Natasha Rocker – Head of Marketing Operations

At Resolve Beyond, we thrive on taking on technical challenges in WordPress development. When we were entrusted with the maintenance of the Argentex website, we took the opportunity to review its source code thoroughly. What we found was far from a standard WordPress structure – the site had been built with a unique setup that required a tailored approach to maintenance and optimisation.

Strong Partnerships: Working Alongside the Original Development Team

Argentex was originally developed by a skilled agency that built a strong foundation for the website. Recognising the need for ongoing technical expertise, the agency referred Argentex to us for continued support, maintenance, and further development. This seamless collaboration has allowed us to step in where needed, addressing complex technical challenges while ensuring the website remains fully optimised.

By working in partnership with the original developers, we have successfully enhanced the site’s performance, resolved plugin conflicts, improved security protocols, and fine-tuned the overall WordPress architecture to ensure long-term stability and usability.

Tackling Website Speed with Cloudflare and Caching

One of the key issues the client faced was poor site speed, which was affecting their user experience and overall performance. The site was sluggish, struggling at around 40% speed efficiency, which was simply not acceptable for a high-traffic website.

We immediately got to work, implementing Cloudflare integration and advanced caching solutions. After multiple rounds of fine-tuning, we successfully boosted the site’s speed to 85%, ensuring a much smoother experience for visitors.

Solving Frontend Editing Issues in Visual Composer

Another persistent issue was the Visual Composer plugin. The client frequently struggled to edit content from the frontend, as the editor would often stop working unexpectedly. Our team dug deep into the plugin’s code, identifying the root cause of the issue. We applied a permanent fix, ensuring the editor would function seamlessly, allowing the client to update their website hassle-free.

Strengthening Website Security

Security is always a top priority in WordPress development. We implemented server-level security headers to protect the site from potential cyber threats. This additional layer of defence significantly reduced the risk of hacking attempts and malware infections, keeping the site safe and secure.
