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 -
SEO trending down after adding content to website
Hi
Technical SEO | | swat1827
Looking for some guidance. I added about 14 pages of unique content and did all of the on page SEO work using Yoast - have 'good' status on all of them some of the website architecture was changed - mainly on one page. That being said, we got a significant bump the day I implemented, however every day thereafter we have had very bad results. Worse than we had before for about 3 days now. I did resubmit the updated sitemap to GWT and I'm showing no crawl errors. Also, curious if my Robots.txt file could be the issue. All it contains is User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/ Any insight or advise is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time0 -
Wordpress "incoming search terms" plugin
Hello everyone! newbie to SEO and have been trying to keep everything nice and ethical but I've seen on a couple of blogs today "incoming search terms" at the bottom of the blogs, then a bullet pointed list of search terms beneath it. So I had a quick search about the use of it and noticed wordpress has a plugin that automatic ally generates these "incoming search terms". I ask is this a legitimate plugin or will this harm my blog? I assume it generally will as I can't see this being much use for the audience, rather it would be 100% for trying to lure in search engines.

Website redesign launch
Hello everyone, I am in the process of having my consulting website redesigned and have a question about how this may impact SEO. I will be using the same URL as I did before, just simply replacing an old website with a new website. Obviously the URL structure will change slightly since I am changing navigation names. Page titles will also change. Do I need to do anything special to ensure that all of the pages from the old website are redirected to the new website? For example, should I do a page level redirect for each page that remains the same? So that the old "services" page is pointed to the new "services" page? Or can I simply do a redirect at the index page level? Thank you in advance for any advice! Best, Linda
