Legacy Client Refactor

PHP cPanel Optimization

01. Overview

A marketing client had a critical website built on unstructured legacy PHP. It was fragile, difficult to update, and slow. I was tasked with modernizing the codebase without rewriting the backend logic from scratch due to budget constraints.

02. Execution

  • Modularization: Broke down monolithic files into reusable components (Header, Footer, Nav) to eliminate code duplication.
  • Performance: Optimized asset loading and cleaned up spaghetti logic, resulting in a 40% decrease in load times.
  • Deployment: Configured a proper CI/CD workflow for cPanel, moving away from manual FTP uploads.
