In this video we’re going to optimize a website of a client of mine from this score… to this score! Now that’s a very big difference. If you follow the steps I take in this video, you also be able to optimize your own website, to crank up your speed of your WordPress website. Let’s dive in right now. The first thing we do of course is to see what website we’re going to optimize. So I’m put it in here motorsticker.com and I press enter. Now watch what’s going to happen. I didn’t slow this down, I didn’t do anything on it. This is what happens. It’s taking a lot of time. So let’s see what’s going on and I’m going to agree. This is a very nice website it’s created by someone – not by me – and you just can click on it and then you have to just wait….
I’m this is definitely a problem. For a web shop, this is really a conversion killer, because it’s taking way too long. It’s actually quite a nice website it’s about motor stickers – of course – and you can sell all kind of rim striping and all kind of things you need for your bicycle. Great. And let’s press on contact, let’s see how long this takes. Right that’s really getting slow. So we’re going to try to optimize the speed of this thing. What we need are third party tools that can measure the speed for us, and let us know if we are on the right track with optimizing it. To do this we go to Google and we type in “Page Speed Insights” over there. This is the website we’re going to use. Click on it. We’re going to open up another tab and we’re going to type in GT Metrix, also over there click on it. And we’re going to use another website, the last one is Pingdom tools, search for it and click on the Pingdom Website Speed Test Pingdom Tools. Here we go. So the first one is Page Speed Insight. I’ll fill in your own website in over here and press on ‘Analyze; . Then we’re going to do the same with GT Metrix, just put your website in over there and press on ‘Test your site’. Here we go. Also with Pingdom, go over there fill in your website, choose a location that’s nearest to you – in our case it’s Germany. We’re going to press ‘Start Test’. Here we go. Now let’s go to Page Speed Insights and see if things have changed a little bit. All right, I have not seen a website this bad. This is really bad. On mobile an 11 and on desktop a 38 now, if you click on mobile, and you scroll down just a little bit, you can see what’s the biggest problem. The first Contentful Paint, how long it takes for an image to appear, and the Largest Contentful Paint. So when this loads in, everything changes on your display, and this is not good for user experience. That’s what Page Speed says. Let’s go to GT Metrix. This is not very good. And why? Again largest contentful paint – they’re not happy with it and the performance is just 25%, because it takes way too long. If you scroll down on your own website, you will see that it these are the seconds. One 2 3 4 5 6, and then at 8 seconds it’s actually ready for ‘Time to interactive’. That means after 8 seconds you can actually use the site. And that’s way too long. Let’s go to Pingdom. Pingdom is also not impressed, it has a C. With a page size and a…..

Can confirm, WP Rocket is an excellent tool to use, to speed up your website.
Can recommend it to anyone who is using WordPress as the main CMS. Though one needs to keep in mind for fine tweaking, one needs to have knowledge as to what one can change to up the performance.
Can you test please BerqWP i understand is one of the best for speed optimisation. they have a life time deal on appsumo. thank you
I accidentally deleted my wp rocket plugin from WordPress. Can you help me to regain it? As it's a paid tool and now i don't know what to do
Great video, thank you very much!
Do you have a video about why you don´t like Polylang? I would like to know more about that. Thanks!
ty Matt, another really useful WP optimisation video I can make use of
Great!! So helpful 🙏
Cloudfare plugin is not the best solution? Not only for speed but also for increased security?
Happy New Year, thank you for all the tutorials, and all the assistance you have provided the community, I am hoping you can assist me with an issue I am having or I am trying to figure out as follows, is there any way to change the order of items displayed in the cart meaning the most recent added to be at the top? presently woocommerce has the most previously added item to the bottom, I am working with a deadline of 2 days I will be grateful for any assistance or recommendations you may have thank you, sir
Hi
My wordpress website is redirected to 404 error page not found my whole website.
How do I resolve this issue?
Man you're amazing thanks a lot !
Hi Matt! Great tutorial! This is the only plugin which really worked for me, and I was finally able to get green scores on Page Speed Insights.
I'm very happy with it, but I have one question for you. My landing page is loading very fast now, but the background slider (made with elementor) on the main header section is taking some time. I tried to exclude the images of the slider from lazy loading but that didn't work. Can you suggest another fix? Thank you!
Hi @WPressDoctor ! I have watched your tutorial for multiple times and at one point got my Mobile Performance to 71 and desktop to 94 but then some elements were broken (header search and hamburger menu). So I restarted and now it's only between 40-64 for Mobile and steady 84 for desktop. Can you help me? Using WP Rocket and Elementor Pro (with custom header). Also can't reduce LCP under 8 seconds (using a hero slider and Piotnet Addons for Elementor)
How does this affect revenue of blog websites that are monetized by google adsense and display ads that uses javascript?
This incredible tutorial for WP Rocket. thank you Matt for giving precious time
This was very helpful. Thank you so much.
Het werkt, helemaal top man! Bedankt!
That was an Amazing video and explanation of everything – Thank you.
Have you considered doing a review of Litespeed? I ran benchmarks using Litespeed Server (running on Ubuntu 18.04) & Litespeed plugin for WordPress. I tested the shopping cart page (in woocommerce) and got a speed rating of 98/100 for mobile and 100/100 on desktop. No WP theme installed as I was using Breakdance as the development environment. You owe it to yourself to look at this combination of tools! But thanks for this video, it served to confirm that I was already using the best tools available.
