How to increase Wordpress blog speed?

I want to increase my blog speed. It takes too much time for uploading.

Thank you.

 

When I encountered the same issue I started solving it by investigating what could cause slow upload time.
Used GT metric since it is quite advanced in the field (I may miss some other great tools).

In my case, it was three main reasons for slow uploading time*

• Plugins
• Hosting did not suit my site needs
• Pictures weren't scaled properly

*reasons may vary greatly from project to project.

 

Agree, probably you use all your data and you need better service, so improving hosting could help.

 

Check out Google PSI. It will show you what's slowing your site down. There's actually a bunch of tutorials online of how could you make your WordPress site faster, but to narrow them down for you make sure you don't have millions of plugins and don't put millions of images since it's going to take forever to load. Make sure that your theme is optimised for speed, and talking about optimising do not forget that you should do that to your images before putting them on your site as well, it's going to make them eat less space of your server. Other than that things such as hosting provider matters, because your site might be very slow because your hosting provider is not performing well?

 

First of all, you should input your site into https://gtmetrix.com/ and https://tools.pingdom.com/. These will show you where the bottlenecks to loading your site are. In addition to that, here are general ways to improve loading speed in WordPress:

1. Use quality hosting, preferably specialized in WordPress
2. Run your site on HTTPS/HTTP2
   
3. Use the latest version of PHP on your server
4. Update WordPress core and its components regularly
5. Only use themes and plugins from reputable sources
6. Do regular database maintenance
7. Decrease server requests on your pages
8. Optimize your images so they load fast
9. Enable gzip compression
10. Use a caching plugin
    
11. Considering using a Content Deliver Network (CDN)

The above should cover most bases. From here, you can test singular sites and see if they have any assets that keep them from loading fast. Hope this helps!

 

blog speed can be increased in different ways, If you follow all the below rules then your blod speed can be increased significantly.
1)Hosting you need good web hosting
2) Reduce the number of plugins deactivate unnecessary plugins
3) use cache plugins like wp-cache, autoptimize, wprocket, etc.
4) optimize the database regularly ith plugins
5) use only jpg images to reduce the size of the image.
6)A good lightweight WordPress theme required.
7)use CDN

 

Go to URL: developers .google .com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ ( PageSpeed Insight). Put your blog's URL in the box and you will get recommendation. Google even provides you optimized codes and images. You can download it and replace the existing files on the server. If you are not a developer, you can ask your developer to do it. You can use GTmatrix instead of pagespeed insight.
Now a day, people use smart phone to access websites, so if you can implement AMP ( accelerated Mobile pages), It will do miracles for you. There are plugins for implementing AMP on wordpress. You can use: AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages ( wordpress .org/plugins/accelerated-mobile-pages/.) they have 100,000+ downloads.

Get a good hosting, optimize the codes and images, implement CDN, implement AMP and also if possible caching and your website will run like reindeer. be super fast.

 

I use Gtmetrix as well as google page speed to get a good idea of what needs improving on any page, not just blog posts.

I've found that google sometimes scores certain 'issues' higher than the effect they have on the site, for example changing image formats to jpg2000.

 

All good comments. I will add:

Hosting - make sure it's a great fast Cloud Server
Theme - Is Theme Fast? Does the Theme have Theme Support?
Make sure plugins are not slowing down the website speed - use another if you suspect this
Use SVG images wherever you can
Learn how to fix all the issues in GTMetrix
Set your WordPress Max memory limit in wp-config to the highest your host will let you.

 

Are you talking about Wordpress the CMS or Wordpress.com the blogging platform. I'm new here so not sure. Assuming you are talking about the CMS you need a:

Fast Hosting:
You'd be amazed the difference good hosting does when it comes to speed. If you are serious about having a fast site, I recommend nothing less than VPS hosting.

Light Theme:
RUN AWAY from multi-purpose themes like Avada/Betheme. These themes are bloated. I used these themes in thge past and would get great scores on Google Pagespeed Insights, until the switched out how the measure speed in November 2018.

Optimize Images:
I use a plugin called shortpixel to optimize images. It's paid but not expensive. Costs like 20 bucks to process 20k images. This plugin also serves images in WebP format.

Caching Plugin:
I use WP-Rocket for my sites.

I am able to score 90/100 using Google Pagespeed insights, that's after loading Google Analytics.

 

I am using Super Cache in my site : https://www.j-turkey.com

 

1. Use WordPress specialized hosting. In my experience, it is one of the most important things, the speed differences are significant.
2. Use a cache plugin - I use Fastest cache or LightSpeet
3. Keep the number of plugins installed to a minimum. A good measure for both speed and security.
There are things that can be set from code without the need for a plugin.
4. Choose light and well-made themes
5. Compress the images before upload or use a plugin
6. Does not include external files to fonts, .js files if not needed

 

Remove all unnecessary plugins as they are usually taking too much space on the site, check fonts and take care that you don't have more than 2 fonts present on the site, optimize images and compress them so that they aren't too big, and so on. Start with this and your load speed will definitely improve.

 

To have an acceptable website, some criteria must be considered.
If you are using a shared web hosting service, you must choose a website that:

• For sure you are aware of the number of visits to your website so you must choose a service which can be responsible for that number of visitors
• Try to use NVME based web host
• Use caching plugins
• Try optimizing your website and database
• Deactivate unnecessary plugins
• Keep your theme and plugins updated
• You can use a CDN for your website

 

Ways to increase WordPress Blog Speed -

• Test the performance.
• Pick a trustworthy hosting company.
• Refresh everything.
• Use PHP's most recent version.
• Delete any plugins that aren't being used.
• Install only top-notch plugins.
• Use a minimal theme.
• enhance the images.
• Try loading your content slowly.
• Install a caching plugin for WordPress.
• Simplify the layout and content of your pages.

 

You can use clear cache plugins in your WordPress blogs, it clarifies most of the cache. Uninstall unused plugins. Use light theme, stay up to date with all plugins and WordPress themes. You can optimize Image sizes with some tools, which can the most affect your blog.
