Woow that's really worked perfectly like magic!Optimizing a wordpress site can be a nightmare for many, especially newbies. But power of wordpress is in it’s community and the many free and awesome plugins you can use. Today I will tell you how you can get A grade in this straightforward guide!
Plugin needed
Cache and minification
- Wp Supercache
- Phastpress
We will use Wp supercache for caching database requests but you must also enable file minification.
It’s free and easy to setup. I never touch any configurations, usually I just install and activate cache in settings.
Used for:
- Page caching
- Page compression/minification
Page Optimization
Here's my secret, it's called PhastPress! This plugin is insane, you have just to install it and activate it with a click! It covers every page optimization possible and you need just one click to activate it!
Used for:
- Image optimization
- Asynchronous scripts and stylesheets
Test on my website
I totally disabled all caching and optimizations on site and checked site without Defer style option in Phastpress in the first two > 22 / 49
I activated the two plugins with two clicks and checked again the score of my website on PageSpeed > 63 / 97
Let me know if you tried it and leave a thanks if the content was helpful and you want more tutorials from me

What I usually like to do is install perfmatters and optimize each page separately by deactivating certain thing that load but the page doesn't need.
This with WP rocket and I usually get 90 score for phone and PC on insights.
