Reduce page load time as much as possible!

Since this is a problem I often encounter on my clients’ sites, I decided to prepare a complete article with a simple and effective action plan without any technical prerequisites.

This article is from my free guide to improving your WordPress site in 15 steps (feel free to subscribe and share). This guide contains a lot of tips on security, blogging, installation, plugins, themes and more.

The problem is that without a performance policy, your site will never be fast by default.

So, did you know that with some good advice, careful configuration and the right plugins, it is absolutely possible to have a fast WordPress site that loads in no time?

One day, a client contacted me, because he could no longer tolerate his site being slow, many service providers have gone through this without necessarily improving the thing.

So after my audit, I discovered a number of issues and opportunities that were not being exploited.

So I implemented the concrete actions that I describe in this article, and the results exceeded even my expectations. On some pages, loading went from 7 seconds to just 1 second, which is 7 times faster.

Can you imagine?
