What is WordPress speed optimization?

WordPress speed optimization is the set of techniques that reduce page load time: covering server (PHP, MySQL, OPcache), network (CDN, compression, HTTP/2), front-end (CSS/JS minification, lazy loading, critical CSS) and Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS). The goal is TTFB < 200ms e LCP < 2,5s.

What is page cache in WordPress and how does it work?

Page cache stores the HTML generated by PHP and delivers it directly to the browser without running PHP or querying the database. Plugins like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache or LiteSpeed Cache do this. On Nginx servers, the cache can be served directly by the web server without even calling PHP, the fastest method possible.

Does minifying CSS and JS really speed up WordPress?

Minification reduces file size by removing spaces, comments and shortening variables, typical gain of 10% to 30%. The biggest benefit comes from the combination: minification + concatenation (fewer HTTP requests) + Brotli compression (server). On HTTP/2, concatenation is less critical since multiple files are multiplexed.

Does image lazy loading improve all Core Web Vitals?

Lazy loading (loading=”lazy”) indirectly improves LCP by prioritizing critical resources, but should NEVER be applied to the hero/LCP image, that causes poor LCP. CLS isn’t affected by lazy loading if width/height are set. INP isn’t affected. The rule: loading=”lazy” on everything below the fold; fetchpriority=”high” + preload on the LCP image.

Frequently asked questions

Answers before the first call.

How long does the optimization take? +

Simple sites: 1-2 weeks. Complex sites with WooCommerce: 2-4 weeks.

Do you guarantee PageSpeed 100? +

We guarantee Core Web Vitals in the green. The exact score depends on third-party scripts.
