4. Go for Good Hosting Services

Your hosting company contributes to the speed of your website pages. If you choose the wrong hosting company, it will negatively impact your website performance. You must be careful to select a hosting company and the right package for the size of your website traffic. Without missing words, excellent hosting is one of those things I have enjoyed here at a wealthy affiliate.

5. Reduce Your Plugins to the barest minimum

    Plugins are a great treasure on WordPress websites but can also become a nuisance if not used properly. Installing unnecessary plugins will slow down the performance of your website. So, as a rule of thumb, ensure you load essential themes and plugins. Where you know that a plugin is of no use, delete it.

    I just did the Page Speed Insight for one of my articles. The result for the mobile is no good. It is showing red with a rating of 27.

    There are only 2 images I used in this article and both came from the Site Content Image library. All the images in the library should have been optimized by WA.

    I also have 2 YouTube Videos embedded inside the article.

    Any suggestion I can do to improve my mobile speed for this article?

    You have Kraken by default, that's an image optimizer, you can also use a3 lazy load plugin.

    Hi Thomas,

    Thank you for sharing your experience. While lazy loading is agood way to improve website speed.
    I advice you download the images and work on them.

    Its simple.

    Use the websites i pointed out in page 3 of this tutorial. They will help you reduce image size and also compress it.

    That way you will be sure your images are not too bulky. Then you can use the plugins adviced by abieAj to lazylaod.

    Another thing i will advice is to do a proper check on your website theme and plugins. Ensure you have only one theme installed. If you have more than one, delete all inactive theme and plugins.

    If you do this, your website speed should improve

    For which website are you seeing these speeds? This is likely the result of the images, plugins you may have and embedding Youtube videos is definitely going to slow down your website.

    Let me know and I can have a look here.

    Ayodeji, interesting. Just learned something new about two sites for image resizing and optimization. Thanks for the training about website speed. I agree too many plugins can make load slower.

    That is very good.

    All thanks to Jofa (https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/jofa). He mentioned them to me when I was struggling with image resizing and compression. They have been very helpful
