Sites are usually slow because plugins or the theme create PHP errors. These PHP errors cannot be found on speed reports but will be identified and fixed following the speed audit. These PHP errors can slow down even fast sites and happen over time or after plugin/theme updates.

Stop your ads being penalized with high cost per click due to slow page load speeds. Avoid messages like this:

"Thank you for contacting Google Ads Support. I can't see any policy violations either, however I did check your ads and saw that the page speed for mobile users is very low. This can actually lead to such a rejection, so if you want to prevent the policy violation then I would recommend you to contact your webmaster to improve that accordingly." Here are the steps I follow to speed up a site: 1. Server optimization/caching

2. PHP errors from theme and plugins that slow down the site because they make long queries or run on a loop without being resolved.

3. CSS/JS errors fixed. These relate to UX (mobile/desktop view) and performance (sites with UX errors get low grades in the speed reports).

4. CSS/JS merging/deferring. Unused CSS cleaning. Reduces the CSS file size up to 96%.

5. Fonts served locally and preloaded so they are not render-blocking.

6. I have developed a technique to reduce the file size of images up to 78% (lossless compression), not found elsewhere. Freelancers either shrink the images via WP plugins e.g., Imagify, Smush, or online services that destroy the visuals. My technique is 100% manual (two-stage processing). Plus, I offer different image versions depending on the device to maximize speed and better UX (webp format for GPI, jpg/png for iOS, smaller dimensions for mobile devices).

7. Defer external scripts pulled on the page i.e. Facebook, Analytics, Google Ads, chat widgets, tracking scripts.

8. Speed up the back-end that nobody else does. Useful when pulling post/pages/products to edit and doing everyday maintenance.

9. Remove the clutter from the database that plugins leave behind when removed. Create indexes and help the database respond faster to queries.

5 STEPS TO SPEED UP WORDPRESS SITE BY REDUCING IMAGE SIZE

The larger the file size of your images the better the quality, that is a given right. We all like sharp images and vivid colours. However, large files usually have a bad effect on your site speed. Larger file size the file size slows down the load speeds of your site. This is very bad for traffic. According to a research done by Microsoft, you will lose at least 30% of your first time visitors if your website loads slowly. Knowing how hard it takes to get traffic, a single percent of them should not be lost. There are various ways to do this, they include;

Compress images with WP Smush.it

The WP Smush.it plug-in works for WordPress based sites. Just install WP Smush.it and your graphic files will be compressed automatically. This compression will be done without negatively influencing visual quality. After the installation, you can run the plugin through your previously loaded images library. So just by installing WP Smush.it, you can reduce your image size, which should eventually speed up your site. A host of other compression plug-ins for compressing images exist like EWWW Image Optimizer. Test some of the plugins then and decide which one fulfils your needs.

Compress with image editor

With JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group), one could compress images this would make them smaller. One can get a 10:1 compression with JPEG, with little reduction in image quality. Other image editors like Microsoft paint, Photoshop could come in handy when editing images. Not forgetting, online image editors and reduction tools are available if needed, for image reduction.

Decide on image dimensions

A photo editor can aid to accomplish this task. With image sizes specified, your browser needn’t have to figure it out. Failure to do so however will deliver to your browser an onerous task. That is figuring how your other content will be arranged in relation to the pictures. This extra work slows down your browser, thereby hiking your webpage opening time.

Prevent Hotlinking of Images

Hotlinking basically is a situation in which another site displays an image, but gets it from a different site whenever it is needed. So instead of a site saving the image on their site, they’d rather recall it from some else’s site. This would cost you bandwidth, thereby costing money while reducing loading speed. By typing this snippet below, hotlinking will stop

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %HTTP_REFERER !^$ RewriteCond %HTTP_REFERER !^http(s )? // (www\. ) ?yourwebsite.com [NC] RewriteRule \ . (jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ – [NC,F,L]

These methods above would work on none wordpress based sites too. However, the plug-ins and the code line to stop hotlinking, they would only work for wordPress based websites.
