Finding Ways to Speed Up Your Website

DCurtis76

Published on May 9, 2017

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Several people have been writing about the Google Speed Test tool within the WA community. It's really a good tool to identify how your website is performing in various areas. They also give some suggestions on how to address your websites 'problem areas', but those suggestions can be somewhat technical in nature.

When I first used this tool to test my website, the ratings were dismal - to say the least. So I set out to find simple ways to quickly improve my site speed, and now I'm over 85 in all areas. (I started out below 40!)

If you're interested in knowing what I did, read the post I added to my blog below and scroll down to the section that says 'How to Improve Website Performance in WordPress". I covered all of the tools and plugins I used to significantly improve my site speed - and they're easy fixes. Good luck!
