PHP Maintenance Services – Upgrades, Fixes & DevOps

Bugs & crashes

Your site is throwing errors, pages won't load, or something stopped working overnight. I find the cause and fix it cleanly — most issues resolved within a day.

→500 errors and white screens
→Broken forms and payment flows
→AI-generated code gone wrong
→Post-update breakage
→Memory leaks and performance bottlenecks
→Third-party API and integration failures

PHP version upgrades and modernisation

Running an old PHP version is a security risk and often the reason things start breaking. I handle the upgrade without taking your site offline.

→Version upgrades (PHP 5.6 → 8.4)
→Modern practices and coding standards
→Code audits and security reviews
→Version control setup and workflows

Framework and CMS upgrades

Your original developer set it up, but now it's years out of date and nobody wants to touch it. I upgrade it safely, with a tested rollback plan.

→Laravel and Symfony core upgrades
→WordPress, CraftCMS, Statamic updates
→Plugin and dependency audits
→Backup strategy implementation

Database optimisation and performance tuning

If your site is slow or timing out under load, the problem is usually in the database. I find it and fix it.

→Query optimisation (MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres)
→Caching layers (Redis, OPCache, Memcached, Cloudflare)
→Queue workers (Redis, RabbitMQ, Amazon SQS)
→Load time reduction and bottleneck analysis

Deployment and monitoring

Deploying changes shouldn't be a nail-biting moment. I set up pipelines and monitoring so problems are caught before your customers see them.

→Shared hosting, VPS, and cloud infrastructure
→Containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes)
→CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
→Error tracking and log monitoring

AI can write code fast, but architecture, scalability and maintainability are where it consistently falls short. This can be a problem under real traffic, edge cases, or when it needs to connect with the rest of your system. If you've built something with AI assistance, hired someone who did, or inherited a codebase that looks like it was written by a very confident AI agent — I can help.

What I fix

→Code that works in demo but breaks in production
→Security holes AI tools routinely miss
→No error handling, no logging, no tests
→Spaghetti structure that's impossible to extend
→Dependencies nobody updated or reviewed
