Website:
I use Wordpress with the Bimber Theme (https://themeforest.net/item/bimber-viral-buzz-wordpress-theme/14493994) (Main) together with a custom post template that I coded because I don't like the Bimber default post templates for quizzes.
I also removed all unnecessary theme plugins like Snax, Easy Social Share Buttons, Photomix, What's Your Reaction? etc. in order to save performance and keep it simple.
I replaced the Easy Social Share Buttons plugin with this custom code (https://crunchify.com/how-to-create...pt-loading-wordpress-speed-optimization-goal/).
For speed I use the recommended plugins from the Bimber docs:
- Autoptimize (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/) + Async JavaScript (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/async-javascript/)
- WP Super Cache (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/)
In addition to that, I use the Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster plugin (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/) to exclude loading scripts and styles from posts/pages that I don't need which enormous boosts the performance because Bimber is a heavy theme with a lot of features and you don't need to load everything everywhere.
I told my hoster to upgrade the shared server and they switched my domain to a new one for this project for freeRunning on Ubuntu 18, PHP 7.2 / MySQL 5.7, and Apache 2.4 (http/2, OPcache support). TTFB is under 200ms and the performance is really great.
The results:
![]()
![]()
![]()
Screenshots show one quiz page with images and text.
Maybe later I will purchase WP Rocket (https://wp-rocket.me/), because of the automated critical CSS feature to get pagespeed mobile to 100 as well.
So, there is this guy who started a journey about 4 months ago and in the first post his website speed seems very impressive. Unfortunately the last time he posted in the thread was in the beginning in May and he posted that he is very sick. If you look at his profile you can see that he last logined on June 22. I already PMed him but he didnt response. So I think maybe something happened to him... I hope he is fine though.
So how can you build a wordpress website with the bimber theme which is super fast like his?
