Ways of Improving the speed of the website

• In order to improve the speed of your website,
  you have to follow certain ways, which are
  specified below

1. Check the loading time of the website

• To proceed, you may examine the load times to
  determine the present state of things on your
  website.
• You may assess the performance of your website
  using a variety of internet tools, such as
• Google Page Speed
• GT Matrix
• Pingdom
• Web Page Test and so on
• A decent rule of thumb is that if the tool says
  your website loads in three seconds or less,
  you're in excellent shape.
• However, if it takes longer, it is worthwhile to
  investigate the underlying reason of the delay.
• It is however, recommended that you backup your
  website and database files before making any
  changes to your website.

2. Select the Appropriate Hosting Service
Provider

• If your website appears to be slowing down, it
  might be due to shared server space or your
  hosting provider.
• It is possible that the latter will be incapable
  of managing your content management system.
• While it is acceptable to use low-cost shared
  hosting at initially, once you begin getting
  traffic, you must ensure that your hosting scales
  meet the demands.
• However, the majority of web hosting companies
  offer a wide range of hosting services,
  including
• Cloud hosting
• Shared Hosting
• Dedicated Hosting
• VPS or Virtual Private Server
• WordPress Hosting
• It is also important to consider the server's
  location, since it has a significant influence on
  the website's page load time.
• The greater the distance between your server and
  the user asking to access your website, the
  larger the latency in the response.

3. Optimize your content

• It is vital to review your website content, which
  may or may not be appropriately optimized.
• In this context, optimization refers to images
  and media content.
• So, you can optimize your website content in the
  following ways
• Begin by compressing the images, without
  compromising on the quality. Fortunately, there
  are a plethora of image optimization website
  plugins available.
• Ensure that pictures are loaded directly to your
  server. This removes the need for multiple HTTP
  requests to load pictures from a different
  source.
• Use the picture size that is acceptable for your
  user's screen. Keep in mind that wasted pixels
  add weight to your page.

4. Evaluate for Unnecessary plugins and themes

• While plugins are a great way to make websites
  more functional and add features, however, there
  is such a thing as having too many plugins.
• Installing them on your website indiscriminately
  not only increases the potential of security
  concerns and conflicts, as well as the
  requirement for maintenance, but it may also
  cause your website to slow down.
• Many plugins increase the page weight and HTTP
  requests by adding extra style sheets and
  JavaScript files.
• Furthermore, if they are not correctly written,
  they may load these assets where they are not
  needed, sometimes on every page! So, if you want
  to speed up your website, you may remove them.

5. Make use of caching

• Caching, in general, refers to storing sections
  or the full of your website so that it may be
  accessed and loaded more quickly.
• It is the practice of storing regularly requested
  data locally, either on your server or in your
  web browser. Caching commonly visited data points
  on your local computer.
• So, depending on the server type, don't forget to
  cache. If you utilize Shared Hosting or Managed
  WordPress Hosting and your abilities are
  restricted, consider using browser caching.
• Website browsers use a cache, which lowers the
  frequency and amount of HTTP queries, allowing
  online pages to load even quicker.

6. Use a content delivery network

• If you are catering to a worldwide audience,
  there is an alternate approach to deal with
  latency and geographical concerns, which is
  content delivery networks.
• These are global networks of computers that have
  a copy of your website or at least its most
  significant static files.
• When it comes to speeding up your website,
  employing a CDN offers numerous advantages such
  as
• Users receive data from the nearest place to
  them. This lowers the distance and the
  possibility of delays and latency, increasing the
  page loading time.
• Instead of relying on a single server, server
  load might be spread over many servers. This
  lowers the likelihood of download rates slowing
  during peak traffic periods.

7. Optimizing database

• The majority of the advice in this guidebook is
  on enhancing the front end of your website. It is
  also crucial to examine what you can do on the
  backend to speed up your website.
• This is especially true when working with a
  database-driven content management system (CMS)
  like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal. On a frequent
  basis, the database must be optimized. This
  includes eliminating temporary disc space and
  clearing it of unnecessary data.
• This makes it leaner and allows it to respond
  more quickly.
• Furthermore, you may optimize the database using
  plugins on your WordPress website or manually
  using a database management tool.
