Web Application Performance Optimization

Slow page loads, high backend load, timeouts under traffic — a slow web app is almost always the database, a blocking call, or repeated work, not the framework. I optimize the whole request path: application, queries, caches and infrastructure.

I'm a backend developer with 10+ years of experience across PHP, Go, MySQL and Elasticsearch. Recent work includes Cenoskop (30M+ products daily), Niftycent (US price intelligence), and facha.sk (Go backend). I build, fix and optimize backend systems that handle real data and real traffic.

What I Can Help With

Optimize the full request path for a slow web application.

Typical Problems

slow page loads high server load timeouts under traffic database-driven slowdown inefficient caching blocking external calls unbounded result sets N+1 query problems

Relevant Experience

Optimized request paths for traffic-analysis and product-data backends serving real traffic.

What Is Included

request timing analysis
application profiling
query and index review
cache strategy review
bottleneck identification
prioritized recommendations

How It Works

You share timing data, slow-log/EXPLAIN output and a sample request flow. I trace the request path, confirm the cause, and propose fixes in order of impact. Typically 1-2 days.

Full-stack performance review and a written report with prioritized recommendations. Implementation is quoted separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frontend or backend — where is the time spent?

I focus on the backend: time spent in PHP/Go code, the database, caches and external calls. If you also need frontend optimization, I can point you to the right place.
