Your speed test report
will likely have many recommendations for improvement. However most of that is
technical jargon which is tough for beginners to understand.
However understanding
what slows behind your website is key to improving performance and making
smarter long-term decisions.
The primary causes for
a slow WordPress website are:
§ Web Hosting – after your web hosting server is not
properly configured it can hurt your website speed.
§ WordPress
Configuration – If your
WordPress site is not serving cached pages, then it will overload your server
thus causing your website to be slow or crash entirely.
§ Page Size – mostly images that aren’t optimized
for web.
§ Bad Plugins – If you’re using a poorly coded
plugin, then it can significantly slow down your website.
§ External scripts – External scripts such as ads, font
loaders, etc can also have a huge impact on your website performance.
Now that you know what
slows down your WordPress website, let’s get a look at how to speed up your
WordPress website.
