Speed-Up Your WordPress Site

The speed of your website is an important factor for Search Engine Optimisation. But at the end of the day, it’s your visitors that matter most and they hate slow sites. If your website is slow, your visitors will go (it’s that simple).

Why not upgrade your Website Security too?

Nothing slows a site down more than being hacked or compromised. Most times hackers are only interested in using your website to send spam or attack other sites. Bad bots and unwanted access attempts only drain your sites resources. A bit of preventative website security goes a long way to keeping your site running smoothly.

Before & After
Site Speed-Up

When someone visits a website, their device (like a computer or phone) sends a request to the website’s server asking for all the files and images needed to display the site. If the website has a lot of large files or complex code, it can take a long time for the server to respond and for the website to load on the visitor’s device.

This is where optimization comes in. Optimization is the process of making a website faster and more efficient.

Optimizing a WordPress website can be a lot of work, but it’s important for providing a good visitor experience.

A faster website is not only more enjoyable to use, but it can also improve a website’s search engine rankings, which can lead to more visitors and better business outcomes.

BEFORE WordPress Website Speed-Up

The website was slower than 73% of tested websites.

AFTER WordPress Website Speed-Up

Web Host

Every aspect of your website affects it’s speed and performance. The biggest factor is your web host, how powerful it is and where it’s located. If you’re on a shared server how many other sites are using the same resources as you? You might be shocked.

Visit the GetYourSignal site to see who you share a server with.

Budget servers often have thousands of websites all sharing resources of a single server.
Mid-Range shared servers might have around 30-300 websites on a single server.
Dedicated servers host just 1 website.

If this is all sounding a little complicated – think of it like apps on your phone. Remember how fast your phone worked when it was new and only had a few apps on it. Now think about adding 800 apps running at the same time and you get the picture.

If you want to move your site to a better server, we can recommend something suitable and even migrate your WordPress site for you. Contact us for more details.

Website Design

The design of your site needs to be a balance between form and function. Functionality comes at a price – as do speed, images and video, fancy fonts – everything is connected. And they all affect speed. Granted, were talking milliseconds here and milliseconds there, but they all add up. Combine that with a slow server and you’re always going to be limited by speed.

Our WP Speed-Up service optimises your site as much as possible to make it as fast as possible within it’s current format. We don’t alter or affect your design in any way – we might make a few suggestions when we’re done but we aim to be as intrusive as possible.

You’ll defiantly see a difference, even if you’re site is already optimised, it’s probably not optimised as much as it could be. We’ll squeeze as much speed out as possible to reduce the load on even the slowest servers.

Alternatively – contact us about a site re-design and we’ll build you a brand new responsive (mobile friendly) website fully optimise it for speed. Not sure if you need to go this far? See our article on Digital First Impressions. Does Your Website Need a Redesign?
