Ēstprieks: a WordPress site taken over, made faster and kept running
Ēstprieks is a healthy-eating movement founded in 2020 by the Children's Hospital Foundation, the Children's Clinical University Hospital and Maxima Latvija. It funds better meals for the hospital's patients and publishes nutrition advice and recipes for parents. Nevo took over the site from the previous developer, made it faster and keeps it running, including during campaigns.

What we did for Ēstprieks
The goal was a site that stays up and fast for years: fix what slowed it down, put consent and privacy in order, and be ready when a campaign sends traffic to it.
Takeover and code audit
A structured handover of the WordPress site from the previous developer, followed by a code audit.
Updates and security
WordPress core and plugins updated to stable releases, external dependencies reviewed and known vulnerabilities fixed.
Database queries
The heaviest SQL queries rewritten, which lowered server load and made pages load faster on phones.
Cookie consent
A consent banner that keeps analytics and tracking scripts off until the visitor agrees, in line with GDPR.
Ready for campaigns
Caching and DNS set up so the site stays fast when a media campaign sends traffic to it.
Ongoing support
Monitoring and maintenance under a support agreement.
