RT @SiteGround: 💠Here are our favorite quotes from the #WPSpeedChat by @dimensionmedia,@felixarntz, @FrancescaMarano, and @pandjarov! Rea…
-
@SiteGround @pandjarov @FrancescaMarano @felixarntz As a developer, use the correct caching for your plugins and themes. Transient caching will speed up often when you are communicating with third party APIs for example, or just storing very temp (but highly read) info on a #BuddyPress site for example. #WPSpeedChat
-
@SiteGround @pandjarov @FrancescaMarano @felixarntz Often the biggest improvements come down to (1) images (2) #JavaScript and (3) caching. Usually at least one of these can be tweaked for increased site speed on most sites. Personally increasing image compression on image heavy sites has saved me significant load. #WPSpeedChat
-
A8 Too much compression can effect quality of images, but these days compression is getting very good. Most users in normal situations can’t tell the difference. Photography and e-commerce site owners might want to pay more attention. #WPSpeedChat
-
A6 I’ve seen those new to #WordPress select the wrong size images as feature images or in image galleries which is obvious when you load the page how that effects page load. #WPSpeedChat
-
A5 What breaks a site? Seen a few #JavaScript “optimizations” – both manual and ones done automatically by plugins – break sites just by the way they went about it or the way the plugin or theme enqueued the code. #WPSpeedChat
-
A4 I’m not sure what the top mistake would be but I often see people try out multiple caching and performance plugins when the issue mainly has to be solved more “under the hood” in (usually custom) code or on the server side itself. #WPSpeedChat
-
A3 Troubleshooting speed uses w/ #WordPress sites: Assuming the problem is w/ the site, turn off plugins and switching to a default theme would be a quick and easy way to compare (backup first). Also check (or ask host to check) server logs for any red flags. #WPSpeedChat
-
A2 Monitoring “speed” tools? tools.pingdom.com and gtmetrix.com are nice. Also important to see how your site performs on slower (especially mobile) speeds like 3G. You can do this via tools built into most browsers, and real world feedback. #WPSpeedChat
-
A1 Lowest hanging fruit for optimizing a #WordPress site could include (1) turn off any plugins or functionality you aren’t using (2) re-evaluate your hosting – on $5? shared? (3) consider a simple caching plugin or explore host solutions (many hosts include it). #WPSpeedChat
