How to Boost Your WordPress Website Speed to 95+ (Without Premium Plugins)
-
I'm reaching out for some advice on improving my WordPress website's speed. I'm currently using a free theme for this fusion magazine and aiming for a score of 95+ on Google PageSpeed Insights. I'm aware that premium plugins can significantly enhance performance, but I'm hoping to achieve similar results using primarily free solutions and manual optimizations.

@mohammadrehanseo I am eager to tell you that WordPress speed optimization is my profession. So you may just focus on this list and forget about the rest. You should consider the following:
- HTML caching on the CDN (not only the host)
- Redesign or rethink about the main thread of work (JavaScript execution)
- rearrange the ATF objects and dont lazy load if image or video and don't use web fonts if paragraph or any kind of text.
- Extract the Critical Path CSS style definitions and put it into the head section and request for the rest as a separate external CSS file
- configure asset caching

I tried very hard to work on climateretrofit.co.uk for page speed especially by minimizing the and using webp images but still performance is very very bad and webpage loading time is very high. Additionally DA is very low, i am working on this website almost from 2 years but still not very satisfied. What should I do?

@mohammadrehanseo I just analyzed your site:
Desktop score is OK, mobile one needs some work.
Here is what I would do based on my optimization experience and what PageSpeed Insights for your site are suggesting:
- Install a free caching plugin, I've heard a free module Cache Enabled from KeyCDN is OK, just google for alternatives
- Move Javascript to the bottom to improve Start Render Time, there are free plugins for it
- Convert images to WebP and AVIF formats for lower weight. Use picture HTML5 tag to fallback to png or jpeg for browsers that don't support WebP/AVIF
- Use bigger TTL (about a year) for static content
-
@mohammadrehanseo You can use the LiteSpeed cache free plugin for speed optimization and no need to buy premium. I am also using it on a site FIFA 23 for Android and it's working well.

Unsolved Almost every new page become Discovered - currently not indexed
Almost every new page that I create becomes Discovered - currently not indexed. It started a couple of months ago, before that all pages were indexed within a couple of weeks. Now there are pages that have not been indexed since the beginning of September. From a technical point of view, the pages are fine and acceptable for a Google bot. The pages are in the sitemap and have content. Basically, these are texts of 1000+ or 2000+ words. I've tried adding new content to pages and even transferring content to a new page with a different url. But in this way, I managed to index only a couple of pages. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Could it be that until September of this year, I hadn't added new content to the site for several months?
Please help, I am already losing my heart.0 -

Moving a website from one domain to another
Hi Guys, I figured I'd investigate this fully before potentially ruining a client's traffic. The rundown:Two websites; one is an ecommerce store and the other is just a brochure website which has references to the ecommerce store. The ecommerce store is hosted on a server we control whereas the brochure one isn't, the URL for the brochure store is nice and simple which is the reason for the switch, as the ecommerce URL is very long and hard to remember. Now from an SEO point of view will it be a case of 301 redirecting every URL from the old domain name to the new one one or is there an easier option? Any tips or links to more information would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dan

Redirection Plugin and Regular Expressions
I am using Wordpress and the Redirection plugin. I have recently launched a new site and while it was in development, a lot of broken pages were created and indexed. These are terminating in 404s. I am looking to redirect all traffic from: /replay/postname/ to the homepage. When I use this regular expression: Source: /replay/* Target: / it removes the /replay/ but leaves the postname. Any idea how I could redirect all traffic inside of /replay/ to the homepage? Thanks a bunch, Josh
