It is critical to understand that there is no quick fix for faster website speed loading times. Some techniques may provide you with more value for your money depending on how your website is currently configured. However, if you want to ensure that your site loads as quickly as possible, you must employ as many optimization strategies as possible.
Here are six of the best techniques for increasing the speed of your website.
Every hosting company offers a distinct out-of-the-box baseline performance. Furthermore, it is typically impossible to compare the performance of a web host’s shared plans with that of more sophisticated services like dedicated servers.
Ideally, you should select a web server that delivers top-notch performance on all fronts. Every web hosting company will claim to be the quickest, so it’s up to you to research features, costs, and customer ratings before choosing one.
Later on, you can always switch web hosting companies, although it can be difficult. Your WordPress website ought to be lightning fast right out of the gate if you pick the proper hosting package and service.
One of the most important stages to reducing the load time of your site is caching. By turning on browser caching, you instruct users’ browsers to temporarily cache some (or all) of the static files from your website on their devices.
The subsequent visits should load much more quickly because those visitors won’t need to completely reload your site each time. If you haven’t already set up browser caching in WordPress, now is the ideal moment to do it. There are many benefits to doing so.
Typically, your browser connects to a website’s server when you visit it and uses that connection to send the data it needs to fetch. Users may need to create new connections for each file they wish to transfer, though, if your server is improper setup.
Naturally, that is not an effective approach to upload dozens, often hundreds, of files to a modern website. You should set up your web server to use a persistent connection or “keep-alive” HTTP header in order to prevent it from happening.
Here are instructions for the two most popular web server software choices on how to do that:
But it doesn’t hurt to ask if you’re unsure of how your server is set up.
GZIP, as its name suggests, is a compression technique that enables you to smaller file sizes for a number of website elements. In some circumstances, activating GZIP compression alone can lower your pages’ weight by up to 70%.
A page will often load faster the smaller it is. The majority of web providers (including DreamHost) enable GZIP compression by default for practically all plans. If yours doesn’t, you can quickly add this feature to your WordPress website by following our detailed instructions.
A mobile-friendly version of your WordPress website has long been advised, both for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) reasons and to keep users satisfied.
That strategy required the use of landing page redirects, which directed mobile users to the “proper” version of your site and were made cacheable to speed up the process even more.
Designing numerous versions of your website doesn’t make much sense now that mobile devices outnumber desktop browsers in terms of overall traffic.
You want a single, mobile-friendly design that works with all conceivable resolutions instead.
Redirects should generally be avoided wherever possible. Reducing redirects will speed up the loading speeds of your website because each one adds another hurdle for users to clear.
Your website is stored on a single server that has a fixed location on the majority of hosting options (cloud hosting is an exception).
Your website can experience blockages since each visitor must establish a connection with that server in order to load it.
A global network of servers known as a CDN stores copies of websites. For instance, your website may be hosted in the US and utilize a CDN with servers in Europe, Latin America, and other parts of the world.
CDN will deliver your website from its Latin American servers if a user from Brazil tries to access it.
The strain on your servers is lessened.
For visitors from other countries, it means faster loading times.
There are many excellent CDN options available for WordPress. The majority of those services aren’t free, as you might anticipate. The loading times of a popular website, however, can be greatly impacted by spending a little money on a CDN.
In Conclusion
It can be intimidating to optimize your website to increase performance. As you can see, there are numerous things you may take to speed up loading. You don’t have to apply every optimization at once, though.
Additionally, many of the actions we’ve listed in this article are ones you only need to complete once, including picking the appropriate WordPress theme. As your website gets more traffic, you’ll have more time to optimize it, giving users a better experience and ensuring constant site loading speed.
Choosing a web host that delivers excellent performance right out of the gate will help you ensure that your website loads as quickly as possible.
