I am seeking a skilled freelancer with experience in WebSockets and chat applications to improve my existing chat room script, which currently uses long polling. The goal is to enhance the speed and responsiveness of the chat functionality by implementing WebSockets.

Modifying the front-end and back-end code to support real-time communication via WebSockets.
Ensuring compatibility with existing features, such as user authentication and message storage.
