How to Improve Your Website Speed with WordPress

Introduction

If your WordPress site feels sluggish, speeding it up is key to boosting visitor satisfaction, SEO, and conversions. Thankfully, there are simple ways to improve speed without much hassle. Let’s explore some easy tips to get your site running faster. For more personalized solutions, consider Custom WordPress development services.

1. Choose a Fast Hosting Provider

The first step to a faster website is selecting a reliable hosting provider. Opt for hosting solutions specifically optimized for WordPress. Managed WordPress hosting is an excellent option since it is tailored to the platform's needs, ensuring optimal performance and automatic updates.

Recommendations:

Managed WordPress Hosting: Offers automatic updates, caching, and server-level optimizations.

VPS or Dedicated Hosting: Suitable for websites with higher traffic for better speed and reliability.

2. Use a Lightweight Theme

Heavy themes can slow down your WordPress site. Choose a lightweight and fast theme optimized for performance. Themes like Astra, GeneratePress, or the default WordPress theme are excellent options.

Tips:

Avoid themes with excessive features or built-in plugins.

Consider using a custom WordPress development service to create a lightweight, custom theme tailored to your specific needs.

3. Leverage Caching Plugins

Caching plugins create static versions of your site content, allowing for faster loading. Some popular WordPress caching plugins are WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, and WP Super Cache. These plugins can help reduce server load and improve website speed.

What to Look for in Caching Plugins:

Browser Caching: Caches static resources in visitors’ browsers for faster subsequent loads.

Page Caching: Reduces server processing time by serving static content.

Minification: Compresses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files for faster delivery.

4. Optimize Images

Large, unoptimized images can significantly slow down your site. Use an image optimization plugin like Smush or ShortPixel to compress and resize images automatically.

Best Practices:

Use the correct image format (JPEG for photographs, PNG for graphics).

Consider lazy loading images to defer loading them until they are visible on the screen.

5. Minimize JavaScript and CSS Files

Too many scripts can slow down your site. Use plugins like Autoptimize or WP Rocket to minimize and combine your JavaScript and CSS files. This reduces the number of requests your website makes, leading to faster loading times.

6. Enable GZIP Compression

GZIP compression reduces the size of files sent from your server to the user’s browser, improving the loading speed. You can enable GZIP compression using plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache.

7. Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN distributes your website's content across multiple servers worldwide. It ensures that visitors are served content from the server closest to them, reducing latency and improving speed.

Popular CDN Services:

Cloudflare

KeyCDN

StackPath

8. Reduce HTTP Requests

Every element on a webpage (images, scripts, stylesheets) requires an HTTP request. Reducing the number of these requests can significantly improve your website speed.

How to Reduce HTTP Requests:

Combine CSS and JavaScript files.

Limit the number of plugins and external resources.

Use inline SVGs instead of loading icon fonts.

9. Regularly Update WordPress, Themes, and Plugins

Outdated software can slow down your site and introduce security risks. Regular updates ensure that you benefit from the latest performance improvements.

10. Consider Using a Custom Solution

If you've implemented all the above strategies and your website speed is still lagging, you may need a more tailored approach. A WordPress website development service can assess your site and provide custom solutions, such as optimizing your database, creating a bespoke theme, or developing performance-focused plugins.

Conclusion

Improving your website speed with WordPress involves a combination of optimizing hosting, themes, plugins, and content. Whether you use off-the-shelf solutions or engage in WordPress development solutions, enhancing site performance will pay off through better user experience and SEO.

By following these steps, you can ensure a more streamlined, fast, and responsive WordPress site that delights your visitors and search engines alike.

A Schwan's Song

News reaches me that the company formerly known as Schwan’s Home Delivery (recently rebranded — terribly — as Yelloh) has gone under, and I am sad. We used to get Schwan’s here at the Scalzi compound; indeed, I remember being in the yard in Spring of 2001, the year we moved to Ohio, seeing the big yellow Schwan’s truck driving down the road, and frantically waving it down so the driver would add…

Out of curiousity since you seem to know a lot about the area, what's the cheapest way to make and host a website on the internet?

I pay for hosting and a domain but I have no intention of ever having even a fraction of the visitors it can handle. Plus it has some limitations on file size that are annoying to circumvent.

Ideally I'd like to keep my wordpress.org site and setup (otherwise I'd be using neocities for it) but in general I'm curious!

Thanks, youre doing great work :]

For free this is the default recommendation a lot of people I know give for PHP so this should work:

https://www.000webhost.com/

For paid hosting I currently use Aquatis for hosting because they're particularly cheap for my use case. They have a kvm vps plan for $2.50/month:

Which is half the cost of the cheapest Digital Ocean instance (as far as I know) though DO will definitely spin up an automatically configured WordPress instance.

That said I'd also really recommend looking at lowendtalk's threads on hosting if none of what I mentioned matches your needs:

Last, if you need cheap/free (depending on your usage) file hosting I recommend b2 from Backblaze and optionally Bunny CDN if you need higher speed delivery

THE 2024-2025 BRONTOSCOPTIC CALENDAR

Photo by Johannes Plenio on Pexels.com

[IMG ID: A scene of a lightning strike at light. The background is empty, sparing a few clouds illuminated by the light of the strike. There are two lightning strikes, one to the left that extends beyond the image, and another that stops slightly beyond the halfway mark of the image. The lightning strikes are a vibrant yellow, contrasting against a purple background, with the light around the strike taking on a striking red-pink.]

Content warning: The brontoscoptic refers to several possibly triggering events, such as death, disease, and abortion. The text also refers to common practices in the ancient world such as slavery and misogyny, which we must acknowledge for the evil it is.

A new year, new dates for the Brontoscoptic calendar! This year is a bit odd for the translation, the new moon in cancer was June 21st—meaning the majority of the “June” month is in July. The calendar picks back up on the next new moon, which is August 4th. Therefore the brontoscoptic month of July is in August. Strange for us to think of, but lunar calendars do not always translate easily into Gregorian.

Supposing that publicly, in all augural teaching, the ancients assumed the moon to be a reference point (for under this heading they classified both thunder and lightning signs), one likewise may correctly select the phase of the moon as a factor for reckoning, so that, beginning with Cancer, we shall make observations of thunder day by day, beginning with the first day of the lunar month, and following lunar months. From this [study] the Etruscans transmitted observations localized according to the regions that are struck from the sky by thunder. — Divining the Etruscan World: The Brontoscopic Calendar and Religious Practice, Jean MacIntosh Turfa

Watch/listen here

0:12 (sound of typing on keyboard) Email to the other side…done. Documents for tomorrow…done. (watch beeps) Oh! Just in time. Alright, then! (clicks mouse then gets up) Hashida is signing off! Good work everyone.

0:50 What’s for dinner tonight? (phone vibrates) Yes, it’s Hashida. Thank you for your patronage. Yes.. (footsteps receding) Oh, the quotation estimate? Yes. I can confirm that on my side. Is it urgent? I can get to it. I’ll send it to you soon so please wait a moment.

(phone beeps) Change of direction, huh? Well, that can’t be helped.

1:35 Shoot. That took longer than expected. Can I make it in time before the store closes? My fridge is pretty much empty. At this rate, I might have to settle with eating box lunch from the convenience store. Please, make it in time! No, I’ll make sure to make it!

Ahh, I can’t make it! What to have for dinner? Should I just compromise today? Nah, I’m in the mood for Japanese food thanks to what I had for lunch. I’m not giving up now. I’ve no other choice. I’ll have to detour and go to the supermarket on the other side of the river.

2:29 No way…. How is this possible? I went to three different supermarkets and the fact that each of them ran out of vegetables… I was stubborn and ended up wasting my time. Should’ve used my time for something more worthwhile if I knew this would happen. (sighs) No point regretting over the past. Sometimes, incidents like this happen. Convenience- nah, I’ll settle with instant noodles today.

3:12 Finally home. It’s quite late already. Hmm, postage and letters.. hm? A delivery, eh? I got stuff delivered to me… That’s quite a big box. Oh? It’s from grandma! Huh? Did I ask her something?

I’m back~ (walks with the box and then opens the door) Heigh-ho..! That was quite heavy. What did grandma send me? (tears the tape) These are..! Lotus root, burdock and carrot! And plenty more! Oh, great! This box is full with veggies from back home! Feels as if grandma saw through me today! Talk about timing. Hm? Hold on. (checks fridge) Chicken and konjac jelly. Alright! I got ‘em. I can do this! I can make grandma’s chikuzenni with these ingredients. I don’t have to give up on eating Japanese dish! Thanks, grandma.

Still, I haven’t had chikuzenni in a while since I left home. I hope I can pull this off. Anyway, I just gotta try.

5:20 (pot boiling) First, pre boil the konjac jelly. I should prepare the rest of the ingredients in the meantime. Right. I should first peel the skin off. Get the carrot and lotus root done smoothly with this peeler. (peels veggies) Taro’s skin is thick so I gotta use a knife instead. (sound of cutting against wooden cutting board. Next, burdock. Just washing ‘em with water is enough, I guess? (washes burdock) That’d do. Now, I gotta cut these guys up. (cuts)

Grandma did mention that cutting uniformly matters in stews. When they’re different, the ingredients don’t soak up the same amount of flavour. Good thing I remember that. (continues cutting) What’s left are taro and soaked shiitake. Bite size cut would do.

7:13 Alright. Time to cut these pre-boiled konjac jelly. Evenly cut the konjac…nah, maybe I should try shred it roughly with a spoon. The sections are rougher than when cut using a knife and apparently this way, they would soak the flavour even better…but oh well, I can’t wait to try it out.

(water runs) Also, grandma’s chikuzenni isn’t complete without this…ginger. Ginger really makes so much difference. I’m gonna shred this guy thinly. (sound of cutting against board) Whew. Pretty much done with the prep for now. Next is the chicken. (brings out pot)

Sesame oil goes inside the pot and heats it up. (switches on gas) Add chicken and stir fry until the colour changes. (pot sizzles)

8:47 I guess this would do..? Then, I just gotta add the veggies that I cut earlier into the pot. (sizzles) Stir them until everything is covered in oil. Hm! This fragrant sesame oil aroma! How appetizing. Hm. Looking good. Almost ready. Add the water from soaked shiitake, sake, mirin, soy sauce, sugar and finally, ba-bam! Thinly sliced ginger! Ugh! What am I doing? Alright. What’s left is to let it simmer well. Hm? I feel like I forgot something…? Oh, a lid! Gotta cover it with a lid. Without it, the flavour would be uneven.

(covers pot with a lid) That’d do. Hold on. I forgot the bean to garnish with at the end. I should boil some in the meantime. (sound of water running, metal pot and gas being turned on)

Hmm. About twenty minutes until it’s ready, eh? Right.. I made quite a huge serving. Maybe I should let Akira eat some. Bet he’s eating junk either way.

10:30 (pot boiling) Alright. About time it’s done. I wonder how it’d turn out? Whoa. Looks good. Salty-sweet aroma. This is the best! (turns off the stove)

(door opens then closes) Sudou: Yo~ Hashida: Oh, you’re here? Sudou: Hashi, this is not like back home. You better lock the door. Hashida: Oh, sorry. I forget sometimes. Well, not like I have anything worth stealing. Sudou: One thought he’s guarded but it’s the other way. Hashi, that side of you really never changes. Hashida: Really? I don’t think I am that unguarded. Sudou: Oh, whatever. That aside. That smells really good. Stew? Hashida: Correct. I made chikuzenni today. Using the recipe from my granny. Sudou: Wow, seriously? How delightful. Makes me feel excited. Hashida: You don’t look excited though. Well, that’s not important. I’m gonna garnish this so Akira, can you dish out the rice? Sudou: Okay~

(opens fridge) Hashida: I got some beer. You’re drinking? Sudou: Yeah. Bring ‘em out. Hashida: Hmph. Silly.

11:59 (arranges plates) Hashida: Alright. Now that everything’s ready. It’s time. Hashida & Sudou: Bon appetit.

(both started eating)

Hashida: Oh. The flavour soaked in nicely. Sudou: Hm. This is good. Hashida: I was right to tear the konjac with a spoon. They soak the flavour well and curl into a nice shape. Sudou: Hmm, that method is possible, eh? Actually, this really tastes like the one I had at Hashi’s grandma’s. That kinda makes me emotional. Hashida: Emotional? You’re exaggerating. Sudou: Nah, I mean it. Remember how Hashi’s family often feeds my younger brothers and I, since our pop’s always busy with work? So to me chikuzenni at Hashi’s place is what I consider a mom’s home cooking. Hashida: Oh, right. The only family I have is my grandma, after all. I suppose this meal is a mom’s home cooking. I’ve never thought of it that way. Sudou: You better appreciate her more. Hashida: I do! I mean, I don’t feel lacking despite the absence of parents. I’ve never felt lonely just because grandma’s the only family that I have. Hey, now! Don’t make me say something embarrassing! Sudou: Ah, I see. Hmm. I somehow get it. Hashida: Well, in other words, we should be thankful for the love from people around us. Sudou: Whoa. The way you worded it just screams old person. Hashida: Huh? Really? That was unintentional. But right, recently I do feel like I am an old man. Sudou: Hehe. Just kidding. If anything, you no longer seem immature. It’s crazy if you still act the same when you’re a brat. Hashida: I hope you’re right.

13:53 Sudou: Actually, having chikuzenni while talking about the past with you makes me feel like I just time slipped to when we’re kids. Hashida: Hehe! You’re right. We really played hard back then. It’s impressive how we didn’t get sick of it, even though we lived in the countryside. Sudou: Yeah. Oh, I’m recalling things. You’re quite popular among the girls since you’re casually nice to them. Hashida: Really? I think that’s normal. Sudou: How is that normal? Plenty of girls asked me to pass love letters to you. It was so annoying. Hashida: Ahh, that happened, eh? Heck, don’t be annoyed over something petty! Sudou: Nah, it was so annoying. You said you wanted to focus on the club and stuff. Turning them down half-assed. You’re making it awkward even for me too! How annoying. Hashida: You..! In that case, I’ve got something to say too! Did you forget how I had to let you sit on the back seat of my bicycle simply ‘cus you can’t ride it yourself? You can’t do that until 8th grade! There should be a limit to how unathletic one could be! Sudou: Not 8th. 7th grade! Hashida: Nah, you were in 8th grade! It’d be a problem if you still cannot cycle ‘cus we’re gonna commute to a further place in high school so I accompanied you to practice. Remember? Sudou: That was the 7th grade. Definitely not the 8th. Hashida: It’s not important! Sudou: It is. This involves my good name. Hashida: Heh. As always, you’re so oddly stubborn. Whatever. Uh, ah! Hey, Akira! You’re spilling so much! Gosh. Use this to wipe. You never grow out of it. Sudou: Oh, sorry. Hashida: I guess you can’t help when you stop focusing. But why can’t you control your mouth? You’re old enough, it’s about time you fix that habit. Sudou: Uh, you’re right. Hashida: Oh, almost out of beer. Should I bring more? Sudou: Hashi, I think you’re more like a ma than a pops…

How to Speed Up Your WordPress Site for Better Rankings

A fast-loading website is essential for better SEO, improved user experience, and higher conversions. If your WordPress site is slow, you’re likely losing both visitors and ranking opportunities. Here’s how you can fix that.

Choose the Right Hosting

Your hosting provider sets the foundation for your website’s speed. Shared hosting may be affordable, but it often leads to slow performance. Instead, go for managed WordPress hosting or cloud-based options. Many professional website development services include high-performance hosting setup as part of their package.

Use a Lightweight Theme

A bulky, feature-heavy theme can slow your site down significantly. Switch to a lightweight and optimized theme like Astra, Neve, or GeneratePress to improve load time without compromising design.

Optimize Images

Images are often the biggest contributors to page size. Compress them using tools like ShortPixel or Smush, and use next-gen formats like WebP for faster delivery.

Install a Caching Plugin

Caching helps by storing static versions of your site, reducing the server load. Plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache can make a noticeable difference in performance.

Minify and Combine Files

Reduce the size of your CSS, JS, and HTML files by minifying them. This removes unnecessary characters and spaces to speed up load time. Tools like Autoptimize make this easy.

Use a CDN

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) distributes your content across multiple servers globally, ensuring faster access no matter where your visitors are located.

Clean Up Unused Plugins and Database

Too many plugins can slow your site and affect performance. Remove what you don’t use and regularly clean your database using WP-Optimize or similar tools.

Final Thoughts

Speed is a major factor in how users and search engines interact with your site. If you’re unsure where to start, partnering with expert website development services can help you optimize every technical aspect for maximum performance and SEO benefits.

Choosing the Right Hosting for High-Traffic WordPress Sites

When it comes to running a high-traffic WordPress site, choosing the right hosting provider can make all the difference. Whether you're running an eCommerce store, a blog, or a business website, performance, speed, and reliability should be your top priorities. Here's a breakdown of the factors to consider when selecting a hosting plan for your high-traffic WordPress site.

1. Scalability is Key

For high-traffic sites, scalability is essential. Look for a hosting provider that offers scalable solutions, such as cloud hosting or VPS, which can handle traffic spikes and provide additional resources when needed. This flexibility ensures that your site stays fast and responsive even during peak traffic times.

2. Uptime Guarantee

Downtime can be catastrophic for any website, especially one that relies on high traffic. Choose a hosting provider that offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee. This ensures that your site is accessible to visitors at all times, minimizing potential revenue loss.

3. Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN can drastically reduce loading times for visitors from different geographical locations. By caching your content on servers around the world, a CDN ensures your site loads quickly no matter where the visitor is located.

4. Fast and Reliable Customer Support

Technical issues can arise at any time, especially when managing a high-traffic site. Ensure that your hosting provider offers fast and reliable customer support, ideally 24/7, to help resolve any issues quickly and efficiently.

5. Optimized for WordPress

For WordPress sites, it’s crucial to choose a hosting provider that specializes in WordPress optimization. Managed WordPress hosting services offer automated updates, enhanced security, and WordPress-specific performance optimizations, which can make a significant difference in site performance and security.

6. Security Features

With high traffic, your website is more likely to attract hackers. Ensure your hosting provider offers robust security measures like SSL certificates, firewalls, malware scanning, and automatic backups to protect your site and data.
