If you are one of those people who has become constantly frustrated with getting a good score with Web Performance Analysis Tools such as: Google Page Speed Insights, GTmetrix, Pingdom Tools, or Yslow, and have been worried about your site's overall loading speed/page communication performance then you are definitely in the right place. After doing a bit of research, I finally found the right combination that works for pretty much any theme/template with WordPress, and I am more than delighted to share this information with you guys since I have noticed that quite a bit of people have been wondering about how to optimize their site efficiently. So anyways, here is the ultimate plugin that I personally found which will aid with this issue. The plugin is called:

"Speed Booster Pack." This plugin was actually devised to increase your page loading speeds and to aid you in getting a better rating with sites like GTmetrix which uses Google Page Speed and YSlow.

Practically EVERY issue dealing with Minification, Render Blocking, Browser Cache Leveraging, and Server Response Latencies can be solved with this plugin. There is even a video tutorial for the configuration of the settings for Speed Booster Pack found on the plugin's homepage: https://wordpress.org/plugins/speed-booster-pack/. Also, if you want direct access to the video only, here is the video URL:

There is also a documentation for the plugin which you can find here: http://tiguandesign.com/docs/speed-booster/

Besides this, here are some other recommendations found within the documentation of URL link of the plugin, paraphrased by me:

"Other recommendations and best practices to boost your site's loading speed":
  • Make sure you pick the right host. I personally use DreamHost, but here is an article that might help you decide what host is best for you: Choose the Right Web Hosting
  • Activate Compression on your site – Your pages will load faster, and you'll be using a lot less bandwidth.
  • Use W3 Total Cache plugin – As a minimum configuration, it is recommended that you only enable the full page and browser caching options.
  • Use EWW Image Optimizer plugin – Shorten image file sizes and improve performance so your pages will load faster.
  • Use P3 Plugin Profiler to see which plugins are taking the toll on your site's performance. Make sure that all your plugins are coded properly. If they are not "P3 Plugin Profiler" should outline that info for you.
  • Regenerate Thumbnail . Regenerate Thumbnail will help optimize your images even more. This will also help out a ton with your site's load speed.
  • If your using Google Ads , you need to add the “async” mode for your ads. This will help you score better with the site performance tools.

Good Luck Guys! Please let me know if this helped, I know it does for most people :)
