Speeding up Wordpress?

Is there a plug in that can speed up the loading time of a WP site?

 

Try wp- super cache, minify etc

try to optimize your wordpress theme & plugins

Try a CDN

It will speed your wp blog

 

Yes, there are multiple free cache plugins on wordpress.org which will create your pages with smaller sizes. Will speed up page load time for visitors.

 

I already have some of the cache plug-ins, what is a CDN please?

 

just something like MaxCDN

 

What is a CDN please?

 

Must do:
* Use W3 Total Cache plugin (it's awesome plugin).
* Use only use only necessary plugin and delete deactivate plugin.
* Optimize database.
* Use fast hosting

Optional:
* Use WP Smush.it plugin
* Use CloudFlare service

 

CDN usually stands for content delivery network. And I'm not sure what that would do to help. Google has a new product out there called Google Page speed that might be worth checking out.

 They are the kind of replies I was looking for. Thank you both.

 

 

I agree i have used w3 total cache its by far the best although i recommend using wp minify to minify your css etc it has more functionality.

The first thing I would do is check to see how many active plugins you have. If you have too many plugins attached to WordPress, you're definitely going to slow things down (you probably don't want more than 6-12 or so; and you definitely don't need tons of social media widgets...find one that hits the most important social media/bookmarking sites). You would also want to remove any inactive plugins that you're no longer using.

And, of course, the other recommendations about using some sort of CDN will help as well (notably for your site visitors).

 

Why don't you try to use gzip compression?

 

Here is a link that will answer the question as to whether there really is a need to speed up your page display

http://tools.pingdom.com/ This tests the load time of a web page and provides a report.

 

There is minify option in W3 Total Cache . We can check this post, it's very helpful. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2226510

 

Thanks for all the useful replies. I will put some suggestions into action and report back.

 

Good luck & we'll wait for it

 

If database is big, use some wordpress plugin to optimize database.

 

Use W3 Total cache plugin with self hosted CDN function selected, if you had just started things on wordpress then no need to buy CDN and this self hosted CDN is also capable to deliver decent performance. In future if you feel that you really need something further to boost your site speed then you can buy CDN such as MaxCDN, Good luck.

 

jetpack will work ?

 

What can Jetpack do rather of WP stats, After the deadline and Sharedaddy?
