Hi there.
If you are looking for a freelancer who is less reliant on plug ins or somebody who is highly familiar with speed optimization to improve the performance of your website, i am the right candidate to go with!
There are many other aspects to take into consideration besides the image compression, like what files are actively loading while the user enters the website first time, but no worries i can handle it professionally!
As for the second part of the project i got confused a little bit, do you want freelancer to redesign the homepage or something else?
Please let me know
Contact me whenever you can, can start working on your website soon, with fast delivery!
Best
