WordPress is a great Content Management System and we can say this with confidence because our blog and many other blogs around the globe run on the very same platform. The only issue with WordPress is that it takes too much time to load.
Page load time is very important today a slow websites can make your website fall at the bottom of search engine results. Individuals don’t appreciate slow loading websites and you can easily drop most of your visitors for a few extra milliseconds of time taken to load your website. But that doesn’t mean you can’t ensure anything to modify it. We’ve compiled a list of instructions that you can use to accelerate your WordPress Website. Let’s have a look at it.

1] Use a good Theme/Framework: If you’re building your WordPress website by using a theme or framework as a base, then you need to safeguard that you have the finest one. Look out for themes or frameworks that are simple and have a clean code. If the fundamentals of your website functions efficiently then the importance of it will definitely show in your website’s performance. We recommend ‘Thesis Theme Framework’ for your WordPress website but there are many related options available that you can select from.

2] Use a caching plugin: Caching can increase the load times of your website considerably. It’s a process where parts of your website are saved on the visitor’s browser so that it only needs to be loaded once instead of every time a visitor lands on your website. This works perfectly for your consistent visitors. We suggest W3 Total Cache plugin, which will help you accomplish the caching capabilities on your website.

3] Optimize images: Images are a very significant part of content and that’s one reason why you will find many websites with images. This can add substantial amount of load to the website resulting in longer page load times. Enhancing all images without losing quality is possible but to do this manually for each and every image is going to be a real task. Luckily you can use a plugin called WP Smush.it that can automatically enhance all the images on your website. The plugin accomplishes this magic of optimizing images by stripping the unused colors from indexed images and metadata from Jpegs.

4] Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN): The main function of CDN is to take all your static files like images, Css, etc on your website and makes it obtainable to users through a server closer to them. This safeguards that your visitors around the world will be able to load your website in the quickest probable time. Most CDN services are offered for a price but if you’re short on budget, we suggest using CloudFlare.

5] Invest in good hosting: Don’t look for the best rate, rather look for great quality. Hosting plays a key role to make sure your website is always up. Free hosting may look eye-catching but a frequently offline website is going to drive your traffic away. Also Shared hosting can be a good substitute to start off with but as your site grows it’s suitable to move to better types of hosting like VPS hosting. This will safeguard that you can divert more traffic on your website without the fear of your website slowing down or crashing.

We hope these tips work wonders and makes your website more well-organized. We would love to hear some of your secrets on how to make your WordPress Website work efficiently, so feel free to leave a comment below.
