I had s discussion with someone who told me the title of my thesis is incorrect in english. The title reads:

Optimizing websites created using the Wordpress framework

Neither of us is native english so the discussion didn't really go anywhere but my reasoning is as follows:

The websites have been made inside the wordpress framework but the optimization only partially occurred within this framework. Therefor a sentence like:

Optimizing websites using the Wordpress framework

would be incorrect in describing what the thesis is about.

Am I correct here? Is the first sentence correct english?

    "Optimizing websites using the Wordpress framework" is ambiguous: it is uncertain whether the websites or the optimization use the Wordpress framework. "Optimizing websites created using the Wordpress framework" isn't ambiguous in the same way.

IMO, your title is not grammatically incorrect. Wordy, yes - incorrect, no.

May I suggest: "Optimizing Wordpress Websites"?

Or, if you want to keep with the academic style of titling theses (with many words), you could change it to: "Optimizing Websites Created in Wordpress Framework."
