[Guide] Incredibly easy and effective wordpress site speed optimization

sparkh said:

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

• Wp Supercache
• Phastpress

Cache and minification
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

I got a slight improvement on desktop. Thank you. My mobile score is still pretty piss poor. I don't like how much the results vary if you run it again and again. Also why can't wordpress make webp easy to use... :')
