Description:

I'm looking for a high-level WordPress developer with a deep understanding of performance optimization, CDN integration, media offloading, and security hardening — especially for scaling a platform that may soon handle thousands of listings with image-heavy content.

My platform [peatu.ee] will grow fast. It aggregates unique accommodation listings across Estonia, and needs to be lightweight, fast, and secure for both hosts and visitors. I prefer Cloudflare-based solutions whenever possible.

✅ What Needs to Be Done:

1. Image Offload & Scalable Storage

- I expect around 1000+ hosts and 1500 listings, each with 5+ images. WordPress cannot handle this kind of load alone long-term.

I need a solution where:

- Hosts upload images via WordPress

- Images are automatically stored outside of the server (e.g., S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, or Cloudflare Images)

- CDN delivers all images (preferably Cloudflare or BunnyCDN)

WordPress only stores references, not the actual media files.

Plugins I’m open to:

- Media Cloud

- WP Offload Media

- Or any better suggestion with proven scalability

2. Improve Speed & Stability

- Implement Cloudflare CDN with proper caching (browser cache, edge cache)

- Enable lazy loading, compression (Brotli/GZIP), and asset minification

- Help me configure server-side caching (Redis, Object Cache Pro, etc.)

- Evaluate and eliminate render-blocking scripts if necessary

3. Hide WordPress Footprint

- Prevent public access to theme and plugin names

- Obfuscate URLs like /wp-content/themes/, /wp-content/plugins/

- Implement Hide My WP Ghost or similar plugin

- Secure and rename the login URL

- Bonus: Custom .htaccess or NGINX rules to further harden access

🏆 How to Get the Job:

Do not send me generic proposals, endless questions, or “let’s hop on a call” fluff.

You must include:

A clear action plan on how you would solve the points above

Which technologies/plugins you would use

Realistic timeframes and implementation steps

Bonus: Share a previous project where you've solved similar challenges

Preferred Tools & Stack:

-Cloudflare

-External object storage (S3, Cloudflare Images, etc.)

-Redis or Object Cache Pro

-Security plugins or custom hardening (htaccess, NGINX)

Budget:

To be discussed based on the clarity and quality of your proposal.

Important:

I will hire the first person who gives me a real, valuable proposal with insight and initiative. Not the one who asks me to explain everything.
