And as of 2018, page speed became a ranking factor for mobile searches. Even though speed improvements will only affect a small percentage of slow websites, faster page load times lead to better user experience and ultimately, more revenue. So, there are a number of reasons why your website might load slowly. But the most common reasons that I’ve seen are due to slow connectivity, caching, page size, and sometimes more technical reasons like render blocking JS. And the 3 steps in this video should help you get better performance from your site. But keep in mind that the things we did for this site won’t necessarily translate perfectly to your site. This is because there are tons of things to consider when it comes to WordPress site speed like your theme’s code, specific plugins you might be using, server configuration, image file sizes and more. Before you do anything, run your site through some site speed checking tools, like Google’s PageSpeed Insights, Pingdom, GTMetrix or our own Site Audit tool. This will help you see what you need to improve. The first thing we did was to switch DNS providers to Cloudflare’s free DNS service. And you’ll learn how this works and why this is important in the video. The next thing we did was purchase and install the WP Rocket plugin. WP Rocket is an all-in-one site speed optimization plugin for WordPress. The plugin handles common page speed optimizations like caching, preloading, compression, and lazy loads images to name a few. You’ll learn what you need to do after installing WPRocket on your site. And finally, we optimized our images. The simple solution is to compress your images using lossy or lossless compression. And there are some great plugins that’ll do this for you like ShortPixel and Imagify. And these 3-steps gave us a huge improvement, as shown in the speed checking tools we used. If you’re still unhappy with your site speed after making these optimizations, then you’ll likely need more custom work done for you. So you may want to consider removing plugins and scripts, switching themes, or hiring a developer to make the appropriate fixes. #speedupyourwordpresswebsite #pagespeed #technicalseo Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:58 Common reasons that impact website’s load time 1:50 Run a test through page-speed testing tools 3:01 Switch to a fast DNS provider 5:23 Start with caching files 6:05 Optimize CSS files 7:41 Set up JS files loading 8:50 Optimize the media files 9:10 Set up preloading priority 9:49 Use CDN 11:09 Optimize your images Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials. https://www.youtube.com/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1 STAY TUNED: Ahrefs ► https://ahrefs.com/ YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook ►https://www.facebook.com/Ahrefs Twitter ►https://twitter.com/ahrefs

Hi, does it help to go to a good hosting provider like the ones that use litespeed. Not sure what that means but they say it makes speed faster.
i had that 99%, but after some hours it dropped to 91 so i watched your video and it dropped to 88% 😡
why are you just trying to sell us stuff. ?? ??
If there is such a plugin that serves the purpose properly without doing any complex tasks, then obviously the plugin will be the first priority for everyone. As a user will recommend the most workable plugin, Next3 offload. It will meet your desires regarding increasing the speed of your website.
This is the great video, I’m abir mahbub from Bangladesh, looking for video which can help me, but didn’t find any video, after all find out your video, this helped me pretty much
Glad it helped! 🙏

Nice video!!
Can we do the same in CRAFT CMS
You may try. But remember – all changes are better to apply on a staging website so you can revert changes if anything goes wrong.
-Helen
Just the best. Thank you!
Glad you like it!

8:39 – if minifing or defer js will broke site, is it possible to just turn that off and reverse minifying? Or if i will do that through wp rocket it will change files irreversibly? Or it will be enough to turn off wp rocket to load page as it was before using plugin?
This was a super great video. Really simple and so clear. Beginners will appreciate it. Thank you, you’ve done a great job with the editing as well. Looking forward to more tutorials like this.
Glad it was helpful! More videos to come 🙏
