Local WordPress Theme Deployment Audit

A pre-built WordPress theme is ready but still sitting in its ZIP. I will pass you the archive, database dump and any credentials so you can spin it up in a local environment, confirm every template, widget and plugin behaves as intended, and give me a clear picture of where the project stands.

My top concern right now is loading speed and overall performance, so once the site is running I’d like a quick benchmark using the performance-testing tool you trust most.

Deliverables I expect at this first milestone:
• A fully working local installation (code + database)
• A concise status report that lists any issues fixed, remaining bottlenecks, and objective speed metrics

Please wrap up that report with your professional recommendations—especially thoughts on optimisation paths and what it will take to layer in e-commerce functionality next.

Theme files, access details and SSH keys will be sent immediately after kickoff, and I’d love to have your findings back within a few days so we can decide on the next phase together.
