Benefits of WordPress Speed Optimisation

Today’s internet users are impatient. People expect their search results to be served to them immediately. Did you know that a 1 second delay, in terms of site speed, can result in a 7% drop in conversions?

So, apart from scoring brownie points with Google, our WP speed optimisation service helps by:

  • Keeping visitors on your site, for longer
  • Improving site visitor return rates
  • Converting visitors into paying customers
  • Increasing your sales revenue
  • Conveying a more professional image
  • Making your visitors experience more enjoyable

How do I know if my WordPress site is slow?

The best way to analyse your WordPress website’s speed is to visit a GTmetrix.

We are in no way affiliated with GTmetrix. It is, however, a highly-respected website page speed analysis tool.

Using the button, below, access their site and enter your URL. It will actually show you where improvements can be made to your WordPress site. It’s free to use and you do not need to register.

How do we optimise WordPress for speed?

We improve WordPress website page speed by using a systematic approach. First, as you have just done, we’ll run your site through GTmetrix. This enables us to isolate any issues that might exist.

Depending upon your host, first we’ll access your .htaccess file and activate the Header set Connection keep-alive directive. This ensures you have a constant connection.

Where possible, we’ll also update your PHP version to 7.2. At an absolute bare minimum, your website should be running PHP version 5.6.

If your images are not compressed, we’ll compress them for you. This has a profound effect on latency (the speed at which a webpage loads).

We make sure your site’s images and resources are served from consistent URLs. For example, many poorly designed websites will often have some resources pulled from http://yoursite.com and http://www.yoursite.com URL variations. This inconsistency slows down your site speed.

Caching (pronounced cashing) offers one of the best WordPress speed improvements. Caching expedites load time for returning visitors, because many of the site’s files are stored locally on their browser. We implement browser caching via the .htaccess file on your server, rather than using a plugin.

WordPress has a plethora fantastic plugins available. Unfortunately though, some poorly-coded plugins can seriously harm your site’s speed. In addition, some leave a nasty footprint on your .htaccess file.

If you’re wanting to take your WordPress site speed to a whole new level, we can seriously improve its performance with a Content Delivery Network (CDN). We use CloudFlare’s CDN and can deploy your site across their secure and insanely fast network too.

A seriously bloated MySQL Database is a common culprit when it comes to WordPress speed performance problems. If you’re not optimising your WordPress database once a month, then the chances are yours will be slowing your site down. We’ll optimise your site’s MySQL database via your phpMyAdmin panel.
