WordPress is a great platform. One shortcoming that it experiences, in any case, is it can be very moderate. Without avoiding potential risk, you could wind up with a sluggish site. That is a bother for rehash guests as well as will make you lose endorsers and clients.

Follow these steps to increase your WordPress website speed:

1. Select a decent host
2. Begin with a strong them
3. Utilize a successful storing plugin
4. Utilize a content delivery network
5. Optimize images (automatically)
6. Optimize your landing page to load quickly
7. Upgrade your WordPress database
8. Add a lapses header to static assets
9. Adjust Gravatar pictures
10. Control various post modifications put away
11. Turn off pingbacks and trackbacks
12. Replace PHP with static HTML, when fundamental
13. Utilize CloudFlare

Thanks

The one area I always find a pain in the nut sack and have never found a complete fix for is:

"Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content"

if anyone has a step by step guide they could point me to that would be awesome.

I've tried every guide and youtube video I can find but never solved the problem.

Cheers

Thanks

Some info for you. Hope something fixes your problem.

You could use this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/

and/or read the following and try the Google script.

Wordpress and/or the theme publishers sometimes make things difficult by adding in-line or in head CSS instead of using external CSS stylesheets. Also, they just place JS all in the <head> whereas if building a site in HTML, the JS can be placed after all the other code, thus eliminating problems faced when the JS is all in the <head>

http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/...-blocking.html

http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/...avascript.html

https://developers.google.com/speed/...hts/BlockingJS

The below code is what Google recommends. This code should be placed in your HTML just before the </body> tag (near the bottom of your HTML file). I highlighted the name of the external JS file.

<script type="text/javascript">
function downloadJSAtOnload() {
var element = document.createElement("script");
element.src = "defer.js";
document.body.appendChild(element);
}
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", downloadJSAtOnload, false);
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", downloadJSAtOnload);
else window.onload = downloadJSAtOnload;
</script>

Thanks

If you are using wordpress for your site management then you don't need to be worry about that.
Try to find plugins for that like
=> image optimizer
=> content optimizer
=> page speed up
=> imagify
find the plugin and install it. It will automatically speed up your website time.

Thanks

Right, The major factor affected to speed up your Wordpress website is the hosting of your site. It's important to host your new website on a shared hosting provider that offers unlimited bandwidth, space, emails, domains and more.

Things that you can do include:

Show excerpts instead of full posts.
Reduce the number of posts on the page.
Remove unnecessary sharing widgets from the home page.
Remove inactive plugins and widgets that you don't need.
Keep in minimal! Readers are here for content, not 8,000 widgets on the homepage

Overall, a clean and focused homepage design will help your page not only look good, but load quicker as well.

The loading speed of a website is an important factor for SEO. Google give more weight to the slow loading websites but to speedup the WordPress applications, you can utilize following tips:

Split your website comments into pages.
Use HTML and Java-script compressors
Choose a good web host for your website
Optimize the images because adding a lot of images in the website also reduce the loading speed.
Use a cache plugin: Website speed deceases when the number of users visiting your website increases. To fix this issue, use cache plugins.
Optimize the database tables: The database also needs to be optimized to increase the speed.
Remove inactive plugins from your WordPress website.

Thanks

Lemme explain you with my recent personal experience.

Me and one my friends, who is a WordPress developer, were given a task to improve the page speed of https://www.spaceotechnologies.com/

Step by step, we started.

First, we checked our page speed on Google's insight tool.

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

The result was 30/100 - too poor.

We started resolving the major points like:

Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Enable compression
Optimize images
Minify CSS
Minify JavaScript

In fact, you can directly download the optimized image, JavaScript, and CSS resources from the website itself.

Then after, we checked the page speed on:
https://gtmetrix.com/analyze.html

It provided concrete points where we can improve our page speed.

We tried our best to eliminate these points. After that, we reached to 72/100.

P.S: It has reached to 52/100 right now as we did this task before 4-5 months. So I'd suggest to do this task periodically.

Thanks

Minimize the amount of plug-ins you are using is a good way to make for a faster site. Some plugins will certainly slow you down more than others. It might be a good idea to test your spreed, then deactivate a plugin and test the speed again.

There are many plugins available for that but you should be careful as having too much plugins may in turn slow down your site. The safest way is to hire a professional who can do this for you as sometimes compression and minification of CSS and JS files may cause your site to break.

Hi daronch,

I would first recommend that you get your actual speed and scores for your site by using Google Page Speed Test or a similar service, like GTMetrix.

This way, you can find out how your website is currently performing for your visitors.

The second thing you can do, is check the advice and modifications that Google Page Speed or GTMetrix recommend you to do. Some of them are simple to achieve, some of them may require tweaks and work-arounds for wordpress.

From my personal experience, the number one factor that influences the load speed are the external requests (css and js files). Calling many external files requires a lot of time to complete.

Another thing you can do is use a caching plugin for Wordpress and save the cached version on the server, showing your visitors the cached version instead of always loading the entire page.

These are a few simple steps that you can do to increase your Wordpress website speed. The discussion can go on and on since improvements can be made for any site, but these are some of the basics.

Hope it helps.

Good luck.

Thanks
