Measuring is knowing. The first thing you have to do is measure the current speed of your website. You can use Pingdom FPT for this purpose *. Do that a few times throughout the day, for example in the morning and in the evening to get an idea whether your site is always as fast. A loading time under 4 seconds is acceptable for many websites, if it is slower than 6 seconds you should actually improve on that. If you have a web shop, you should aim for less than 3 seconds. If you have completed the tips below, measure the speed again to see if it has been improved.

- You can make (parts of) your website static (this is called caching), so that they do not have to be recreated for every visitor. Almost every frequently visited website makes use of this. For WordPress there are two very popular plugins that do this for you: W3 Total Cache and Supercache. In addition to caching, there are many other options in these plugins to make your site faster.
- In addition to staticizing your website, you can also use a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to load parts of your website such as images from the fastest locations. WordPress Premium customers receive a CDN by default , but you can use any CDN, also on shared hosting.
Other techniques
- Google PageSpeed provides good insight into which parts of your website can be improved.
- You can optimize the images on your site so that they do not take up more space than necessary. You can do that manually with a photo editing program, but it's easier to use a plugin like WP Smush.it (free for images up to 1 MB).
- With Browser Caching you ensure that content that does not change frequently, such as images on the computers of your visitors are stored. In this way, someone who visits your website does not have to retrieve each element every time. For this you can also use W3 Total Cache, or something more technical, to add the rules yourself to the .htaccess file of your website.
- Visitors can leave standard comments (this is different from a contact form). If your site does not use that option, turn it off
- Trackbacks off if you do not need (and have few sites that actually needed).
- Your homepage is often the most important page. Make sure it is not too long, and work with "excerpts" instead of showing articles fully on your homepage.
