So, you have heard that Google will be considering your website speed when considering it for the top search results and now you want to make your website as fast as possible so you can keep or make it up to the number 1 spot of the Big-G.

Good thing you found this post because I'll educate you on how to reduce the size of your pages/posts and make your website more quickly than ever. Below you'll find 10 great tips that can help you greatly speed up your WordPress blog. Enjoy and don’t forget to note and share this post!

Below are 10 great ways you can help speed up your WordPress website so you can give a better experience for your users and conceivably boost your rankings a bit.

👉 1. Cache Your Pages:

WordPress Themes work by making queries to your wp-database and returning the substance that it will show on your site. So, every time you load a page on your site it initially needs to recover the essential information from your database which can drastically dial back your site, particularly if you are making plenty of solicitations to your DB. Ideally, you would need to have a "cached” version (HTML) of your site so that when your pages are stacked everything has been called for. The most ideal way to do this is by utilizing a WordPress caching plugin, my favourite one is called Hyper Cache.

👉 2. Reduce your image sizes:

Everybody loves utilizing huge loads of pictures on their websites nowadays since they make your webpage really intriguing and marvellous looking. Notwithstanding, pictures can be huge and consume a large chunk of the day to stack. Assuming you truly are hoping to accelerate WordPress I would propose you complete 3 things: eliminate any superfluous pictures, lessen how many pictures are on some random post and Smush your pictures. Yippee offers support called Smush it, where you can transfer any picture and it will diminish its size while keeping the first quality. I propose you begin by smashing each of the pictures in your subject documents as these will be on each page of your site. You can likewise return to your wp-uploads folder smush any of your transferred pictures and do it for any future pictures you transfer.

Something else you need to ensure with regards to pictures is that assuming you are showing thumbnails on posts, you are not stacking a full picture and afterwards showing it at a more modest aspect utilizing the width="" and height="" labels. There is no good reason for stacking a tremendous picture to show it at a large portion of its size. You can utilize the default WordPress picture re-sizer or script to auto-resize your pictures to meet your requirements.

Diminishing the size and measure of pictures on your site can have a truly observable distinction in how quickly it loads.

👉 3. Limit Scripts:

Many websites these days are adding huge loads of various scripts to "improve" their webpage, in any case, these will dial back your webpage like no other. I propose you stick to a few scripts as could be expected. On WPTopTen I utilize the Tweetmeme script, yet if I somehow happened to add the Digg button, ongoing tweets, share on Facebook… this multitude of different scripts, then my site would presumably consume a huge chunk of time to stack. Individuals and obviously Google need quick stacking locales, so adhere to the scripts that you truly need or are truly adding something to your site. All the other things that simply look pretty, are eliminated.

👉 4. Clean Your Code:

I bet more than 90% of all WordPress-fueled sites (on the off chance that not more) have something like one line of code in their stylesheet or theme files that they truly needn't bother with. Assuming you truly are hoping to speed up your site and lessen its size to the absolute last kilobyte conceivable, then, at that, the time has come to investigate all that code and begin slashing out the superfluous.

First, investigate the template and ensure that nothing there that is as of now not being utilized by your site's plan then, at that point, head on over to the CSS Compressor and dispose of all that unnecessary white space.

Next, you'll need to go through the wide range of various theme files (single.php, index.php, page.php….) and essentially do exactly the same thing. Ensure that you truly need all the code that is in there and afterwards eliminate some of the white space physically. Eliminating the clear space won't have an immense effect, yet to make your site load as quickly as conceivable it seems to be another thing you can do.

👉 5. Enhance the Database:

I referenced before that you can store your WordPress posts and pages so your site wouldn't need to settle on any queries to the database when you load a page. This is valid, nonetheless, for a reserve to be made that page or post must be stacked once. By enhancing your database, you can assist with working on the speed of your non-stored pages/posts (or your whole site on the off chance that you decide to not utilize a caching plugin).

👉 6. Reexamine Your Design:

Everybody adores truly beautiful and image/vector-rich sites, notwithstanding, these can be the slowest ones to stack. If you need a super quick site, you will need to adhere to CSS however much as could reasonably be expected, and with CSS 3 you can accomplish a few truly great plans without the need for Photoshop (images). Do you truly have to have that Goliath picture behind the scenes or would you be able to utilize solid colour”? Is it safe to say that you are utilizing JavaScript image replacement for your route? Pose these kinds of inquiries and go over the plan of your site and I am certain you will track down ways of aiding decline in the size of your format.

👉 7. Cut Those Excerpts:

Is it safe to say that you are one of those individuals that affectionate to have your whole posts on the landing page and class pages? Assuming this is the case, you ought to consider using excerpts of your blog for SEO purposes as well as for webpage speed. You can incredibly diminish how much substance is on a given class page or landing page by utilizing more modest portions. To utilize extracts on your site you should simply utilize the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> format tag and duplicate and compose a little depiction in the excerpt box your WP administrator while making a post.

👉 8. Think Carefully About Content Images:

An image doesn't say 1,000 words, 1,000 words say a thousand words. This is the attitude you want to have consistency when you are contributing to a blog. Not exclusively is "content ruler" with regards to positioning admirably on web crawlers, however, it additionally takes much less memory space to have a pleasant long article than to have a post, for example, "100 wonderful WordPress topics" and show a screen capture of everyone (oof!). Quit adding countless pictures to your site and begin composing valuable substance. Your guests will see the value in it when your site stacks very quickly.

👉 9. Eliminate Unnecessary Plugins:

Okay here is the deal with plugins… They will significantly slow down your site so make a point to eliminate any plugin that you don't NEED on your site. Numerous plugins accompany their own CSS records and a large amount of code that is embedded either inside your header or footer template tags. This additional code and stylesheet lookups can extraordinarily dial back your site. In addition, you should make considerably more demands on your database while utilizing certain plugins. In this way, investigate all your plugins and see which ones you don't truly need to keep your site running with no guarantees (luxury plugins) and erase them. Later, you probably will need to check out your database to eliminate any leftover waste from them.

 

👉 10. Ditch Your Cheap Hosting Service:

Here is the place where everything comes down to. Assuming you have a poor hosting service then your site will presumably be truly sluggish. Consider paying some extra for a superior and quicker hosting service. You, your guests and the web indexes will enormously see the value in the way that you are done being so miserly.
