WordPress Site front End and Back End Loading Slowly

by

WordPress is a great platform to develop web solutions. However if you consider following points then it would be much better.

  • Reliable DNS

  • Get your wordpress hosting right and use proper caching(WP Super
    Cache or W3 Total Cache)

  • A clean theme and don’t pile up with lots of plugins

  • Disable trackbacks and pingbacks

  • Move CSS to the top,JavaScript to the bottom Use Content Delivery
    Networks (CDN)

  • Use static page to show images, CSS, etc which prevents unnecessary
    data-such as cookie.

  • Don’t use Gravatar which adds weight to your page.
    Use CSS Image Sprites

  • Remove unnecessary characters such as whitespace and comments

  • Compressing your resources can greatly reduce the amount of data
    transferred between your server and the client.Services like Smush.it
    can compress image resources.

  • Using gzipcompression for text based resources (HTML, CSS,
    JavaScript) can reduce sizes by 70%.

  • Remove extra data such as revisions, trashed data and custom meta
    data.

  • Avoid redirects. Add a RewriteRule or preferably a Redirect.

  • Avoiding mod_rewrite. By default, WordPress uses RewriteRule to route
    requests to index.php.

Thanks 🙂
