Here are some tips on how to make your WordPress website faster:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use fewer plugins:<\/strong> Every plugin adds its own CSS, jQuery, and PHP\/HTML code to your website, which can slow down loading times.<\/li>\n
  2. Choose a good hosting provider:<\/strong> Invest in a hosting provider in the mid-price range (30-75 euros per year). These providers often offer better performance than cheaper options. Hosting providers that use PHP 7 are generally faster than those with PHP 5.<\/li>\n
  3. Secure your website:<\/strong> A well-secured website is better protected against attacks and incorrect requests that can burden the server.<\/li>\n
  4. Use a caching plugin:<\/strong> Cache plugins can make your WordPress website faster, but be aware that some cache plugins have had security vulnerabilities in the past.<\/li>\n
  5. Optimize image sizes:<\/strong> Resize images to an appropriate size. Large images can slow down your site, especially if used in sliders where all images are loaded before the site is displayed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How fast is your WordPress website?<\/h2>\n

    You can use GTmetrix<\/a>, a free tool, to measure the speed of your WordPress website.<\/p>\n

    A PageSpeed score of 97% might be challenging to achieve, but aiming for a score of 70-80 is important.<\/p>\n
