Make WordPress Load Faster: the home page is fine and one

Make wordpress load faster starts with a real fault on the site you have. The usual one is this: the home page is fine and one landing page takes ten seconds.

A specific fault, not a slogan

• The home page is fine and one landing page takes ten seconds
• The host is on an old PHP version
• A slider or page builder loads a pile of scripts on every URL
• The site is fast in the office and slow from a phone

What gets checked

A slow WordPress site is usually a few heavy pages, a plugin on every request, or images that were never resized. We time the slow URL before we add another cache plugin.

• The plugin list, including what loads in the header
• The URL that is actually slow, measured more than once
• The query or remote call that dominates the slow request
• Whether a cache plugin is already installed and mis-set

What you can send first

We measure the slow URL before we install anything. The time is usually in one plugin, one query, one set of images, or a PHP version the host left behind.

The first fix is the largest of those, not a stack of cache plugins. Caching comes after the page is doing less work, and only if it will not mix up carts or logins.

If you are outside Toronto, the call is the same. We say what we found and what the work is before we change the site.
