This document provides tips to make a website 5 times faster in 10 minutes. It recommends updating PHP to the most recent version, enabling opcode caching, increasing PHP's memory limit, enabling HTTPS/HTTP2 support, and installing plugins like Autoptimize, WP Fastest Cache, EWWW Image Optimizer, and Jetpack Lazy Load to optimize assets, cache pages, optimize images, and lazy load images. Implementing these server configuration changes and plugins can significantly improve site performance by reducing processing, HTTP requests, file sizes, and loading times.

- 2. Server settings ◦ PHP version ◦ PHP modules ◦ PHP settings ◦ HTTPS/SSL + HTTP/2 support WordPress plugins ◦ Autoptimize ◦ WP Fastest Cache ◦ EWWW Image Optimizer ◦ Jetpack Lazy Load Overview
- 3. Switch to the most recent stable release of PHP. Pros: Faster – PHP 7 is ~11% faster than PHP 5 Lower memory consumption – PHP 7 uses ~24% less memory Better security Lower hosting costs Cons: Backward incompatibility PHP Version
- 4. Turn on Opcode Caching (opcache). This saves compiled code and reuses it. Pros: Faster – 3 times faster, in my experience Far lower resource consumption Cons: Outdated code execution (super rare) PHP Modules
- 6. Give PHP enough memory to use. Set memory_limit to at least 256MB Pros: Fewer (no) failures and retries Cons: Limit on concurrent processes (depends on hosting) PHP Settings
- 7. With hosting providers now offering free SSL certificates, this is a no-brainer. HTTPS enabled HTTP/2 by default. Pros: Parallel HTTP requests HTTP header compression Predictive serving of resources Cons: None. Old browsers fall back on HTTP/1.1 HTTPS/SSL + HTTP/2
- 8. Combines CSS and JS resources (even inline). Minifies CSS, JS and HTML. Pros: Fewer HTTP requests Smaller HTTP requests Cons: Additional processing Outdated resources Resource combination limits parallel requests – using HTTP/2 is better Minification issues (rare) Autoptimize
- 9. Serves static pages. Turns on compression and cache control. Pros: Significantly reduced processing Fewer HTTP requests Smaller HTTP requests Cons: Requires processing Resource combination limits parallel requests – using HTTP/2 is better Wp Fastest Cache
- 10. Resizes and compresses images. Pros: Smaller images Faster image loading times Cons: Lower image display quality WEBP compatibility issues when caching Premium extra compression costs EWWW Image Optimizer
- 11. Loads images via JavaScript as they enter the viewport. Pros: Faster perceived page load Lower bandwidth consumption Cons: Can break responsive layouts (WooCommerce product gallery) Incompatible with EWWW JS serving of WEBP images Possible SEO issue Jetpack Lazy Load
