Many things are wrong in article.

First of all, recommendation about Cloudflare and minifying plugins. As a developer, I want to kill people who make such recommendation. because I have tons of support after this. Cloudflare usually has also rocket load extension which compress js files. If you will use it with other minifying plugins - this breaks all js on site in 90%

Changing to nginx is good suggestion, but you will have many troubles after this if you don't have enough skills to prevent them

compressor.io is a good website to compress images. you'd be surprised how small an image file size can get without reducing its quality.

It loads a hell lot faster too.

Imho the most important steps:

WP-internal:
W3total cache plugin

Offline:
Image optimization: RIOT tool,

Server-side:
php7, different caching methods, .htaccess if you are familiar

I have actually seen many errors results on several of my sites using Cloudflare. Quite honestly, I felt that it was hurting my sites more than it was helping them. So I disabled it. I also did a fair amount of research around the web and found a lot of people complaining about Cloudflare. Perhaps it works for some people, but I just haven't seen the benefits. Seems like my sites perform better without Cloudflare - at least from what I've seen on my end e.g. less outages, faster load times, less error messages, etc.
