Are you a highly-experienced WordPress developer who thrives on tackling complex website issues? Do you have a proven track record of resolving security, performance, and error resolution problems? If so, we want to hear from you!
About the Company
We are a company looking for a talented full-stack WordPress developer to investigate and resolve chronic crashing issues impacting our two websites. This is an immediate project with the possibility of future maintenance opportunities.
The Challenge
Our WordPress websites are experiencing frequent crashes, resulting in errors like 503 or 508. These crashes prevent visitors from accessing the sites and can even bring down other websites on our shared hosting plan. We suspect the crashes may be caused by bot attacks or traffic spikes, as our typical visitor traffic is low, or by plugins as we see logs errors related to plugins.
We currently use cPanel and have a shared, small hosting plan. In the past, our hosting provider has increased the number of processes and even moved the site to a dedicated server, but the crashing issues persisted.
What You'll Do
- Investigate the root cause of the website crashes
- Implement a permanent solution to prevent future crashes and ensure website stability
- Address any security vulnerabilities that may be contributing to the crashes
- If necessary, perform speed optimization for both websites (previous attempts by an optimization agency were unsuccessful)
- Collaborate with our team to understand the business needs and ensure the solution prioritizes the stability of our commercial website.
You are the ideal candidate if you have:
- Extensive experience developing and troubleshooting complex WordPress websites
- A proven ability to resolve security, performance, and error resolution issues
- In-depth knowledge of WordPress security best practices
- Experience with website optimization techniques
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- A passion for delivering high-quality work and exceeding expectations
- Immediate availability to start the project
- Experience working with shared hosting environments and cPanel (without root access)
- Experience troubleshooting bot attacks and implementing preventative measures (we use Cloudflare and BlogVault)
This is a fantastic opportunity for a highly-skilled WordPress developer to make a real impact on our business. If you're confident you have the expertise to solve our website crashing issues and are available to start immediately, we encourage you to apply!
