There are many things can slow down your website or speed it up. As a side note, these are not ordered by importance or any criteria, We’ve just gathered everything we’ve learned around how to speed up WordPress page loads and listed them all here.
This is what we done on our demo site to improve the loading time. You could try to follow it to improve your website’s speed.
-
- Choose a good host.
When starting out, a shared host might seem like a bargain if you don’t have too many visitor. But if you have more than 1000 visitors per day, you should use a VPS, or at least a higher plan of a sharing hosting.
- Use an effective caching plugin.WordPress plugins are obviously quite useful, but some of the best fall under the caching category, as they drastically improve page loads time, and best of all, all of them on WordPress.org are free and easy to use.
We are using WP Rocket for our demo site.
- Combining CSS, JS and HTML.Using Autoptimize for combining CSS, JS and HTML. Even the cache plugin supports combining those files, but sometime it break JS scripts.
- Use a content delivery network (CDN).Essentially, a CDN, or content delivery network, takes all your static files you’ve got on your site (CSS, Javascript and images etc) and lets visitors download them as fast as possible by serving the files on servers as close to them as possible.
- Optimize images (automatically)Yahoo! has an image optimizer called Smush.it that will drastically reduce the file size of an image, while not reducing quality. However, if you are like me, doing this to every image would be beyond a pain, and incredibly time consuming. Fortunately, there is an amazing, free plugin called WP-SmushIt which will do this process to all of your images automatically, as you are uploading them. No reason not to install this one.
- Add Expires headers to your files.If you test your website speed on some tools, like GTmetrix, you will get a notice about adding expires headers. You can follow this tutorial to add it to your website.
Actually, this is not because of the theme but due to the host settings. For this one, you should contact your host to check the Redirect Issues.
Sometimes, there is warning in your site such as:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/lessphp/3rdparty/lessc.inc.php on line 311
This one is caused by the file wp-config.php
. To fix theme, please add the line below to this file:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’,’256M’);
Sometimes, there is warning in your site such as:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/revo/lib/utils.php on line 139
