How to Boost Your WordPress Website Speed to 95+ (Without Premium Plugins)
-
I'm reaching out for some advice on improving my WordPress website's speed. I'm currently using a free theme for this fusion magazine and aiming for a score of 95+ on Google PageSpeed Insights. I'm aware that premium plugins can significantly enhance performance, but I'm hoping to achieve similar results using primarily free solutions and manual optimizations.

Use LiteSpeed cache free version for speed optimization. Upload images in webp format. If possible, host images on a subdomain. Could you check this website as a sample?

@mohammadrehanseo Hello Friend!
In my observation and results now I only use the LiteSpeed cache plugin to increase the speed as LiteSpeed cache plugin has updated its features and more user-friendly interface you have to choose the pre-written template to increase the speed you can check one by one all the template to increase speed.

@mohammadrehanseo I am eager to tell you that WordPress speed optimization is my profession. So you may just focus on this list and forget about the rest. You should consider the following:
- HTML caching on the CDN (not only the host)
- Redesign or rethink about the main thread of work (JavaScript execution)
- rearrange the ATF objects and dont lazy load if image or video and don't use web fonts if paragraph or any kind of text.
- Extract the Critical Path CSS style definitions and put it into the head section and request for the rest as a separate external CSS file
- configure asset caching

I tried very hard to work on climateretrofit.co.uk for page speed especially by minimizing the and using webp images but still performance is very very bad and webpage loading time is very high. Additionally DA is very low, i am working on this website almost from 2 years but still not very satisfied. What should I do?
-
@mohammadrehanseo I just analyzed your site:
Desktop score is OK, mobile one needs some work.
Here is what I would do based on my optimization experience and what PageSpeed Insights for your site are suggesting:
- Install a free caching plugin, I've heard a free module Cache Enabled from KeyCDN is OK, just google for alternatives
- Move Javascript to the bottom to improve Start Render Time, there are free plugins for it
- Convert images to WebP and AVIF formats for lower weight. Use picture HTML5 tag to fallback to png or jpeg for browsers that don't support WebP/AVIF
- Use bigger TTL (about a year) for static content
-
@mohammadrehanseo You can use the LiteSpeed cache free plugin for speed optimization and no need to buy premium. I am also using it on a site FIFA 23 for Android and it's working well.

Old Blogs
We have several blogs on our site for a range of products we no longer stock. Would you set up a redirect for these - and how long would you keep it in place?

My website is constantly decreasing
For few weeks ago my website is constantly decreasing in search position. I lost keywords and is gooooing down.
Technical SEO | | Dan_Tala
Although it is well rated on several on page and off page seo verification software that I have tried.
I checked Google search console and Analytics and found no major problems. However… from one day to another it keeps going down.
I also checked what the main competitors are doing and they are not doing well, at all.
The main competitor actually has a creepy website. Totally devoid of onpage or offpage SEO but with an enormous number of backlinks. And of a very bad quality, which should disqualify it, still…
Few weeks ago I changed something.
In the pages I had H1, 4xH2, no H3 and an H4 without content.
An unnatural H tag structure.
Now I have H1, H2, H3, 3xH4, with the coherent information.
Theoretically, Google should have been “happy” or I’m missing something. I use a SAAS platform.
I just found out that they made changes to the keywords (tags).
I am selling toner cartridges for printers.
So…
The tags are printer models and generate a url in which they have the products.
Ex. https://www.sertit.ro/cartus-imprimanta-cilindru-color-hp-laserjet-pro-m-177fw goes to the products for that printer model.
The question is… should I make tag canonical?
Is it possible for products to loose so much in Google search?0 -

Domain Structure - without www.
I'm working on a new project and we would prefer to not use the www. - for name/branding reasons. Are there any SEO ramifications from setting the domain without the www and using 301 redirects for all home page extensions to forward to -> domain.com(without the www)? Furthermore, we will be hosting many profiles on this site and would like to structure them for optimal SEO. Would there be an issue with using sub domains - user.domain.com, or would sub directories be more optimal? Thank you in advance!
