Website Speed: Everything That Matters, Briefly Print

  • websitespeedperformance, website, performance, caching, troubleshooting, uploads, database, php, plugins, woocommerce

The whole category in one page.

THE THREE THINGS THAT PRODUCE MOST OF THE GAIN

  • Images: resize, then compress, before uploading
  • Caching: enable it, test afterwards
  • PHP version: use a current one

Those three fix most slow sites.

THE MEASUREMENT THAT MATTERS

Your own phone, on mobile data, away from wifi.

Not a test from another continent, and not a score.

WHAT TO LOOK AT IN A REPORT

Total page size and the largest files.

Under a megabyte is good.

WHAT TO AUDIT PERIODICALLY

Plugins Third-party scripts The database Bot traffic

WHAT CAUSES REGRESSION

Images uploaded without preparation. Teach anyone editing the site.

FOR SHOPS

The checkout matters most and cannot be cached.

Test a purchase on mobile data regularly.

BEFORE BUYING A LARGER PLAN

Try caching and images. The problem is frequently free to fix.

THE HONEST TARGET

Fast enough on a phone on mobile data. Not a perfect score.
