Website speed plays a vital role in boosting your traffic and revenue. On the web, site speed\u00a0is so important that fractions of a second can make the difference between a sale and a bad\u00a0customer experience. Other than hurting your revenue and annoying your customers, a slow\u00a0WordPress site will also damage your brand reputation.<\/p>\n

Your website is a business and just like any other business, it should be optimized to\u00a0achieve its maximum potential. In this article, we have composed a list of the latest ways to\u00a0make your WordPress faster. Read on to find out how you can get fast and efficient speed\u00a0for your WordPress site.<\/p>\n

1. Use good hosting such as VPS<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"vps\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Selecting the ideal hosting service depends on your performance demands, resource needs,\u00a0cost constraints, and other factors. At times, site owners can’t seem to make a choice\u00a0between VPS hosting and the less costly alternative: shared hosting.<\/p>\n

With shared hosting, your site shares the same server with other sites. Although it’s a\u00a0cheaper option, it comes with limited performance, bandwidth, and administration\u00a0capabilities. The sites using shared hosting share server resources meaning this service\u00a0offers limited resources for each site. All these limitations translate into a slow website.<\/p>\n

VPS hosting allows you to enjoy more resources. More resources and bandwidth will\u00a0obviously offer better overall performance. A VPS also gives you greater control over your\u00a0site’s performance factor.<\/p>\n

If you want to make your WordPress faster, choose VPS hosting. Check out this article about InMotion hosting, reviewing both shared and Linux VPS<\/a> hosting to decide which is best for you.<\/p>\n

2. Enable HTTP2 on your WordPress site<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

If you are a site owner, you are already familiar with HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol.) It\u00a0is the way a web page and a browser communicate so you probably use it every day.<\/p>\n

HTTP2<\/a> is the latest version of HTTP. It has been optimized to make your WordPress site\u00a0load faster. HTTP2 enhances your site’s performance 8without requiring any extra effort\u00a0from you. Before the HTTP2 version, site owners had to perform some hacks such as\u00a0combination and minification to make their sites faster. With HTTP2, these hacks are not\u00a0necessary as they have been built into the protocol itself.<\/p>\n

Other than being faster than the older HTTP1 version, HTTP2 have much speed\u00a0optimizations; giving you more control over your website.<\/p>\n

\"tcp\"<\/p>\n

3. Use the latest version of PHP 7+<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

At times, site owners fail to upgrade to the latest software versions either because they don’t\u00a0know a new version is available or fail to understand how beneficial an upgrade would\u00a0be. That’s why we still have site owners who haven’t upgraded to PHP 7+ to date.<\/p>\n

Compared to its predecessor (PHP 5.6), PHP<\/a> 7+ is a massive improvement. It offers some\u00a0amazing upgrades for your end users. PHP 7+ uses resources well, is faster and more\u00a0secure.<\/p>\n

PHP 7+ has such a huge performance boost that you will notice a performance increase of\u00a0about 50% after making the upgrade. Better site performance comes with an increase in site\u00a0speed.<\/p>\n

\"php_7-vs-php_5\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Use OpCache with PHP 7<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

OpCache is a powerful extension of PHP<\/a> which was specifically built to enhance PHP\u00a0performance. This boosts the application’s overall performance.<\/p>\n

PHP scripts are usually compiled at runtime, where some of the computing time is spent\u00a0converting the code. With OpCache, a calculation is performed once and the converted\u00a0script saved in a cache. Loading the pre-compiled script from the cache it’s saved in can\u00a0then be performed very fast. In most cases, OpCache increases the speed of websites\u00a0significantly.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, enabling OpCache in a large website allows the site to handle a large\u00a0a number of requests at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"opcache1\"<\/p>\n

5. Migrate to the latest version of MariaDB if you are still using\u00a0MySQL<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"maria\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since its development in 2009, MariaDB has replaced MySQL in many areas. Most site\u00a0owners have migrated their databases from MySQL to MariaDB over the past few years.<\/p>\n

MariaDB features numerous performance related improvements, including an improved\u00a0query optimizer. MariaDB is, therefore, faster than MySQL. Although the improvement in\u00a0performance is not that huge, faster is always better when it comes to the web since every\u00a0millisecond counts.<\/p>\n

MariaDB is also fully open and all its development<\/a> decisions can be reviewed or debated by\u00a0the public.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that Google includes load time in their ranking algorithm. The speed of your WordPress\u00a0site can mean the difference between becoming a successful website owner or joining a\u00a0myriad of failed websites. Fortunately, with these 5 latest ways to make your WordPress\u00a0faster, you will have great results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
