Unless you've been living under rock for the past year, you know that when it comes to ranking on page 1 with Google - page speed as become super important. Unfortunately, for many of us in the zero/low content vertical, our websites are super image-heavy, and very slow loading.
And to be perfectly honest, since I don't rely much on organic traffic, I really have not worried about it too much, but finally decided to bite the bullet after reading a great article about a couple of new WP plugins available free on the WP repository. Literally, within minutes of installing the one plugin, Autoptimize, I had moved up from that F/C rating above to B/A, and with a bit more time and a few more tweaks - I
|
As promised this am, here's a quick re-cap of exactly how I took my image-heavy website that was a major fail in the speed page game, and turned it around in an afternoon - and I promise a total step by step by the end of the week with my setting screenshots, too! (And please - do back up your blog before doing this - you never know when a couple of plugins won't play nice with each other!!)
|
|
1) Downloaded and installed Autoptimize. Followed basic instructions and settings.
|
|
2) One of the big issues with page speed, believe it or not, is the use of Googlefonts!
|
|
3) Far Future Expiry is an easy to use plugin that solves another big issue: this plugin will modify your .htaccess file by inserting code which will add expires headers for common static file types. It also enables GZip compression, which Google also loves.
|
4) There were still some issues with too many HTTP requests from CSS and Javascript, so a bit of research and Fast Velocity Minify seemed to be the winner here.
Installed and again, just used the basic settings.
In spite of adding 4 new plugins to my blog, at this point the page speed was up to A/A, although the score was A(90)/A(94), which frankly I was thrilled with....but then I decided to go all the way and use a CDN. I chose KeyCDN because I kept seeing good reviews on it, and I have never been all that thrilled with Cloudflare.
|
|
This part of the set-up took a bit longer - mainly because one of the images on the KeyCDN site was outdated and did not match up with the actual dashboard image today. But after a couple of attempts, I got it working - thanks to their spiffy little plugin,
|
CDN Enabler. This made the set-up super easy, and although there is a small cost to using their service, it is very, very minimal. It looks like my site will run me around $5 per month.
|
The result of less than 2 hrs work (most of which I spent trying to figure out the Key CDN set-up) was that my site went from that ugly F(0%)/C(74%) to an amazing A(94%)/A(97%).
|
You can honestly do the same thing with the quick overview above, but I will have it all written up for, step by step, with screenshots of my plugin settings by the end of the week. And yes, it will be free.
