Whether you are a developer or not, optimizing the website may be a difficult issue. You will find many publishing guidelines and online tutorials. Remember that most of them are written for extensive audiences. They may not help improving your specific situation.
The following are some common WordPress speed optimization myths I want to eliminate . .
1. More plug -in causes the website speed
When you are the first When you set your WordPress website again, you have a lot of tools to reach. Using as many plugins as possible to add various functions to your site may be very attractive. However, this is sometimes more disadvantaged. Oremial, useless or other conflict plug -ins may reduce your website speed and cause accidents.
As long as the plug -in is effective.
Use only those who are beneficial to your website . Uninstall or delete any outdated or useless plug -in.
Although it is generally believed that the quality of the plug -in, not the quantity. Just
a poorly written plug -in can cause errors or your website. Take some time to check your current plug -in and delete the plug -in you do not use or no longer need to meet your site needs.
2. CDN
Content delivery network or CDN
can help you provide assets to the visitors (for example, image, CSS file, JS file). They provide assets from the closest position as possible to provide assets to reduce delay. The delay is the length of time required to send the content to the user browser. The farther the visitors are from the server, the longer the delay of receiving content.
Put this in the context, imagine you are playing basketball and shooting in the basket. The farther the ball you throw away, the longer the ball reaches the basket. The same principle is also applicable here. Using CDN, the content is distributed to the world’s site users. You rely on the server network to provide services to your site. Therefore, the information is sent from the closest server of the departure.
For companies and websites with international audiences,
CDN is a valuable resource . If your coverage is much smaller, it may be unnecessary costs. For example, if your server is located in Mexico and your website visitors are mainly from Mexico, then CDN may not bring many benefits. However, if your visitors are mainly from Europe, then using CDN will help.
CDN also acts as an external server. This means that they must conduct DNS search to find each external server. This process may take considerable time (about 200 milliseconds). If you want to use CDN, make sure that the time saved is more important than DNS search and analysis.
3. 你应该使用所有类型的缓存
有
许多Different cache options available. Database cache, page cache, and MEMCACHED are just a small part of many options. Some experts and publications are recommended to use all available cache resources.
If you have a site without cache, your server will have to enter your database to find and collect all necessary components. Then, it recreates them to the browser through PHP every time your site user accesss a specific page. This may take a long time to complete.
Page cache creates static HTML content files. This means that your PHP does not have to re -generate your page every time someone accesss them. This can save a lot of time. Whenever someone visits a website with a page cache, they do not visit the database of the website.Sometimes the page cache causes unnecessary cache database.
In some cases, the database cache may be more effective. An example is a very dynamic site, where the page cache may be unrealistic. However, this is an exception of this rule. For bloggers and owners of most different types of websites, there is no need to worry about database cache.
Specifically existing server -level operation. If you are on the hosting or shared hosting server, you may limit what you can do. The host of the server is in control. In these cases, you can still install a plug -in for page cache, which is something that most websites can easily complete.
4. The cache plug -in is the good way you need
cache plug -in is a good way to make your website faster
. But this is not the only tool you can use. You can optimize the WordPress website at multiple levels. After the correct configuration, cache plug -in will definitely help . If your website performs poorly, this may be a fast repair. But this is only the last step to improve the speed of the website.
cache plug -in cannot solve common problems, such as bad code code , But they can help minimize the impact. Spending time to repair other components of the website can improve the speed and performance of your website.
5. Reduce http requests
Many themes and plugins load images and script files from websites such as Facebook and Google, which will affect the loading time. If the plug -in you use makes a lot of requests, please don’t be surprised to see the loading time slower.
A common rule of experience is
Limit how much HTTP requests must be issued by your site
. This is a good guidance policy, but there are more content in addition. A good example in this area is narrowing. Many narrowing plug -in and tools will compress smaller CSS files into a large file. This means that there are no more CSS files on your website, but now there are only one. That is
a HTTP request, not 10 separate
requests.

Most popular hosting service providers spend a lot of time to improve and maximize performance. Sharing host is a popular choice for many small enterprises because it is affordable. Remember, you share resources with many other sites at the same time. High -performance sites on the shared server may reduce the performance of other sites on the network.
It is usually not recommended to use free network custody services, because they usually have shutdown and slow speeds. question. It is worthwhile to invest well. The bad hosting may limit the operating speed of your website and may cause potential customers and competitors to develop business. There are many great masters there. The cheap hosting is not always bad, and the expensive hosting is not always good. 7. All WordPress themes are optimized by speed The number of topics you can choose is impressive, so considering speed when choosing the topic is important. Many well -known themes are not good, which will affect loading time. You need to choose a theme that is both visually attractive and in terms of speed. You may need some attempts and errors before you find the theme of achieving a perfect balance between these factors.
Many WordPress website owners choose basic themes and choose high -performance plug -in to achieve the visual feelings and efficiency they want. Most of the code on your website comes from the theme, so the code with poor coding may reduce the speed of the website. The theme of multi -purpose or
\”one -size -fits -all\” contains many functions
. Some of them have extra scripts that are loaded but not used. If you have one of the themes, please activate the feature you will use.
8. Page speedThe score of the degree tool is very important
After you use GTMETRIX, Google PageSpeed \u200b\u200bInsights, Pingdom or other website speed testing tools, your website will get its performance score. You will also get a list containing different suggestions. People think their website needs a perfect result. When Googlebot visited the website, what it focused on your page loading speed. It does not know which level of speed testing tools for your website. Higher grades do not necessarily mean faster page loading time. Speed \u200b\u200blevels and suggestions can recognize the bottlenecks and other potential problems of your website. But each tool has a different score of the same site.
It is recommended to improve your page loading time 
, but some suggestions are not very useful, or may be challenging to execute. For example, when Google PageSpeed \u200b\u200brecommends moving JS and CSS files to the footer of the page. Some JS files are easy to move, but others may damage or destroy your website when moving. If you load your website without using a CSS style, your website visitors may think that your website is damaged.
Performance performance is very good, but they are not important
. How fast is the loading speed of your page is really important.
