Thank you.
Very good tutorial, Lennard! I've been using WordPress for years and these tweaks have had some of the biggest improvements to my sites.
Hi, Lennard. Thanks for this tutorial, it has really helped, however, an image from my homepage has vanished, but the content (text) is still there. Maybe there's a conflct with another plugin which I still need to figure out. That being said, are these two plugins mentioned by you compatible with either Asset Cleanup or even WP Cloudfare Super Page Cache plugin? I think they might not be compatible with WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache, but might be, with Asset Clean up. Could you kindly advise on it? I've already subscribed to your channel as it help me improve my speed a lot. Thank you
Lennard, your video made a huge difference on my site. I was able to get a 100 page score, and I asked WP Rocket for a refund on the plugin that I purchased from them yesterday, and the plugin only got me a score of 58. Thank you so very much, for your time and information.
Thank you, Lennard. This is a great tutorial. I was able to speed up my WordPress site from a 69 to a 93 page score🤘 I've sent you a link to my website on your contact form. May I ask you to have a look at it and let me know if there is something else I can do to increase the page speed even further?
Cheers
I have a shopping system with a lot of dynamic content. Is there something special I need to take care of when activating the WP Super Cache? I just want to make sure that activating the cache does not interrupt the check process. Thanks so much🙂

Hi Lennard, nice tutorial I went from 43 to 69 following most of your recommendations. I could increase my speed rating again by "optimizing" Elementor, thanks to the Page Speed Insight I found out it was the issue. I might use asset cleaner to clear up the useless remaining scripts loading in my page. Can it create some conflict with the optimization already done ?
Huge thanks, keep those kind of videos it's amazing ! And the summary on your website provide all the tools that's great !
