Hello all, I have a wordpress blog on a vps,

however the site speed is not too great, I have tried numerous things such as optimize plugins for wordpress regarding CSS, js and html, caching plugins, image optimisation plugins and also cloudflares cdn.

have read multiple guides on best configuration settings for all of the plugins...however I still seem to have average site speed.

I have also tried to configure gzip and all other tweaks for my cdn to improve speed but no luck.

I have very little knowledge on how to manually fix the issues when going over most gtmetrics and google page speed analytics, hence the use of plugins and cdn.

Could anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Wordpress is slow, if you put plugins in to it and a big fancy theme, it will get more slow.
This is not a problem with your VPS, either change your CMS or kik a few not really important plugins out.
 
what the speed of the server used and line speed .

speed not just plugins

what core is the server
what ram is the server
what os is the server
what chip is used on the server .

answw everythunk we can advise .
 
Only two things from my side:
- you could add fontawesome to the cache settings of your Webserver (guess that 1day would be enough)
- you could try to use nginx instead of Apache

The problem the initial load time (0,79 seconds until server response). Don‘t know whether it is the connection or location of your vps.
 
At this time your website is loading just fine.

I find the 1.5s loading of inner page just perfect.

If you are not satisfied with loading speed then try changing theme or remove plugins which are not important. Try to use something like tinypng or something to compress those images. Might save you some of the loading time.
Good Luck!
 
Reduce the number of plugins that you are using. Don't let Wordpress get bloated.
 
You can try adding a cache plugin that could improve the speed in the process.
But if you have control over your web hosting, you can enable site compression over the WHM which would send your entire website in a compressed form to your web browsers, and it does reduce CPU usage and site loading speed as well, based on my experience.
And if you specifically want to increase speed for your mobile pages, try installing the AMP plugin.

Have you tried Super wp cache?
 
You should know where the delay is coming from? where most loading time is wasted?

I believe you may know about this https://tools.pingdom.com/ it will give you analysis on the time, so you know where to fix.
 
Video explanation. Not typing it all out.

 
I also had the same problem with a theme. I used Divi and a shared hosting.

I thought the problem was with my hosting so I purchased a Cloud VPS from Vultr. Nothing changed, not a bit.

The problem was with using a lot of plugins, and actually not having the images uploaded on my server.

Hope this makes sense, if you didn't find the issue yet. PM me I can probably help.

Thanks
 
5 Tips To Boost Page Speed
1. Optimize Your Database Most sites use databases to store information. If you have an e-commerce store, blog, news site, or any type of dynamic functionality like internal search, then you are using a database. However, your database can impact your page speed.
2. While tracking codes are vital for analyzing user behavior onsite, marketers should review each analytics program and determine which is necessary. Remember, simplicity is key . Every time you add another tracking code to your page, it slows it down.
3. Use Caching When Available When you visit a web page for the first time, your browser needs to request all the images, text, scripts, etc. from the website’s server.
4. Content Delivery Networks Imagine that your website’s server is located physically in Texas. Your site should load quickly for residents there because its data need only travel a short distance from the server to their computer
5. The Most Important Page Speed Tool Within Google Webmaster Tools you now have access to “ PageSpeed Insights .” This tool analyzes a given URL’s page load speed, and gives you tips on how to make improvements.
 
#1 Use a caching plugin
#2 Add Expires headers to leverage browser caching
#3 Compress your images
#4 Compress your website with gzip
#5 Fix all broken links
#6 Reducing Your redirects
#7 Minify your CSS and JS files
#8 Switch off all plugins you don’t use
