American Standard Water Heaters needed urgent help when their WordPress site began experiencing major security and bandwidth issues. I was brought in to stabilize and optimize the site on their WP Engine hosting platform.

My work included implementing firewall and brute force protections, optimizing traffic handling, and blocking malicious bot downloads of large PDFs that were straining server resources. Once the site was secure, I updated and streamlined plugins, removed unused components, and applied performance improvements to increase reliability.
