There are several ways to speed up a WordPress website:
- Optimize your images by compressing them and using the appropriate image file format (e.g., use JPEG for photographs and PNG for graphics with transparent backgrounds).
- Use a caching plugin, which will create a static version of your pages and posts and serve that to users instead of dynamically generating the content each time someone visits your site.
- Minimize the use of plugins, as each plugin you add to your site can slow it down. Only use plugins that are absolutely necessary, and consider finding alternatives for those that are not.
- Enable Gzip compression, which can reduce the size of your website’s files by up to 70%.
- Use a content delivery network (CDN) to serve static files (such as images and CSS files) from a location that is closer to your users, which can reduce the time it takes for those files to load.
- Optimize your website’s database by deleting unnecessary data and optimizing tables.
- Enable lazy loading, which defers the loading of images and other content until the user scrolls down to them. This can reduce the amount of data that needs to be loaded initially, which can improve your site’s loading speed.
