Common problems
Speed is revenue. A slow site kills conversions and hurts Google rankings.
I don't just add a caching plugin. I audit your code, database, and server to remove the deep-level bottlenecks slowing you down. The result is a site that passes Core Web Vitals and keeps customers engaged.
Recurring bugs are a sign of weak foundations. Workarounds are costing you time.
I use deep-level diagnostics to find the root cause — whether it is a plugin conflict or legacy code — and fix it permanently. No sticking plasters.
A compromised site destroys your reputation instantly.
As a cybersecurity engineer with a Master's from UWS, I don't guess with safety. I harden your site against attacks, clean up compromised data, and implement Zero Trust protocols to protect your business.
Off-the-shelf plugins are often bloated and insecure.
I write clean, hand-coded functionality that does exactly what you need it to do — nothing more, nothing less. This keeps your site lightweight and secure.
It is a frustratingly common story. You have been left with a half-finished or unstable site.
I specialise in rescue projects. I audit the mess, explain the issues in plain English, and execute a prioritised plan to get you back on track.
Access to high-quality technical work should not depend on budget size.
I dedicate time each month to grassroots organisations doing important work on limited budgets — citizen-led campaigns, mutual aid groups, and community organisers. Not national charities. If that is you, get in touch.
What I do
Every engagement handled by me directly. No sub-contracting, no juniors, no handoffs.
I go beyond standard optimisation. I refactor inefficient code and tune your database to deliver speed that lasts — not just a temporary boost. Core Web Vitals passed and held under load.
Speed that holds.
A cybersecurity engineer with a background in compliance at Critical National Infrastructure level. I implement Zero Trust protocols, reduce the attack surface, and clean up after compromise.
Protected by design.
The bug nobody else can reproduce. The crash that only happens at scale. The regression that appeared after an update. I trace these to their root cause — no guesswork, no sticking plasters.
Root cause found. Gone permanently.
When the plugin doesn't exist or the existing one is the problem. I write clean, single-purpose code that does exactly what you need and nothing it doesn't. Lightweight and maintainable.
Bespoke. No bloat.
Search engines penalise technical problems. Crawl errors, canonicalisation failures, Core Web Vitals, structured data — I fix what's preventing your site from being found and indexed correctly.
Crawlable. Indexable. Structured correctly.
Ongoing management from someone who knows your site inside out. Staged updates, security monitoring, performance tracking, and off-site backups. Active management, not set-and-forget.
Stable. Monitored. Always improving.

How I work
You should never have to guess what your developer is doing. My process is boringly predictable — by design.
You send me your requirements by email. I review everything carefully and tell you honestly whether I'm the right person to help.
I perform a forensic audit of your site and identify root causes. You receive a fixed-price proposal — no estimates, no guesswork.
I execute the work asynchronously, maintaining deep focus. You receive clear updates at every key milestone.
I walk you through every change in plain English. You leave fully confident in managing your improved site.
We discuss a Technical Assurance Plan to keep your site secure, fast, and stable for the long term.

Proof of work
Talk is cheap. Engineering is measurable. These are outcomes, not estimates.
Cart response time — was 30 seconds
A large agency blamed the server. The hosting company blamed the code. I looked at the data.
The site didn't need a bigger server. It needed better engineering.

Audit result — was Failed. Contract secured.
A US tech giant's security team blocked a lucrative contract. Fix it, or the deal is off.
Security is not just code. It is a business enabler.

DB queries per click — was 847
Revenue down 40% over a critical sales weekend. Every second of delay was burning ad spend.
A single bad plugin can bring a successful business to its knees.

My commitment
High-level technical work should not be a privilege reserved for corporations.
I dedicate time every month to helping the underdogs — citizen-led campaigns, mutual aid groups, and grassroots organisations doing important work on limited budgets. Not watered-down support. The same work.

"Jason is a top WordPress speed optimisation developer. He undertook our complex, plugin-heavy website significantly improving load times, reducing render-blocking from over 10 seconds to under 1, and resolved cumulative layout shifts—all while navigating the challenges of outdated plugins and heavy code. He has proactive communication and tailored recommendations. If you need wordpress expertise, Jason is the expert you need. We alway feel speed is the most challenging and Jason did an amazing job. We will continue to work together on other development tasks. Highly recommend!"
