Hi there, I understand your 400+ page WordPress site for an established Virginia law firm needs true hygiene, stability, and performance work—not a redesign or SEO overhaul. I will work within the Kalicube setup, keeping the Kalicube plugin untouched and preserving all URLs, navigation, and the About page. My approach is to start in a staging environment with a solid backup/rollback plan, then perform a careful, phased cleanup on production. Phase 1: audit all plugins for conflicts and bloat; remove unused or broken plugins; safely update the remainder. Phase 2: database cleanup and optimization; fix broken internal links and images; resolve redirect chains and 404s; clean XML sitemaps and orphan URLs. Phase 3: improve crawl depth through internal linking adjustments that do not change URLs; speed tuning; security hardening. Phase 4: documentation of every change, backups, and a clear rollback plan. I will document before/after status using Google Search Console and Screaming Frog, and provide a concise changelog and recommended ongoing maintenance. Examples of my WordPress maintenance work include: plugin audits on large sites, targeted removals to reduce bloat, DB tuning to improve MySQL queries, and careful, reproducible update workflows that protect live content and SEO. Do you have a staging environment with a tested backup/rollback plan and a preferred window for the cleanup to minimize traffic disruption? Best regards,

Hey there, I've reviewed your project requirements and you need WordPress cleanup and stabilization for your 400+ page law firm site - not a redesign, not SEO work, just technical fixes to keep everything running smoothly without breaking what's already working. I've been doing WordPress maintenance and cleanup for large sites for about 8+ years now. Here's what I'd do: Audit all your plugins - find conflicts, bloat, redundancies. Remove broken or unnecessary ones, safely update the rest. Clean and optimize your database. Fix broken internal links and images. Resolve redirect chains and 404 errors. Clean up XML sitemaps and orphan URLs. Fix internal linking to improve crawl depth without changing URLs. Speed and performance optimization. Security hardening. Full backup before touching anything. Document every change I make. I won't touch the Kalicube plugin, won't install any SEO plugins, won't change URLs or navigation, won't modify the About page, and I'll preserve all existing SEO elements and redirects. My process: Work in staging first, full backup before starting, use Screaming Frog to crawl the site before and after so we can see exactly what improved, test everything in staging, then migrate to production carefully with rollback plan ready. Timeline: About 2-3 weeks depending on what I find in the audit. Estimated hours: 40-60 hours at my rate puts this in your $2,000-3,000 range. I can start ASAP once you award me the project. Talk soon, Kamran.
