If we go to the performance page cash, then we see that we have a cash preload. So, if we are automatically prime the page cash and update it on a schedule, that's going to make it really fast to, load that, that page.

How Do I Speed Up A Slow Wordpress Site?

Hi, welcome to Hopps help or answer questions in two minutes. Today's question is how do I speed up a slow WordPress site?
So you want to keep your plugging count low, try to aim for 25 plugins or fewer active plugins or less, by the way, you should be deleting the ones that you're deactivating as well.
That way then you don't have that security liability, but every active plugin is adding a certain degree of complexities to your site.
And in doing that, it's every plugin slows your site down just a little bit. Now, all of those combined to just a little bit more slow, just a little slower, just a little slower, and you wind up with a mess.
So you want to try to keep your plugging count as low as possible. And ironically, another idea is to add a new plugin and this one is actually a caching plugin and a caching plugin is going to compile a page for you basically.
So that way, then you don't have to recompile the page every time it loads. And because it doesn't have to go through all of those calculations every single time, it loads, it's just going to display the cached page as it's called for the visitor.
And that way, then you don't have to, waste a lot of time loading that page and potentially you lose your audience Images or an are awful images are also an often overlooked tongue twister.
I mean, having a, having a megabyte image here, a megabyte image there, may you have a video that's loading in?
Have I dunno, 200 megs? Do you know what I mean? So you want to go and try to keep that stuff low as well.
So some things that that'll cash image or to bull shrink images are image optimizers. Okay. And hummingbird is actually one of the, uh, one of the bigger brands in that and smush that's by the same people and whatnot that, uh, smush will go in and smush your images for you.
Your image as a promiser is also really popular. I'm looking at the star counts by the way, and how many installations they have.
And by the way, I've seen their brands quite often. So that's another key indicator that they're popular. So, all right.
So I hope this gives you some ideas on where you can optimize your site's speed. And if you'd like one-on-one assistance with a WordPress expert, how about https://app.hopps.io/session/create today?

What Is The Difference Between A Caching Plugin And A CDN?

Hi, welcome to Hopps help where we answer questions in two minutes. Today's question is what is the difference between a caching plugin and a CDN?
So, a caching plugin such as w three total cash, the content on your server. So, let's say that you have a page that needs to be compiled from various plugins, that, that contribute to the page such as maybe you have a Google ad running on there.
And another one is a contact form. So those all need to be created through the server, but to speed things up, your server can go and cash.
The HTML output. What you see is called HTML by the way. So that gets cashed in the server and it speeds up the page load because it doesn't have to go and recompile that output.
It just sends it from the cash. Now a CDN, however, is where you take in data from maybe a third-party URL or something of that nature.
Now, if you have bootstrap on your website, which is a popular JavaScript level library, and it could be anything I'm just using that.
As an example, you have that you have made the bootstrap CSS file, or maybe you have a J query or something of that nature.
Something that every site is going to be using practically, there's a very good chance that somebody has already loaded that library.
I'm one of these sites, every single site loaded their own copy of that library. It would go in; they'd have to load it every single time they visit the site.
Now, if they have it from the same URL, the browser says, I've already loaded this URL. Why don't I just go and use that for this site as well?
And that's the beauty of a CDN means you load it on the load it from a CDN and other sites using that CDN can go and leverage that, that already loaded code.
