How to Speed Up WordPress In 2019
You want your website to load fast? This tutorial is how to do it.
In 45 minutes, you will learn how to identify exactly what is actually slowing your site down, and then learn how to fix it.
Skip the caching & minification plugins. Most of the time, they do nothing. This should be handled at the server level anyway if you are on a modern host. Instead of wasting $99 on a caching plugin that simply compresses the garbage on your site (something your host probably already does) – identify and eliminate it using the steps in the tutorial above.
The primary reasons sites are slow is:
1. You are loading a bunch of scripts and styles from various plugins on pages where they are not necessary.
2. You have excessively large image files.
3. You are on a bad web hosting provider that isn’t delivering your page to the visitor quickly.
This tutorial works for any WordPress website – not just a site built with Oxygen. Yes, Oxygen is more lightweight and on a good modern host, all other things being equal, it will always be faster than something like Divi, Elementor, Beaver Builder, etc. But you can still gain significant speed increases using if you are using Beaver Builder, Elementor, or Divi by following the steps in this tutorial.
