No Delay, No Downtime, No Drama
Our PHP website and web application development ensures fast execution times under 500ms by optimizing queries, reducing redundant processing, and fine-tuning caching.
We build scalable, high-performance PHP solutions that handle heavy traffic, dynamic content, and real-time transactions—keeping APIs, dashboards, and websites responsive without slowdowns.
We build PHP websites and web applications for all business needs- a simple site, an e-commerce store, or a custom solution; we ensure the code is efficient, scalable, and easy to maintain. Using PHP 8, Laravel, and CodeIgniter, we make your platform flexible so you can add new features without worrying about performance or security.
We focus on making sure your site can handle high traffic without breaking a sweat. We ensure your site performs even under pressure by implementing horizontal scaling and asynchronous job processing. PHP 8’s JIT compilation and Redis caching help us speed up load times and improve data retrieval, keeping your site fast and responsive.
For example, if you run an eCommerce platform, we ensure it handles real-time inventory updates, secure transactions, and custom user roles smoothly—even with thousands of users at the same moment.
APIs are a key part of any website or app, especially when you’re integrating with other services. We build RESTful and GraphQL APIs that are optimized for speed and security. With tools like PHP-FPM, we make sure your APIs respond quickly, even when there’s a lot of traffic. We also implement rate limiting to keep your server running smoothly and JWT authentication to keep your data secure.
Let’s say you’re building a customer portal that integrates with a CRM system. Our APIs will sync real-time data, giving users instant updates on support tickets. It’s all designed to keep things running smoothly and efficiently.
Upgrading to PHP 8+ brings improvements in performance, security, and maintainability. JIT compilation speeds up execution, and new features like union types and named arguments make your code cleaner and easier to maintain. We handle the migration process end-to-end, ensuring backward compatibility, testing, and optimization for a smooth transition.
For example, a legacy e-commerce platform upgraded to PHP 8+ saw a 30% improvement in load times, quicker API responses, and reduced memory usage, providing a faster and more reliable shopping experience.
We build headless PHP architectures that separate the front-end from the back-end, enabling faster development, flexibility, and better content delivery. Using RESTful and GraphQL APIs, we ensure smooth and optimized data exchange for websites and web applications. We integrate with React, Vue, and mobile apps, providing you with flexibility in front-end development, while webhooks enable real-time updates without full-page reloads.
For example, a news portal updates articles in real time across multiple platforms—websites, mobile apps, and smart TVs—ensuring content consistency and fresh updates without additional backend work.
We specialize in building PHP-based e-commerce websites and applications that simplify transactions, product management, and customer interactions. Using platforms like WooCommerce and Magento, we create scalable e-commerce solutions with automated order processing, flexible inventory management, and seamless shopping experiences. We also ensure secure payments, improve product search with Elasticsearch, and optimize mobile shopping with PWA technology.
For example, a fashion retailer can automate inventory updates and personalize product recommendations, providing a smooth and fast shopping experience that keeps customers coming back.
We develop real-time PHP-based web applications that keep users engaged with instant updates and live interactions. We enable bidirectional communication using WebSockets for features like live chat, notifications, and collaborative tools. Redis Pub/Sub delivers instant messages, and Mercure pushes updates to browsers without delays, while Apache Kafka handles event streaming for scalability.
For example, a customer support platform lets agents respond to queries instantly. Incoming tickets are updated in real time, speeding up response times and improving customer satisfaction.
We streamline your PHP website or web application updates with automated deployment pipelines. Using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, we automate code integration and deployment. Kubernetes handles scaling, while Terraform automates infrastructure provisioning and Ansible manages server configurations. With zero-downtime deployments, we ensure your application remains accessible during updates, while ELK stack monitoring helps us resolve issues quickly.
For example, a fintech platform can roll out security patches and feature updates without downtime, ensuring uninterrupted service while maintaining security and compliance.
Your PHP website or web application often needs to work with third-party services. We integrate your system with CRM, ERP, and payment gateways using REST and SOAP APIs for seamless data exchange. We also implement OAuth and JWT for secure authentication and use rate-limiting to prevent API overloads.
For example, a healthcare provider syncs patient records between its scheduling system and insurance database, ensuring instant updates and reducing manual administrative work.
We build modular PHP architectures using microservices to improve scalability and fault tolerance. With Docker for containerization and API gateways to manage service interactions, we ensure that each service operates independently, minimizing bottlenecks and system failures. Asynchronous processing handles background tasks without affecting user interactions.
For example, a subscription-based platform operates separate microservices for payments, and content streaming, ensuring that failures in one area don’t disrupt the whole service, guaranteeing high availability and a smooth user experience.
Security is crucial for any PHP website or web application. We conduct comprehensive security audits using static code analysis, OWASP-based assessments, and penetration testing to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they become a problem. We implement prepared statements to prevent SQL injection, AES-256 encryption to secure data, and role-based access controls (RBAC) to limit unauthorized actions. Every security patch strengthens your system against threats like code injection and session hijacking.
For example, a fintech portal encrypts payment data both at rest and in transit. Unauthorized logins trigger multi-factor authentication, protecting user accounts from common attacks like credential stuffing.
A slow PHP website or web application can drive users away and hurt your revenue. We focus on optimizing query execution, caching, and server configurations to boost page speed, reduce load times, and ensure smooth performance—even when traffic spikes. With Redis and Memcached, we accelerate database queries, and OPcache eliminates redundant script execution. Lazy loading, CDN integrations, and optimized API responses ensure your pages load quickly, searches are instant, and interactions stay smooth.
For example, a real estate platform allows users to browse listings, apply filters, and load images instantly—creating a seamless experience that keeps visitors engaged and boosts conversions.
Stable, Reliable PHP Application Performance, Always
At Codewave, we focus on optimizing memory, session handling, and security to prevent crashes and slowdowns.
We start with discovery workshops to understand your business needs, user requirements, and the ideal tech architecture. These structured workshops help define data flow and pinpoint potential bottlenecks early, such as slow database queries, inefficient API calls, and concurrency issues. We document functional requirements to ensure the architecture supports future scalability and seamless growth.
Next, we choose the right PHP framework and database based on performance needs. Laravel works well for complex applications, while Slim is ideal for lightweight APIs. The database structure is optimized to keep database query time under 100ms, ensuring fast data retrieval.
The web application follows the MVC pattern, keeping code modular and maintainable. Security measures like input validation, prepared statements, and CSP headers prevent SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Role-based access control (RBAC) ensures restricted access to critical modules.
Development progresses in Scrum sprints, ensuring working in continuous feedback loops, delivering incremental business value and improving iteratively. PHPUnit automates critical test cases, reducing manual effort. API response times are optimized below 300ms using database indexing, caching strategies, and asynchronous processing, ensuring smooth interactions across services.
Before deployment, caching and query optimizations enhance scalability. Redis and Memcached improve session management and reduce database overhead. Load testing simulates peak traffic to ensure the system handles concurrent users efficiently, preventing slow page loads and request timeouts.
We use blue-green deployment to minimize downtime and ensure seamless rollbacks. Prometheus monitors server health, while ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) aggregates logs for real-time debugging. Cache hit ratio is maintained above 70%, reducing database load and improving response times for high-traffic pages.
