinpoints any technical or on-page bottlenecks contributing to the high bounce rate. Feel free to recommend schema, image optimisation, internal-link improvements or lightweight plugins—whatever keeps the site lean and search-friendly. Success for me means: • Core Web Vitals in the green, <2 s first contentful paint • 99.9 % uptime over a 30-day period • Clean security scan reports and verifiable daily backups • A concise SEO action sheet I can follow to maintain gains If this sounds like your wheelhouse, tell me how you’d approach it and roughly how long you’d need.
