And as of 2018, page speed became a ranking factor for mobile searches. <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>So, there are a number of reasons why your website might load slowly. But the most common reasons that I&#039;ve seen are due to slow connectivity, caching, page size, and sometimes more technical reasons like render blocking JS. <\/p>\n<p>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&#039;t necessarily translate perfectly to your site.<\/p>\n<p>This is because there are tons of things to consider when it comes to WordPress site speed like your theme&#039;s code, specific plugins you might be using, server configuration, image file sizes and more. <\/p>\n<p>Before you do anything, run your site through some site speed checking tools, like Google&#039;s PageSpeed Insights, Pingdom, GTMetrix or our own Site Audit tool. <\/p>\n<p>This will help you see what you need to improve. <\/p>\n<p>The first thing we did was to switch DNS providers to Cloudflare&#039;s free DNS service.<\/p>\n<p>And you&#039;ll learn how this works and why this is important in the video. <\/p>\n<p>The next thing we did was purchase and install the WP Rocket plugin. <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>You&#039;ll learn what you need to do after installing WPRocket on your site. <\/p>\n<p>And finally, we optimized our images.<\/p>\n<p>The simple solution is to compress your images using lossy or lossless compression. And there are some great plugins that&#039;ll do this for you like ShortPixel and Imagify. <\/p>\n<p>And these 3-steps gave us a huge improvement, as shown in the speed checking tools we used. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#039;re still unhappy with your site speed after making these optimizations, then you&#039;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. <\/p>\n<p>#speedupyourwordpresswebsite #pagespeed #technicalseo<\/p>\n<p>Timestamps:<\/p>\n<p>0:00 Intro<br \/>\n0:58 Common reasons that impact website&#039;s load time<br \/>\n1:50 Run a test through page-speed testing tools<br \/>\n3:01 Switch to a fast DNS provider<br \/>\n5:23 Start with caching files<br \/>\n6:05 Optimize CSS files<br \/>\n7:41 Set up JS files loading<br \/>\n8:50 Optimize the media files<br \/>\n9:10 Set up preloading priority<br \/>\n9:49 Use CDN<br \/>\n11:09 Optimize your images<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials.<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n<p>STAY TUNED:<br \/>\nAhrefs \u25ba https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/<br \/>\nYouTube \u25ba https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1<br \/>\nFacebook \u25bahttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ahrefs<br \/>\nTwitter \u25bahttps:\/\/twitter.com\/ahrefs<\/p>\n<div class=\"vpe_-video-url\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Speed Up Your WordPress Website (Simple Guide)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BrY6a-lsLp8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"soc_custom_post_ad soc_left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/go.hotmart.com\/F60325528S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-630 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/victormartinezb.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/we-start-tomorow-300x197.png\" alt=\"Learn Spanish We Start Tomorrow\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this video, you&#039;ll learn how to speed up your WordPress website in 3 simple steps. *************************************** Additional SEO Resources WordPress SEO Tutorial for Beginners (Search Engine Optimization Basics) \u25ba https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jN_xx9jGDVc WordPress SEO: Advanced Technical SEO Made Easy \u25ba https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=du-NB9FqVis A Basic (Yet Powerful) Technical SEO Audit for Beginners \u25ba https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oJPGa0J6p5Q SEO Audit: How to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":[],"categories":[13,26,58,4,110,18,103],"tags":[224,225,226,227,228,229,230,231,232,233,234,235,236,237,238,239,240],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.4 -
