My corporate WordPress site slowed to a crawl after a developer began “improving” it in August 2025. Since then I’ve noticed messy layouts and an overall dip in performance. I want every file, plugin, snippet, or setting she introduced completely removed so the site returns to its pre-August state, then tuned for speed and stability. Scope of work • Audit the WordPress installation to pinpoint anything added or altered after August 2025—plugins, themes, custom code, database entries, media files—and safely roll all of it back. Freelancers must review the site at [login to view URL] to assess the issues before proceeding. • Reinstate the original corporate design and layout, correcting any visual glitches that surfaced during her rewrite. • Address the slow loading speed: optimise images, configure caching, clean the database, fine-tune theme files, and verify that Core Web Vitals are in the green. Deliverables 1. Clean, fully functional WordPress site with the unwanted additions removed. 2. Consistent design that matches the original corporate branding. 3. Page load time under three seconds on GTmetrix or similar tool. 4. Brief hand-over report summarising what was removed, what was optimised, and recommendations for future upkeep. Please let me know your preferred rollback strategy and how quickly you can begin.

Hi, I reviewed your corporate WordPress site issue: it became extremely slow after August 2025 changes, with messy layout and performance drop. I’ll audit the installation end-to-end to locate anything introduced or altered, plugins, themes, custom snippets, database entries, and media, then safely roll the site back to its pre-August state. Using the same WordPress structure, I’ll restore the original layout and fix visual glitches, then optimize for speed and stability. I’ll tune theme files, clean the database, optimize images, and configure caching so your pages consistently load faster and remain stable. You’ll get clean, fully functional output with Core Web Vitals improving and a short hand-over report for future upkeep. Let’s discuss here now.

This looks like a great fit, Hi, I will audit every plugin, theme file, and database entry added after August 2025, roll it all back on a staging copy first so your live site is never touched, then restore your original corporate layout and optimize for sub three second loads on GTmetrix. Questions: 1) Do you have a backup or snapshot from before August 2025, or will I reconstruct the baseline from revision history? 2) Are you on managed hosting (WP Engine, Kinsta) or a standard cPanel setup? Share your site URL and hosting login, and I will start the audit today. Looking forward to talking through the details. Kamran

Hi, Rolling back blindly is risky, so I’d first compare the current site against backups, Git history (if available), and WordPress logs to identify exactly what changed after August 2025. Once the unwanted plugins, code, and database changes are removed, I’ll restore the original layout and optimize caching, images, and the database to bring performance back. I have extensive experience recovering and optimizing WordPress websites after failed updates and customizations. Let’s talk over chat and discuss it over a call.

I’ve handled WordPress cleanups like this before where a site was left slower and visually inconsistent after partial redevelopment. For your project, I would first identify everything introduced after August 2025, remove or reverse it safely, then fix the design glitches and work on caching, database cleanup, and image/performance tuning. I can also provide a short handover summary so future upkeep is easier. Ready to get started as soon as you share access.

WordPress site rollbacks after unwanted developer changes are a common fix, and the approach depends on whether you have a pre-August backup. Here's how we'll handle both scenarios: With a backup: restore it to staging first, verify the pre-August state matches your memory of the site, then push to production — clean rollback in hours. Without a backup: audit the change log (plugin install dates, file modification timestamps, database revision history) to isolate everything added after August 2025. Remove those plugins, revert theme customizations, clean out any rogue database entries, and restore the original CSS/PHP. Speed optimization layer (regardless of rollback method): audit PageSpeed score, enable caching (WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache depending on your host), optimize images, minimize unused CSS/JS, and configure browser caching headers. Target: sub-2s load on a cold request. Deliverable: before/after PageSpeed screenshots, a summary of what was removed or reversed, and a brief maintenance note so you can spot unauthorized changes earlier next time. Do you have a backup from before August 2025, or will we need to work from the current files?

Hi, I’ve worked on WordPress performance and cleanup projects where the main goal was restoring stability, removing unwanted changes, and improving site speed without affecting the existing business functionality. I understand the challenge of identifying changes introduced by previous work and safely rolling them back while preserving the original design.

Hi, your site needs a careful rollback, not just a quick cleanup. The priority is to identify everything added since August 2025, remove it safely, and restore the original corporate look without breaking content or templates. I’ve handled WordPress recovery work involving plugin conflicts, custom code removal, theme repair, caching, image optimisation, and database cleanup. I’m comfortable tracing changes across files, database tables, and media uploads, then verifying the result on a staging copy before touching production. My approach would be: audit all post-August changes, compare against backups or the last stable state, remove unwanted additions, restore the original layout, then tune performance and confirm Core Web Vitals and GTmetrix results. I’d finish with a concise hand-over report so you know exactly what changed. If you’d like, I can start as soon as access is ready. Best regards, Gabriel

Hello! Your corporate WordPress site needs performance restored after changes made in August slowed everything down. I can audit the recent modifications, roll back problematic code, and get your site running smoothly again. I've worked extensively with PHP and WordPress core to diagnose slowdowns caused by poorly optimized plugins, inefficient database queries, and bloated custom code. My experience with MySQL lets me identify slow queries and indexing issues that drag down page load times, while my HTML and web development background ensures clean markup and efficient rendering. I've handled similar WordPress restoration projects where recent updates introduced performance bottlenecks. Here's how I'll restore your site: - Audit all changes made since August to identify the root cause of the slowdown - Review MySQL query performance and optimize database tables causing delays - Clean up or replace inefficient PHP code and remove unnecessary plugin overhead - Test page load times and server response to confirm performance is back to normal What specific symptoms are you seeing beyond slow load times — timeout errors, database connection issues, or admin panel lag? I'm ready to start diagnosing and fixing this immediately. We can coordinate all details through Freelancer messages. Best regards, Jordan Rafael G.

Hello, "Full WordPress Rollback & Speed Tune‑Up" - site slowed and layout broken. I’ll start by cloning the current site, then compare the file system and database to the backup from before August 2025 using WP‑CLI diff tools – this lets us safely revert only the changes. I rebuilt a clean WordPress site with custom theme and plugins: https://www.freelancer.com/projects/web-design/Classic-Articles-Website-with-Email/reviews I’ll also handle serialized data migrations and remove orphaned tables to keep the database lean, preventing future slowdowns. Do you have a pre‑August backup or staging copy I can use for the rollback? Looking forward to working with you. Artur Giżycki
