Optimization Checklist 2023

Hey there, have you ever visited a website that took ages to load or even failed to load?

experience, leave a poor first impression, and even result in a loss of conversions.

But don’t worry, I’ve got your back! I’ve created the ultimate WordPress speed
optimization checklist to help you speed up your site and enhance your visitors’
experience. And trust me, it’s going to be super easy to follow.

The checklist is split into two parts, making it easy for you to apply the optimizations that
matter most.

The Ultimate WordPress Speed Optimization Checklist 2023 1


So let’s get started with the first part of the checklist and make your site lightning-fast!

Part 1: Core Optimization for Faster


WordPress
In the first part, we’ll cover the most impactful optimizations that can significantly
improve your site’s loading speed. By following the first part alone, you’ll see a
noticeable improvement in your site’s performance.

Choose a fast and reliable WordPress hosting provider, think of it as the engine of
your car, it doesn’t matter if your car has the best aerodynamic design but with a
slow and outdated engine.

Use content delivery network (CDN), it will helps your visitors to load your website
content from the nearest server from them, reduce the latency and have super fast
time-to-first-byte (TTFB).

Optimize your media files, for example compress and convert your images to next-
gen image file type such as WebP (Which is already supported by most modern
browsers)

Leverage caching system and reduce the need to generate the same static page
content for each visitors every single time.

Use web application firewall (WAF) instead of security plugins that are inefficient
and resources hungry

Use a lightweight and optimized WordPress theme, avoid using outdated themes
that are not build with performance in mind.

Remove bloated and unused plugins, you don’t need all-in-one plugin just to use
one of its feature, but that loads multiple unused JavaScript file to your visitors.

Part 2: In-depth Tweaks for Peak


Performance
In the second part, we’ll dive deeper into fine-tuning your site and getting the best
possible performance. Sounds great, right?

Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files to reduce their file size and make them load
faster.

Use lazy loading for images and videos to improve page load times by only loading
the content when the user scrolls down to it.

Optimize your WordPress database by removing unused data, optimizing tables,


and scheduling regular cleanups.

Utilize a content delivery network (CDN) for serving static assets like images,
videos, and other static files.

Enable Gzip or Brotli compression to reduce file sizes and speed up page load
times.

Utilize browser caching to reduce the time it takes for pages to load by storing
frequently accessed files locally on users’ devices.

Minimize HTTP requests by combining CSS and JavaScript files, reducing the
number of external resources needed to render a page.

Utilize HTTP/2 protocol to improve server speed and reduce page load times.

Reduce the number of externally loaded plugin, such as Google tag manager with
10s of tag fired on every visits.

Use an optimization plugin, such as Perfmatters to disable unwanted features on


your WordPress site.

Setup Redis object cache to improve the speed of your WordPress backend

The Ultimate WordPress Speed Optimization Checklist 2023 3


Optimize your website’s CSS by reducing its file size, using CSS sprites, and
minimizing the use of inline styles.

Optimize your website’s JavaScript by reducing its file size, using asynchronous
loading, and minimizing the use of inline scripts.

Use a website monitoring tool to track your website’s performance and identify
areas for improvement.

Remember not all of these optimizations may be necessary for your particular site, so
prioritize based on your specific needs and goals.
