Connects to tips to make WordPress site faster

Have you ever waited a few seconds to see a site open the front page? Nowadays we no longer have patience, much less time with sites that take time to load. Isn't that right? The logical thing is that everything always happens very fluidly and quickly. O uploading your website is one of the most important factors for it to succeed, not to mention that Google master is watching this performance.

Let's give you some tips for that. creation and development of site in WordPress be quick:

1. Disable unnecessary plugins and use cache plugins

If misused or even configured wrongly, they may compromise the performance of the site. This usually occurs in two ways: plug-ins activated without need and/or misdeveloped. Disable those that there is no need for use and install only those that are reliable. It is worth noting that cache plugin is one of the first that you should install. With this, you will avoid the need for your server to send the same information repeatedly. This is the fastest and most permanent solution you can put in place to speed up your site.

2. Use a CDN

If your site has a global coverage, CDN is critical for performance gain. That is, if you want to reach people located in distant locations, then CDN will ensure that you deliver speeds in the faster loading for each visitor, regardless of where they are located.

3. Make it as simple and as direct as possible, remove excessive elements

See if it's possible to summarize the content by eliminating images (mainly in large formats and optimize them), videos and unnecessary blocks, disabling widgets will help a lot. Less elements result in more loading speed, always think about it. At the end ask yourself: will this page need all this information? Think of ways to create a more minimal and rationalized experience with fewer animations, images or even widgets.

4. Optimize heavy images

As I mentioned above, the site may have a significant gain with image optimization. 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and 1.5 JPEG file MB size, resized to 600 x 338 pixels, appears smaller on screen, but occupies the same space as before (1.5 MB). Avoid this to make the site lighter. Edit the file with some image editing program (Photoshop helps for web images), edit it for the resolution you want and save with a smaller definition before placing it on the site. This same file would reach 130 KB (sometimes smaller than the original), without significant loss of quality.

5. Be careful with misdeveloped themes

There are hundreds or even thousands of WordPress themes available on the web, some free and others paid. The problem, most of the time, is their low quality. One can find poorly developed themes, with code failures, which make them slow and unfunctional. A NVX seeks to develop exclusive themes for WordPress for each client, focusing on performance but elving into aesthetics.

The way the site is developed has a direct influence on the speed of the site. The solution is to seek premium themes, developed by trusted professionals or to seek to develop an exclusive theme.

6. Choose a server that meets your needs

It will be of no use to everyone to be careful in front-end and back-end development if the server on which your site is hosted does not meet your needs or is missized. Making the right choice is essential to ensure good performance of the site, be aware how they will support, you may need it. Before hiring a host, search the plans and customer reviews. Ideal is to hire a performance-focused host because WordPress requires certain knowledge to function fluidly and quickly. Traditional hosts in most cases leave to be desired!

RESUMING...
