If you want to speed up your WordPress Website in 2021, then I have some good news for you. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars hiring a WordPress developer to optimize your site.

Great work in pulling together this tutorial, very impressive and engaging to watch! You've given me a lot of ideas to play with for my own site, thank you!
Very useful update….😀
Your skills are impressive.
Cool
Been waiting for a video that does this. Thankyou, subscribed!
👉👉👉 Jack, thank you very much for that excellent tutorial. Very clear and well explained. Greetings from Santiago de Chile.😃👌👍
I was start to follow your videos thats all fantastic and not hard to understand, your instruction is very clear.
I photograph families in Melbourne. I am using bricks to create a website. Currently, google PSI desktop scores 88 but it score 66 on mobile. Pingdom scores it a 95.
Good Morning Jack Cao. I am really enjoying your content on how to improve the speed insights rate. I just started my blog two months ago, and my rate is kinda low. The main render resourcing block is a font (Heebo) that I used before, but I removed it from my homw page. However, the file still appears there. Do you know how could I remove it?
Thank you so much
Hi Jack, I have siteground optimiser as part of my siteground account. Would you recommend using it and, if possible, could you please expand on whats the best settings to use within it? Thanks very much, Tracy
Your videos are the most analytical and shows the right to check what is going on behind the scene.
Nice case study. I really like the hands on style on not just bla bla. However, Redis object cache is not a redundant plugin. It was just not activated and helps to reduce database requests, hence it's great for the admin dashboard. This was a Cloudways environment right?
great.. we want regular tutorials on WordPress Speed Optimization
So.. I have been considering switching my theme to GeneratePress for more speed. But, people have told me that Kadence is more user friendly. However.. I need Convert Kit.. but Kadence Blocks will not work with CK? HELLLLP! I would get Kadence Pro.. but I hate paying for things more than once. If I get the Lifetime it is $269 .. but every time you turn around there is something better and faster. I would hate to spend that kind of money and then have to change again in a couple of years. What do to .. ??? Advice ???
Good work there Jack,
I have however managed to hit above 90 in Google pagespeed using Kadence and Lightspeed cache.
Have you tried to compare the 2 caching plugins and their performances.(i.e. LSCWP and WP Rochet)
Commenting to help your algorithm. Thanks. Keep it up 👍
THIS!
Subscribed, of course.
Useful beyond belief. Instead of the usual features blah blah blah of most videos, I actually learned something useful through this hands-on optimization video. Do more like this, please!
Brilliant video! I just tried de-activating google sitekit – big jump up in speed. Do I need this plugin?
Hi Jack. Great video. Mine is not ao great so I intend to follow your guide and do my best. I dont understand If i do my landing page do I then need to do all my pages individually? Thanks.
Before my site's page speed score was (Desktop – around 75, Mobile – around 25). Now after converting all the images to WebP using WebP Express plugin and removing some undesired plugins. The PageSpeed score of my site on the desktop is around 95 but on mobile, it is 45-50. Can you help me out?
You're great. I can feel the pain to create such an detailed tutorial.
What about that cookie consent plugin that you deactivated? You haven’t replaced it’s functionality, or at least you haven’t mentioned replacing it in the video.
great work 🙂 just found your vids and very informative
Great and funny story. 92 on mobile is an awesome result to get on Google page speed
hey jack,
value-adding video
thanks
but how to optimize google double click ads and all things related to adsense.
Redis is a backend cache, the purpose is to speed up PHP. It does not generate frontend code, so I don't think it is redundant. If your host has redis, you should install its corresponding plugin
Hi @Jack Cao how to optimize speed blog with adsense?
Hi Jack, is that true if create your website with elementor can slow down your website?
Generatepress is very slow on Google pagespeed insights
Fricking awesome case study
