WordPress Site Performance Optimization

I'm looking for an experienced WordPress / Full-Stack developer to optimize performance of an existing WordPress website.

The main goal of the project is to improve server response time, speed up media delivery, and increase overall performance metrics and user experience. The website is already live and functional — no new features are required. The focus is strictly on performance optimization and infrastructure improvements.

High-level scope includes:
• WordPress caching configuration (multi-level caching)
• Server-side performance improvements
• CDN integration for media delivery
• Image optimization and lazy loading
• Frontend performance tuning
• Core Web Vitals improvements
• Performance testing and benchmarking
• Documentation and handoff

The project will involve working with caching plugins, server configuration, CDN setup, and optimization of existing media files. The developer should be comfortable working with WordPress performance, caching strategies, and CDN-based image delivery.

Important notes:
• Website is already live and production-ready
• Staging environment will be provided (or agreed before start)
• No redesign or new functionality required
• No content creation required
• Optimization will be done on a defined set of key pages
• Work should include testing, validation, and documentation

Technical environment:
• Modern WordPress setup
• Standard plugin-based architecture
• CDN will be used for media delivery
• Performance measured using Lighthouse / Core Web Vitals

Deliverables:
• Improved performance metrics
• Faster loading key pages
• Proper caching configuration
• CDN integration for images
• Migration/optimization of existing media
• Documentation of configuration and changes

Please include in your proposal:
• Your experience with WordPress performance optimization
• Examples of similar projects
• Tools/plugins you typically use
• Experience with CDN integration
