10 Tips for Optimising WordPress
1. 10 Tips for Optimising WordPress
(You Wonât Believe What #6 Is!)
2. Why Speed is Important
⢠Google use PageSpeed as a ranking indicator
⢠A visitor decides in 3 second whether they
want to wait for your page to load or not
3.
4. 1. Compress Images
⢠The bulk of most sites is made up of images
⢠The smaller (in Kb) the image, the faster to load
⢠Resize the image dimensions to the size it will
display in browser
6. 2. Compress Website Files
Minify, Combine & Enable gzip Compression
Use a plugin:
⢠WP Rocket
⢠W3 Total Cache
Or add code to .htaccess / nginx.conf file
Compressed code is faster code. Enabling gzip compression (a standard compression
algorithm) in WordPress can reduce site load time by over 300%.
7. 3. Use a Caching Plugin
A caching plugin can enhance page speed by up to
300% by pre-loading common page elements and
database queries, as well as compressing essential
files.
⢠WP Super Cache
⢠W3 Total Cache
8. 4. Leverage Browser Caching
Browser caching prevents images and content
from reloading fresh each time a user revisits
your site.
⢠WP Rocket plugin
⢠Or add code to .htaccess / nginx.conf file
9. 5. Minimise External Scripts
If youâre loading scripts and content from a
third-party website, you donât have total control
over how quickly your site loads.
⢠Facebook Like box / Instagram feed
⢠Use GTMetrix / Pingdom Speed test
10. 6. Use a CDN
A CDN refers to a network of proxy servers that are spread across
the world. Each server contains a copy of your website, which
can be used to
deliver your content
more quickly to users all
over the globe.
11. 7. Keep Your Database Clean
⢠Optimise database
⢠Clean up post revisions
⢠Empty Trash
⢠Moderate / Delete comments
12. 8. Themes & Plugins
⢠Disable plugins you arenât using
⢠Delete unused themes & plugins
⢠Cut down on the number of plugins
⢠Keep everything up to date
13. 9. Reduce Redirects
Every time one page redirects to another, users have to
wait. Every redirect removed will make pages load faster.
Server-side redirects are faster than client-side redirects
and are also cacheable. However, itâs best to eliminate
redirects that are not absolutely necessary
14. 10. Activate AMP
Googleâs AMP project is meant to give the web a
necessary speed boost. Itâs not hard to
implement, and it will speed up your mobile
site.
⢠AMP plugin
⢠Glue for Yoast SEO & AMP plugin

⢠Use http2
⢠Switch to php7
