Problem:

The Cloudelligent website was facing several challenges due to inefficient development practices. The site relied on numerous unnecessary plugins, including multiple add-on plugins for simple functionalities like sliders. This approach led to bloated code, with redundant CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, making the website overly complex and difficult to manage. The excessive and unstructured use of plugins and code not only impacted the website’s performance but also made future updates and maintenance more cumbersome.

Solution:

To address these issues, I undertook a comprehensive overhaul of the website:

1. Code Cleanup: I meticulously reviewed the codebase to identify and eliminate redundant and unnecessary CSS, HTML, and JavaScript code. This significantly reduced the site’s complexity.
2. Plugin Optimization: I removed unnecessary plugins and streamlined the functionality, consolidating features where possible to avoid dependency on multiple add-ons.
3. Dynamic Site Development: Using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), I replaced static elements with dynamic solutions, allowing for easier content management and reducing reliance on external plugins.
4. Simplifying Features: I removed excessive sliders and replaced them with lightweight, efficient alternatives where necessary, ensuring the site remained visually appealing without sacrificing performance.
5. Clean, Structured Code: I rewrote key components of the website with clean, well-structured code, adhering to best practices to enhance readability and maintainability.

Conclusion:

The revamped Cloudelligent website is now a lean, efficient, and dynamic platform that delivers a superior user experience. By eliminating unnecessary code and plugins, the site’s performance and maintainability have significantly improved. The structured and optimized approach ensures that future updates and expansions can be implemented smoothly, aligning with the company’s growth objectives.
