Urgent e-commerce troubleshooting
A site that stops responding, a module that breaks a page, an order that won't validate: troubleshooting means pinpointing the exact source of the problem in the code or configuration, then fixing it without rebuilding everything.
What troubleshooting covers
Troubleshooting targets a specific, locatable problem: an application error, a conflict between two modules, a regression after an update, a server-side incident blocking access to the site. The goal is to get the shop working again, not to redo what already exists.
It's not a full audit or a redesign: if the diagnosis reveals a bigger problem than the reported incident, I say so clearly before committing more time, and I propose a separate scope for that work.
What I fix most often
- 500 error or blank page after a platform, theme or module update.
- Checkout that fails or redirects wrongly after a change at the payment provider.
- Conflict between two modules breaking the display or calculation on a page (cart, product page, order).
- Overloaded or misconfigured server after a hosting migration or an unusual traffic spike.
- Interrupted data import leaving the catalogue or stock in an inconsistent state.
How I work
-
Access and reading the logs
Access to the admin, server or code repository as needed, and reading the error logs to locate the source of the problem.
-
Isolating the cause
I reproduce the problem when possible, to tell a one-off cause apart from a structural issue.
-
Targeted fix
I fix the identified point, without changing what already works elsewhere on the site.
-
Verification and report
Testing the affected journey, then a written summary of what caused the fault and what was changed.

A few targeted questions so I can reply with an estimate rather than another questionnaire.
