How to Boost Your WordPress Website Speed to 95+ (Without Premium Plugins)
-
I'm reaching out for some advice on improving my WordPress website's speed. I'm currently using a free theme for this fusion magazine and aiming for a score of 95+ on Google PageSpeed Insights. I'm aware that premium plugins can significantly enhance performance, but I'm hoping to achieve similar results using primarily free solutions and manual optimizations.

Use LiteSpeed cache free version for speed optimization. Upload images in webp format. If possible, host images on a subdomain. Could you check this website as a sample?

@mohammadrehanseo Hello Friend!
In my observation and results now I only use the LiteSpeed cache plugin to increase the speed as LiteSpeed cache plugin has updated its features and more user-friendly interface you have to choose the pre-written template to increase the speed you can check one by one all the template to increase speed. I have increased my speed from 55 to 99 on my two websites you can check them if you want and you can also take my help if you want here these are my two websiteThis is one of the most easy method to increase the speed I have ever used

@mohammadrehanseo I am eager to tell you that WordPress speed optimization is my profession. So you may just focus on this list and forget about the rest. You should consider the following:
- HTML caching on the CDN (not only the host)
- Redesign or rethink about the main thread of work (JavaScript execution)
- rearrange the ATF objects and dont lazy load if image or video and don't use web fonts if paragraph or any kind of text.
- Extract the Critical Path CSS style definitions and put it into the head section and request for the rest as a separate external CSS file
- configure asset caching

I tried very hard to work on climateretrofit.co.uk for page speed especially by minimizing the and using webp images but still performance is very very bad and webpage loading time is very high. Additionally DA is very low, i am working on this website almost from 2 years but still not very satisfied. What should I do?

@mohammadrehanseo I just analyzed your site:
Desktop score is OK, mobile one needs some work.
Here is what I would do based on my optimization experience and what PageSpeed Insights for your site are suggesting:
- Install a free caching plugin, I've heard a free module Cache Enabled from KeyCDN is OK, just google for alternatives
- Move Javascript to the bottom to improve Start Render Time, there are free plugins for it
- Convert images to WebP and AVIF formats for lower weight. Use picture HTML5 tag to fallback to png or jpeg for browsers that don't support WebP/AVIF
- Use bigger TTL (about a year) for static content
-
@mohammadrehanseo You can use the LiteSpeed cache free plugin for speed optimization and no need to buy premium. I am also using it on a site FIFA 23 for Android and it's working well.

Should posts show in multiple categories?
Hi all, For context, I'm trying to Silo my content more efficiently. I've just moved all content into their own SILO'd categories and removed them from duplicate categories. As such, posts now sit only in 1 category. My question here is: Should my posts be showing in both the parent category and its sub category or just the sub-category? I've currently got this only showing in the sub-categories it's relevant to. For example:

Post name: Shimano Fishing Rod Review

Sudden drop in website ranking
Since past 2 week my website www.micromaxtablet.in is experiencing sudden drops in the site ranking. I can understand this regression in the site ranking is not because of Goggle Panda update, and their is some other reason. Kindly let me know what could be the other possibilities, and plz also suggest how to get it fixed. Keyword for which the site had the best rankings (in top 3) was "micromax tablet". Now it shows on the second page in the google search and to make it worse, it's losing its position almost every second day.

Author Mark on multiple websites - Is this possible?
Let's assume that someone has a blog and they've added the author tag to that so they appear in author search. Let's say they then write an article on another site? Can that site use the same author mark for them? I guess the question is: Can the same author mark be used across multiple sites?
