But CDN resolves this issue by utilizing a large number of data centers in the world.

- 9. 3) Properly install cache plugin Installing a cache plugin to your WordPress site makes your site faster. For this, you can install W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache or WP Fastest cache. Cache plugins publish static HTML files rather than dynamic files. It reduces server access for static resources, MySQL database access, HTTP requests and a no. of PHP requests.
