WordPress Speed & UX Overhaul

Job ID: 39800085

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

My WordPress site is starting to creak under its own weight and needs a full-scale tidy-up. The most obvious problem is in the content area: elements refuse to line up, padding is inconsistent, and a few rogue images keep drifting off-grid. I want those visual glitches ironed out through theme adjustments and precise CSS fixes—nothing hacky that will break after the next update.

Beyond the layout, I’m ready for a deep performance and maintenance sweep. I’d like you to:

• Audit every plugin, recommend which to retire or replace, and swap heavy tools for lighter alternatives. I don’t have a preset list, so your expert guidance is essential.
• Clear out the database—post revisions, transients, spam, anything that bloats the tables.
• Boost speed with image compression, caching, lazy loading, and minified CSS/JS so the site scores well on Core Web Vitals.
• Tweak mobile styles in the Customizer to ensure perfect responsiveness across common breakpoints.
• Bring WordPress core, the theme, and all active plugins up to date, adding any security hardening that keeps the install stable.
• Refine UI/UX details such as button placement, font consistency, and sensible spacing.

When you’re done I expect a noticeably faster load time, a clean admin area, and pixel-perfect layouts on desktop and mobile. Please outline your approach, the tools you prefer for optimization (e.g., WP-Optimize, Autoptimize, or similar), and an estimated timeline for completing the work.
