Measure first
Identify slow templates, large images, render-blocking assets, or slow server responses.
Optimize images
Resize images to their display dimensions, compress them, and use modern formats when appropriate.
Use caching carefully
Page caching, browser caching, and object caching solve different problems. Choose tools compatible with your host.
Keep the stack lean
Remove unused plugins and heavy widgets. Re-test after each change to measure impact.
