I Choose WordPress for blogs and news related. But my website load speed is very low, It takes higher time related to SEO friendliness This is my site althyper.com
I need To reduce time to make it SEO friendly Please give some suggestions
Thank you in advance

For example, to "Serve images in next-gen formats" I use a plugin called WebP Converter for Media. Also consider using plugin called Hummingbird for caching and compressing. But it seems you already get score of 100 for desktop. That's pretty good.
This is a loaded question. Did you create the website yourself? If so, you should be thinking about optimisation while you're developing.
If not, then you're going to have to rely on a combination of plugins, reliable hosting and common sense.
Some things to consider:
Find a plugin that offloads all local assets (images, JS files etc) to a CDN, and also minifies CSS and JS (WP Rocket might be the way to go).
Use a theme that supports lazy loading.
Use fast, reliable hosting (WP Engine for example).
Keep your database lean - don't keep thousands of revisions if you don't need them.
Disable all unnecessary plugins.
Edit your wp-config.php file to allow adequate PHP memory allowance, For example:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');
This should improve things. Take some benchmarks here, here and here before you do any of this so you have before/after values to compare.
Good luck.

I'm reviewing a WordPress website that has been running for four or five years. The website has a selection of WordPress plugins that they use to optimize the site's page speed, and I have a suspicion that they have just added multiple over time without thinking about the others. The plugins are the following:
Autoptimize: A plugin that concatenates scripts and styles and has some inline and defer CSS features. Good customization settings. Currently active on the site.
Smush Image Compression: Resizes and compresses most popular image formats for websites. Currently active.
Better WordPress Minify: Combines and minifies CSS and JS scripts. Active on the site but only used to minify JS files.
PageSpeed Ninja: Another compression and minification plugin. Is active on the site.
So recently I ran the site through Page Speed Insights and far and away the most recommended suggestion to help the page load faster was server response times. In WordPress they recommend removing unused plugins and I want to reduce the optimization tools down to ideally 2 plugins. I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions on possible pairings that might work (or have previously worked) well or whether it's just going to be easier to go through every plugin one by one, tinkering with the settings and running tests?
I am open to alternate plugins and strategies. Any wisdom would be appreciated.
A standard bag of tricks would be W3 Total Cache for optimising server response times via caching and minification of CSS and JS.
Smush is ok for image compression (although you will probably need premium for it to be completely useful) but a lot of the time you will find that a theme is not correctly configured to take full advantage of it (they don't offer different image sizes for different screen sizes).
I roll my own image optimiser that does everything locally but most people seem to say that EWWW Image Optimizer gives the most flexibility for free. not a personal recommendation.
You only really need the W3 Total Cache plugin and an image optimiser, beyond that you are into actually learning how to optimise a site properly as all of the other plugins tend to make a mess.
How to reduce ttfb time ?
my wordpress site has very long ttfb time.
i tested result several time and result absolutely confuse me sometimes is lower than 200ms sometimes more than 5s !
what is the problem ?
network configuration or server side scripts ? or something else ?
It is not really a Wordpress specific problem as all websites should try to have a ttfb time as little as possible.
Generally speaking when you use a tool like Google page Speed or PingDom (to name a few), you should get some advices on how to improve your ttfb time.
Like using a cache system, compress and regroup JS/CSS files, reduce images size, using a CDN, etc...
Now on Wordpress ecosystem, you have a lot of plugins what can help you with that (especially if you're not a developper).
Here is a list of some I know and have already used that may help you:
W3 Total Cache (caching plugin) - A good free solution for setting a cache system on your WP (realivelly complicated to handle though)
WP Rocket (caching plugin) - an excellent non-free solution. Work pretty well (much easier to handle than W3 Total Cache). Affordable.
Imagify (image compression plugin) - this plugin re-compress and optimize you medias. It is developped by the same company as WP Rocket, you need to create an account on there service to use it. And they have a free plan.
In any case, if you're not a developper, I encourage you to get help from one because some caching options can produce unwanted effects like a JS component that doesn't work anymore of stuff like that so you need to test if your website still works each time you make a change.
Note: long ttfb time can also be related to the server itself (mutualized one for example).
Hope it help.
On an Ubuntu 18.04 Machine With Apache2,
I'm using mod_pagespeed with default settings except 2 options.
I've installed memcached and enabled the following in "/etc/apache2/mods-available/pagespeed.conf" by removing "#"
ModPagespeedMemcachedServers localhost:11211
ModPagespeedCreateSharedMemoryMetadataCache "/var/cache/mod_pagespeed/" 51200
My question is, do I still need a plugin e.g. Autoptimize, W3TC, WP Super Cache and etc. to cache, minify etc. etc.?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Cache Plugins in general:
Like alway the world is divided into those who love them and those who curse them.
Ask yourself, if you should use them?
Is there any benefit for your page?
That depends on the page. Noone can decide that for you.
Helpful are some seo tools - e.g. Google PageSpeed.
Disable all cache plugins and check your page speed.
Sometimes a page is blown up with many plugins generating tons of code (sad to say not rare duplicated and included twice or more times).
Check your plugins and also check your page (frontend) with the developer tools.
Mostly there are many loads you do not really need.
You mentioned
minify etc.
You can do that by yourself (e.g. with Brackets and the minifier plugin or online on mifier pages).
Even the includes for most of the plugins can be minified.
The intention:
Check your page and optimize it. If it not really needs the cache plugins for some functionallity or an high increase of page speed - why use them?
I did all the things Like image optimization, rendering for page speed optimization. I checked my mobile page speed increasing but desktop page speed not increasing it's still 22 again and again. I want to know why I am facing this problem. My website is www.sagorkhan.com. Can anyone please help me?

There are many factors that could affect your page speed and actually I see you've done a good job so far but you may go a litter farther.
I've tested your site with google page speed, pingdom tool, gtmetrix, webpagetest and here is my conclusion:
I guess your problem is about how to reduce server response time. While testing your site, it took more than 3+ seconds (6 on webpagetest) to completely load which may be considered a huge time. Reduce the server response time is not an easy task and could be a real challenge but here is a few tips:
1. Images optimization:
You said that you've done image optimization but still, your site have some huge images, one of them for example, is about 1MB which is can really affect the server response time. These images can be easily optimized, just go to google page speed and after you test your site scroll down and find: Download optimized image, JavaScript, and CSS resources for this page. Download the zip file and try to replace the old images with optimized ones using any FTP client, FileZilla is more then good for that.
Note that you can find the images locations under Optimize images section in case you don't know the location. Repeat that step again to make sure all your images are optimized.
Also I'd recommend some plugins like wp-smushit for optimize and compress all of your images and Regenerate Thumbnails to fix Serve scaled images issue. tinypng is good online alternative too if you like to do it manually.
2. Optimize CSS Delivery
That's not easy actually because it may requires to optimize the code and structure of your theme but you can give Autoptimize or W3 Total cache a try. Both support combining and minifying all enqueued JS, and CSS files.
3. CDNs:
CDN can really accelerate your site and greatly reducing your page loading time. Now, there are tons of good CDNs providers but I would recommend CloudFlare as a start since its free and easy to use and their free plan is enough and does work really great.
4. Caching
WordPress caching is a must if you care about performance, I don't see any sign of caching plugins except your HTML, JavaScript, css files is minified already which is good but not enough. I would recommend W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache.
5. Web Hosting
If you're hosing your site in a shared host, don't hope too much to get perfect page speed even if you done all the required optimization. I'd definitely recommend upgrading to a VPS since its kinda cheap (unmanaged servers can be cheaper then shared host) and not that hard to setup and secure, A small VPS server can have a significant impact on page load speed.
You are resizing massive images using HTML/CSS when you should be resizing them individually using Photoshop or a similar image editing tool. You have a lot of render blocking js, specifically they're the YouTube scripts you're running.
Another big issue is the sheer amount of stylesheet and js files you're loading -- 19 js and 13 css. Try combining your js files together as much as you can, as well as your css files ... you're going to want to minify them as well.
You're loading many components from various sources, adding more http request overhead. If it's possible, you should consider hosting your own copies of some files.
Take a look at the output from https://gtmetrix.com/reports/sagorkhan.com/cBTMzOjD ... that should get you on the road to optimizing. Make sure you take your time reading the pagespeed and yslow tabs.
We purchased a WP theme and did some customized changes in php and html
to bring the design where we wanted...
We are almost done with the design of the website and construction
and we are about to deliver to client
but for some reason the website is responding very slow on the first visitor..
and we cannot find the problem, what conflicts with what..
Are there any WP experts in here that could have a look and maybe identify the problem..?
Thank you in advance..

Enable gzip compression
Leverage browser caching
Optimize images
Defer parsing of JavaScript
Minify CSS, JS
Analyze your site using GTmetrix and Google PageSpeed Insight, and follow the recommendations that you get from this systems.
It's not that slow? I can get a directory listing from your wp-includes directory just fine. Joking aside, looks like there are two different versions of jquery being loaded in, that's never good for things (view source, line:435) and the homepage makes about 179 requests which is a bit bonkers.
Try a caching plugin. As others have said better configured hosting helps, especially those that use caching technologies such as varnish/redis. A CDN will help with geographic speed. Compress images with WP Smush or similar. Good luck!
There could be multiple issues behind a slow wp website:
Using multiple plugins can slow down a wp website.
A poor web server that is not able to respond quickly.
Some configuration issues.
What i can see is that your website is resource intensive, CSS and JS script files are too heavy, even heavier than all images on the home page.
Try:
Minify the css and js files.
Compress images and the size would come down to less than 1 mb (use tinypng.com)
Use Google page speed to see the flow of the resources of your website and other related details.
Hope this helps.
