PHP Maintenance & Rescue Services

Diagnostic & Bug Fixing
Diagnose, fix, stabilise

Websites break – that’s inevitable. But fixing them doesn’t have to be stressful. I specialise in finding the root cause quickly and implementing reliable, focused solutions without rewrites unless absolutely necessary.

Examples
  • ✓ Fixing AI-generated or legacy spaghetti code
  • ✓ Resolving fatal errors, 500s, memory leaks, or crashing plugins
  • ✓ Upgrading deprecated PHP functions to current standards
Performance Optimisation
Make your website faster and more efficient

Slow sites lose visitors and revenue. I optimise databases, caching, and server configurations to keep your site performing at its best.

Typical work includes
  • ✓ Database tuning (MySQL, MariaDB)
  • ✓ Implementing caching (Redis, OPCache, Memcached, Cloudflare)
  • ✓ Reducing load times for WordPress and Laravel applications
Upgrades & Modernisation
Keep your stack secure and up to date

PHP 5.6, Laravel 5.x, and other outdated platforms are security and stability risks. I handle seamless upgrades with rollback safety and minimal downtime.

Typical work includes
  • ✓ PHP versions (5.6 → 8.4)
  • ✓ Laravel upgrades (5.x → 12.x)
  • ✓ Replacing abandoned packages with supported alternatives
Ongoing Maintenance & Support
Hands-off website maintenance

Websites need upkeep like anything else. I offer retainer-based maintenance to handle updates, bug fixes, and proactive improvements before they become emergencies.

Maintenance covers
  • ✓ Regular updates & security patches
  • ✓ Monitoring & early issue detection
  • ✓ Technical debt reduction and code cleanups
Hosting & Server Migrations
Smooth transitions to better hosting

Moving servers doesn’t need to be risky. I handle migrations, DNS, and configuration changes to keep your website stable before, during, and after the switch.

Example providers
  • ✓ cPanel, Plesk, Kinsta, VPS environments
  • ✓ Apache & NGINX configurations
