TECHBOOST
The Problem
Website production involved dozens of manual steps that were repetitive, time-consuming, and easy to get wrong. While no single website required every task, the combined time spent across all the processes TechBoost eventually replaced totaled approximately 246 minutes when done manually.
Many of these tasks were:
- Blocking (you couldn’t do other work while running them)
- Prone to human error
- Difficult to standardize across projects
The Solution
I built TechBoost, a custom WordPress plugin designed to automate, streamline, and safeguard the most common website production workflows.
Rather than replacing people, TechBoost was built to support them — reducing mental load, preventing mistakes, and allowing the team to focus on higher-value work.
Measurable Results
While individual websites only used the functions they needed, the combined impact across builds was dramatic:
- Copyscape Checks: 45 → 10 minutes (77.8% faster)
- Search & Replace (single location): 10 → 1 minute (90% faster)
- Search & Replace (multi-location): 43 → 2 minutes (95% faster)
- Backup & Restore: 20 → 2 minutes (90% faster)
- Importing & Exporting Pages: 5 → 1 minute (80% faster)
When comparing the combined manual time of these tasks to the automated equivalents:
- Before: ~246 minutes
- After: ~39.2 minutes
- Overall improvement: 84% faster
Website builds still take 8+ hours overall, but TechBoost significantly reduced friction, rework, and error detection — making the entire process faster, smoother, and more reliable.
Beyond the Numbers
The real win wasn’t just speed — it was confidence. The Web Team could move faster without worrying about missing something critical.
