Hello PHP magicians and code gurus!

I am looking for a skilled professional to take on a complicated task of optimizing a heavy-traffic WP content-based site. (not e-comm or group buying, just loads of content mostly)

What's required: server-side optimization (caching/SQL queries indexing/whatever else is required), front-end code/layout/JS files/CSS files optimization, minifying etc to make the site run as fast as possible, minimize amount of requests per page; everything that can be possibly done to handle 10's or even 100's of thousands of daily visitors.

Theme update and style facelift would also be great; other details in PM.

Please send examples of work you've done and brief skill set if interested.
It won't be one-time job, we run multiple projects on a constant basis, so this may become a beginning of solid work partnership.

Budget is open for discussion!
 


If you're not already using WPSuperCache, install it, and odds are 95% you won't need a "guru" anymore.

I highly doubt you've got an overwhelming amount of incoming content (posts and comments), so if it's just pageviews that overwhelm you, WPSuperCache will fix it.
 
W3 Total Cache. Used by Mashable, Smashing Magazine, John Chow (he he), etc.

WP Super Cache is also good.

Whichever one you end up using, spend some time and configure everything the right way.

Edit: One of them is harder to configure. One of them ends up being slower than the other if you don't do the configuration properly. (And I don't want to name which ones, thus entering a W3TC Vs WPSC debate).
