How I diagnose WordPress problems
Fixing a WordPress website starts with understanding what is actually wrong. I use systematic debugging techniques to identify the root cause before applying any fix.
Identifying Root Cause
Every fix starts with understanding what is actually wrong. I trace errors back to their source — whether it is a plugin, theme, server configuration, or database issue — rather than applying surface-level patches.
Debugging Techniques
Using WP_DEBUG, error logging, query monitoring, and step-by-step isolation to pinpoint exactly what is causing the problem. I systematically eliminate variables until the issue is identified.
Error Log Analysis
Reviewing PHP error logs, server access logs, and WordPress debug logs to identify recurring errors, fatal exceptions, and warnings that indicate underlying problems.
Hosting Issue Assessment
Checking server configuration, PHP version compatibility, memory limits, execution timeouts, and resource constraints that often cause or contribute to WordPress problems.
Theme Conflict Detection
Isolating theme-related issues by switching to a default theme and testing. Identifying incompatible theme functions, outdated template files, and custom code conflicts.
Plugin Conflict Resolution
Systematically testing plugins in isolation to identify conflicts, then finding compatible versions, alternative plugins, or custom fixes that resolve the incompatibility.

WooCommerce fixes that protect your revenue
WooCommerce stores have unique failure points that can directly cost you revenue. Checkout errors, payment gateway failures, cart problems, and shipping calculation issues all need fast, targeted fixes to prevent lost sales.

Website speed & performance issues
Slow websites lose visitors, rankings, and revenue. If your WordPress site has become noticeably slower — or has always been slow — I can identify exactly what is causing the problem and implement targeted fixes.
Common speed issues I fix include oversized images, render-blocking resources, excessive plugins, database bloat, poor caching configuration, and hosting limitations. Each fix is measured to confirm the improvement.

WordPress fixes you can rely on
When you need WordPress fixes in London, you want someone who understands the platform, communicates clearly, and fixes problems properly. Here is what sets my approach apart.
Direct Freelance Support
You speak directly with the person fixing your website. No support tickets, no account managers, no waiting for escalation. Just clear communication and practical fixes from an experienced developer.
Technical Experience
Extensive experience debugging and fixing complex WordPress and WooCommerce issues. I fix problems at the code level, not through guesswork or generic plugins that add more bloat.
WordPress & WooCommerce Focus
My work is focused entirely on WordPress and WooCommerce. I understand the platform deeply — its quirks, common failure points, plugin ecosystem, and how to fix problems without causing new ones.
Business-First Approach
I prioritise fixes based on business impact. If your checkout is broken, that gets fixed first. If a non-critical plugin has a minor issue, I handle it without distracting from what matters for your revenue.
Fast Communication
When your site is broken, you need answers quickly. I respond promptly to enquiries, provide clear updates on progress, and aim to resolve urgent issues within hours rather than days.
