I'm using WP Super Cache as the hosting recommends.
I guess that WP Super Cache creates a cached file the first time somebody visit a page of the website. I want to cach all the files at once, so my idea is to open all the pages of the site.
I wonder if I download the entire website with wget, all the pages will be cached.
WP Super Cache has a "preload" mode which you can find under it's settings. It's exactly what your searching for and does what you say it does, it simply "simulates" a page visit.

I am trying to optimize a WordPress website. I already minified some js and CSS files. I already tried compressing images and videos and trying to eliminate render-blocking files but the website speed is just the same.
The issue that I found on the website is that it has files that are too long and even I enabled caching, some files are not being cached.
Any information or website that will be helpful to optimize the website?
First of all, take a backup of your site manually
Go to public_html and compress all the files
After that export a copy of the database by phpMyAdmin
Then you can perform the following steps:
Clean the database where there is a lot of data that could be cached You can do this with several plugins (I recommend :WP-Optimize - Cache, Clean, Compress)
After you clean and optimize the database, deactivate this plugin and install the WP Fastest Cache plugin
Include the following options (note that you must turn off any other speed booster plug-ins because including more than one speed plugin can cause negative interference):
-cach system
-preload
-logged-in Users
-Minify HTML
-Gzip
-Drowser caching
-Disable Emojis
*Notice:
preload
Enable – This tells the plugin to preload your pages. Upon firing, you'll get a popup asking you which pages to cache.
Check all the categories – Particularly Home
page, Posts, Categories, Pages
Leave the “pages per minute” at 4
You may need to reduce this number depending on your hosting provider limits.
Leave the “Restart After Completed” option unchecked.*
After you do that, compress the images with any compression plugin (i use smush)

I have benefited a lot from it on my personal site and it has reached 96% speed because of these tips
You need to follow the following instructions:
take a backup of your file.
Install a cache plugin like as [https://wp-rocket.me/[1]
minify css,html,js of your wordpress file
This plugin is working fine.
I have used the plugin All-in-One WP Migration to get the site from the development environment to the live site (you can export and import a complete website).
Some pages have updated correctly but not all of the pages (they remain in the old style and structure).
I have deleted my browser cache several times (tried several browsers on different computers even), deleted caches created by plugins several times (tried deactivating those plugins as well). However, despite trying to delete all the caches I can think of, some pages are just not updating. As the page templates for these pages do not exist anymore on the server, I am at a complete loss as to what's preventing all the pages from updating correctly.
What am I missing?
May I ask is your site already live? Cause I had the same issue as yours and I manage to get it updated by deleting the cache by "Flush Cache" on my WordPress admin page
Once you logged in to your WordPress admin site you'll find this and click that
Flush Cache
Flush Cache (2)
I am not so sure why that happens but I am thinking it might be because from the server and might need sometime on updating any changes made. It happened to me also when I have some updates on my site then once I save everything and go to my site, still the old ones are being shown but when I Flush Cache then it shows up the new ones... I think the reason because it still shows up the old ones is probably of the cache from the old ones in the server and by flushing them is being able to show the updated ones.
One of the websites I am working on is running the last version of Wordpress and a Qode Theme from themeforest.
I hired a Fiver website speed optimization specialist however, after he was done, certain parts of the site would not load properly anymore.
Example 1: https://www.sweetsmilingsoul.com/book-a-discovery-call/ - the Calendly plugin only loads when refreshing the site
Example 2: https://www.sweetsmilingsoul.com/ the instagram plugin (FeedThemSocial) does not load with every page visit.
I am guessing it is a caching plugin. I have uninstalled all the caching plugins the Fiver guy installed but the problem still persists.
Both of the links work fine and the plugins are loading right away. Clear your browser cache and if you have Cloudflare enabled clear the cache from there.You could also ask him what he/she has done, check if something is cached through .htacces or just restore your website to a backup
I have a local wordpress backup which is a copy of the main dir from the previous webhost.
I runned the site using wampserver but when I tried to open the index page it said: "Error establishing a database connection".
I think this is because the database is not imported in phpMyAdmin. How can I make this work so I can access the site?
The WordPress database stores all of the site content - Posts, Pages, custom post types, images, and so forth. Unless you have a copy of the database, the files you have will only be useful for setting up the same plugins and theme that were being used on the old host.
There may be a couple of ways to restore your lost content:
Check Wayback Machine - if it's a larger site it may be indexed here, and you can go through page by page and rebuild.
Check Google's cache - if the site was only recently removed from the old webhost, the individual pages may be cached for a time. It would be wise to download as "complete webpage" each page and then go through page by page and rebuild. Same with images - if they've only recently been removed, you may be able to find (possibly lower-resolution) cached versions and download them. To check, do a Google search for site:http://example.com (replace with your URL).
If neither of these exist, you'll need to start from scratch on the content, but you'll have learned a valuable lesson about backing up. :)
So I built this client a WordPress site and after if was completed and paid for he decided he didn't like his domain name. So he logged into HostGator and then bought/transferred to a new domain.
Then a day later he calls and wonders why his page isn't loading. I'm able to go into the FTP and save all the wp-content and every file that was originally there... My question is how do I get the WordPress site I built onto the new domain name?
I've read all kinds of tutorials about how to export/import but they require the site you're transferring from to be live.. I can't log into the wp-admin portion because it looks like the domain does not exist anymore.
I'm definitely not a back-end guy.. I've build a few sites off line with xamp but i have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to trying to salvage this site. Any help?
WordPress is flexible to handle situations like moving to another server. First back up your WordPress directory, images, plugins, and other files on your site as well as the database. The detailed steps on how to do it is well documented in the website https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress.
