I provide professional WordPress service for self-hosted sites since 2005.

WordPress Optimization

• Scripts/CSS minification, async load, modular bundles and critical CSS preload
• Images and assets CDN support ($$):
  • Jetpack Site Accelerator (Formerly Photon) CDN with edge nodes in China. Powered by Experiments by Sparanoid. Serving with WebP based on different requests is also supported
  • AWS S3 + CloudFront CDN support with China PoPs acceleration
  • Alibaba Cloud (aka. Aliyun) object storage with full assets CDN acceleration
  • Object Storage offloading: store all media files on object storage service like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Alibaba Cloud, or S3-compatible services. You can also remove all media files locally to keep your WordPress installation small and clean.
• Cache optimizations:
  • Database query and cache optimization. Dedicated and database clusters supported. Transients fine-tuning ($$$)
  • PHP-FPM parameter optimization
  • PHP APCu/OPcache optimization
  • Nginx cache and configuration optimization
• Special optimizations for servers in China ($$):
  • Make sharing service like auto-post to X (Twitter), Tumblr work for servers in China
  • Access blocked (but legal) services in China: Reddit embeds, Twitter embeds, Jetpack proxy and stats servers.
• Improved connectivity for users/visitors in China:
  • Jetpack connectivity: proxying WordPress.com Comments, WordPress.com Stats, and etc. to make them accessible in China mainland
  • CDN with extra edge nodes in China mainland

With all the optimizations, I can achieve TTFB (Time to First Byte) under 40 ms for dynamic pages. 30 ms for static pages (WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache with static caching configured).

WordPress Development

• Theme design:
• Next.js with GraphQL (WPGraphQL) / REST API + SSR support ($$$)
• Responsive and mobile-first design based on Automattic _s frameworks ($$$)
• You can request zero-dependencies feature for the best front-end performance ($$$)
• Custom infinite loading support with proper URL history push and fixed page footer configured
• FontAwesome Pro license for extended customization
• Plugin/feature development ($$$):
• Custom features based on requirements. Can be delivered as a plugin or functions.php right in your theme

Please note that I do not accept any theme modification request for existing themes: most themes you bought from ThemeForest or other platforms are bloated and slow because they’re tending to make their themes fitting every use cases in order to get more sales. They may also have weird bugs that waste my time debugging or asking for their customer support to fix them. So it’s ineffective to work with this kind of projects.

WordPress DevOps

• Setup consulting: help you choose the right hardware, architecture, and servers based on your need
• Dockerize existing WordPress instance for better scalability ($$)
• Manage Presslabs Kubernetes on Google Cloud Platform for large-scale WordPress instances ($$)
• Full-site backup configurations
  • Off-site backup to AWS S3, S3-compatible services, Dropbox, OneDrive for Business, SFTP, etc.)
  • Real-time snapshot backups configuration for VaultPress with extra SOCKS5 tunnel for servers in China to accelerate the backup transfer
  • Media offload backup to S3 or S3 compatible storage
• Managing WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates
• Plugins/features consulting: help you choose the right plugins for your feature requirement
• SSL/HTTP certificates maintenance and optimization

Pricing

Price is based on quotes. Minimum $3,000 per project. I can provide custom SLA and contract billing (from a US-based company I own) for enterprise service.

I can also provide VAT-specific Fapiao if you have a company in China mainland that requires Fapiao when providing service.
