- Maintain WordPress core, themes and plugins; implement security updates, vulnerability management and website hardening.
- Monitor uptime, errors, broken links and technical issues; perform root cause analysis and implement lasting fixes.
- Follow structured release processes, including version control, UAT testing, deployment documentation and rollback procedures.
- Improve technical SEO and website performance, including Core Web Vitals, caching, indexing, redirects, structured data and mobile responsiveness.
- Maintain website accessibility in line with WCAG 2.2 AA standards.
- Implement and maintain analytics and conversion tracking using Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager (GTM) and GCLID tracking.
- Support A/B testing, user experience improvements and website conversion optimization.
