A fast site ranks better and keeps visitors. Here is how to speed up WordPress.

A video walkthrough for this guide is coming soon.

1. Start with fast hosting. Performance begins with your host.
2. Use a lightweight theme. Bloated themes slow everything down.
3. Add caching. A caching plugin serves pages far faster.
4. Optimise images. Compress and correctly size images before uploading.
5. Limit plugins. Remove anything you do not need.
