Maintenance
Website speed-up, technical bug fixing and security protection
Fixing and protecting slow, broken or outdated websites and webshops.
This service focuses on fixing existing websites and webshops that load slowly, struggle with errors, are outdated or pose a security risk. Many businesses do not need a brand-new website: the design of the existing site is good, but the system crawls in the background, plugins break, or Google gives it a poor score for slowness.
A single second of delay in loading measurably reduces purchases and quote requests, and search engines also rank slow pages lower. The aim of the service is to optimize your existing code, database and media, remove the technical bugs and build protection against break-ins, leaving the website's design untouched while making it lightning-fast.
Which tasks and areas does the service cover?
- A drastic increase in loading speed (Google PageSpeed 90+)
- Converting images and media files to modern formats (WebP/AVIF) and compressing them losslessly.
- Minifying source code (CSS, JavaScript, HTML) and removing unnecessary scripts and render-blocking elements.
- Advanced server-side and browser caching, and setting up a content delivery network (Cloudflare CDN).
- Technical bug fixing and recovery after updates
- Fixing broken templates, malfunctioning forms and stuck buttons.
- Resolving incompatibility errors that appear after version updates (CMS engine, PHP version, plugins), without data loss.
- Quick correction of mobile-view errors and broken links (404 pages).
- Backup, malware cleaning and protection
- Fully cleaning malicious code from hacked sites, sites sending spam or sites blacklisted by Google.
- Setting up intrusion-protection modules, two-factor authentication and a firewall (WAF) against brute-force attacks.
- Building an automatic cloud backup protocol, from which the site can be restored with one click after any fault.
- Database cleaning and maintenance
- Removing accumulated unnecessary revisions, orphaned transient data and spam comments.
- Compressing and indexing the database tables for faster queries.
The steps of the project
- Starting state and backup: A detailed speed and error audit (Google PageSpeed, GTmetrix), then a full, untouched backup.
- Test environment or safe working: For riskier interventions I run the fixes in a cloned test environment, so visitors to the live website see no outage at all.
- Troubleshooting and code optimization: I remove the scripts that generate errors, clean up the database and set up the caching layers.
- Media compression and CDN connection: I automate image handling and switch on the server-level protection modules.
- Measurement and handover: I re-measure the site, compare the starting and final speed values and hand over the measurement report.
What does the handover include?
- A noticeably faster, error-free website.
- An official "before / after" comparison of Google PageSpeed and loading speed.
- An installed and configured automatic backup mechanism.
- A clean, protected admin interface with hardened login points.
How we work and how it is priced
- Fixed project price: Based on the size of the website (a simple showcase site or a webshop with thousands of products) and the severity of the faults, we agree on a fixed amount in advance.
- Guarantee on the repairs carried out: If any feature breaks after an update or a fix, I correct it immediately and free of charge.
