Is your web application slow, timing out, or getting noticeably worse as usage or data grows — but you're not sure where the bottleneck actually is?

I’ll investigate the problem before jumping into optimisation.

Depending on the issue and available access, I’ll examine the relevant parts of the system — such as frontend behaviour, backend execution, database access, logs, profiling data, architecture, and code — to understand where time is actually being spent.

The goal is to give you a clear, evidence-based answer to three questions:

What is slowing the application down? Why is it happening? What should you change first?

What you’ll receive:

Investigation of one clearly defined performance problem

Identification of the main bottleneck(s)

Evidence supporting the findings

Likely cause and level of confidence

Prioritised recommendations for what to change next

A concise written diagnostic report

Optional implementation support, scoped separately

If the available evidence isn't enough to establish a clear cause, I won't guess. I'll explain what the evidence supports, what remains uncertain, and what should be measured or investigated next.
