I think I've made my website a little faster using the plugins described. This was very helpful and well explained. Thank you so much!!

Thanks Laurence - this is super helpful! I am currently working on a website expecting lots of traffic and have been trying to figure out which is the best CDN for me- do you have any thoughts on this? In addition to the ones you mention I'm also looking at Fastly and Akamai and noticed you didn't have them up there. Any reason for this?

this is a very nice guide, but at the end the easiest way to speed up the website, is to make sprites for certain images, and use CLOUDFLARE all life long, if you have some wordpress blog also on the side combine W3 with cloudflare will do a lot ! but in W3 you need to check the right options otherwise it gets even worse combined with cloudflare, like let cloudflare minify and redirect not w3 and etc.. etc ...

Very well written! Thanks for your valuable thoughts on this great topic.

Thanks for the article Laurence. Very well written! Thanks for your valuable thoughts on this great topic.

Very helpful blog ! The websites whose loading speed is slow are really difficult to rank on the SERP's. Through this blog, You have mentioned it very well. thanks and keep sharing!

Due to its simplicity to use features and a large library of easily available plugins, even a new or zero knowledge tech person like me can build the professional websites by using the WordPress. And following some new updates in Google’s ranking algorithm, site loading speed has become even more necessary for a ranking website.

Thank you so much for sharing an excellent article about "Faster Loading WordPress Plugins". These are the plugins which I feel everybody need to be used in their blogging life. Now as you explain superbly the use of plugins to us, I am going the practice those to my blog. Also, with my experience, I could highly suggest you to configure Cloudflare for your website. It’s free, easy to install & it offers free CDN & makes your blog fast and secure.

One quick question; using too many plugins make the blog or website to load slowly. What do you say? Thanks in advance.

Images on your blog perform an important role, those posts with images get more social media shares than the posts without an image. You should NOT host images on 3rd party websites. When you are hosting images on your own hosting server, you are safe from the higher risks. More importantly, you own the images, and you get to reap the SEO benefits of having images.

I used to think about hosting my images on different 3rd party sites too but later I feel not secure. I load all my images on my blog, whatever will give you traffic is not advice-able to be on 3rd party. Using image compression strategy is the best tips to me. But I still suggest you host images on your server. To offload the loading & reduce the bandwidth, you can use a CDN service. Anyways, thanks for the extra information it makes it think again about site loading and affecting images for image SEO.

Nice article... I was surfing around to get some solid stuff regarding website slow sown issue. Your article provided detailed explanation for the same and given me some tools also which I can use in future. Thank you for sharing this article.

Through enabling Gzip and Cache,image optimization we can achieve above 80 score.

Actually I am facing this issue, my site is loading slow from few days. Its time to optimization my website speed, and I found my solution here. thanks a lot.

How much of a difference does upgrading my server make. Is it worth it? I found out that i have the lowest grade server available through godaddy. Any tips on a good option to go to?

Thank you for the tips. I did everyone one except 9 and 6. it seems to be loading faster. I have over 800 revisions that were removed.

Thx for a nice post! :-) I also learnt a lot about improving performance by using HTTP/2 and new solutions like Caddy and ShimmerCat. HTTP/2and related solutions might be something for a future article perhaps?

your post is very interesting and very informative
learned something new :)

Cool post. I've been having trouble with my site as it is really taking too long to load each time you visit the home page. I've been wanting to apply some things I've learned from Andrew Wise's blog but I wanted to fix the page loading problem first. Luckily the caching fixed it. thank you!
