06About me
Engineer by trade. Artist by habit.
I am Hamza Ahmad Aslam, a web developer in Pakistan working on websites for businesses, agencies and publishers since 2015. I work remotely with US, UK and European clients, with part of my day overlapping the US working day.
In my current agency role, my work includes ACF-powered plugins, front-end development, malware cleanup, and DNS and email troubleshooting. Earlier roles included WordPress VIP development at Gallery Media Group and performance work at Half Price Packaging.
Outside client work, I build tools such as Fleet Sentinel and make digital art. Working with 3D scenes gives me another way to explore lighting, composition and interface design.

WooCommerce checkout slow: diagnose the request that blocks payment
When your WooCommerce checkout is slow, start with the single browser request that begins when the delay begins. Record that request's timing, then match it to a server trace so you can separate browser delay from WooCommerce, shipping, tax, gateway, database, or server work.
