I have a production-level user-management system built in CodeIgniter 3 that now shows its age. I need the entire project migrated to CodeIgniter 4 with performance as the guiding metric. The current codebase is cleanly structured and under Git, yet slow page renders and controller bottlenecks have become apparent as user numbers grow. Key points I care about • A like-for-like feature set—users must not notice anything except faster response times. • Lean, CI4-native controllers, models, and routing so the framework itself delivers speed gains. • Proper usage of CI4’s new caching, autoloading, and entity layers where they make sense. • Thorough performance benchmarking before and after the upgrade; page load times are my primary KPI. • Smooth database migration scripts; no data loss is acceptable. • Clear upgrade documentation so I can reproduce the setup on staging or roll back if ever needed. You will work in a dedicated branch on my private repo, submit pull requests for review, and finish with a clean, PSR-12-compliant codebase that passes the existing test suite. If you have direct experience squeezing the most out of CI4’s performance features—or have moved sizeable user systems to CI 4 before—let me know in your proposal along with sample metrics you achieved.

Hi! - I have helped multiple clients modernize legacy systems, and your CodeIgniter 3 → CodeIgniter 4 migration aligns perfectly with my expertise. I specialize in upgrading production systems with performance as the core metric while ensuring zero disruption for end users. For you project, I can: Like-for-like migration: Preserve all features and workflows so users only notice faster response times. CI4-native structure: Rewrite controllers, models, and routing using CI4’s best practices, autoloading, caching, and entity layers. Performance benchmarks: Run before/after profiling with tools like Xdebug and CI4’s built-in benchmarking to confirm measurable gains in page load times. Database migration: Deliver smooth, scripted migration with rollback safeguards and no data loss. Clean code & docs: PSR-12-compliant codebase, pull requests in your repo, and step-by-step upgrade documentation for staging or rollback. On past projects, I have improved render times by up to 40–60% by leveraging CI4’s caching and restructuring controllers. I would be glad to share repo snippets or benchmarks if helpful. I am confident I can deliver a robust upgrade for you within agreed timelines. Let me know if you would like me to outline a sample benchmarking plan and migration timeline.

Hi there, I am Calin, full stack web developer with experience in CI3 and CI4. I developed websites both in CI3 and in CI4. I can rewrite your website with the CI4 framework but I'm afraid a roll back is not possible. CI4 uses a completely different project (folder) structure and controllers, models and views are different. The best approach would be to create a development version with the CI4 framework where we'll rewrite the entire code using the CI4 structure with new controllers and models. The database structure shouldn't be affected, so we won't touch the tables and the data in them. Message me if interested in proposal, I can start any time. Best, Calin Rusu.
