Safely update outdated themes and plugins to stable, optimized versions.

Integrate CDN (Cloudflare or Lightsail CDN) and browser caching for global reach.

4. Git-Based Deployment Architecture Design and set up Git-based version control for each project (staging → production branches).

Implement auto-deploy or webhook-based triggers for WordPress and MERN environments.

Connect instances to GitHub repositories , with branch-based deployment (staging and main).
