Make your WordPress website lightning fast
“ - [Patrick] WordPress makes creating and maintaining a website easy. That's why over 40% of websites on the internet use WordPress. It's by far the most popular content management system in the world. But the same features that make WordPress easy to maintain don't necessarily make it fast. And nowadays, no one wants to wait. If your website takes more than three seconds to load, people abandon ship and bounce out of your site, fewer people will convert, and because search engines know consumers don't like to wait, they take speed into consideration for your search engine ranking. I'm going to show you how to improve the speed and performance of your WordPress website. We'll look into plugins, themes, optimizing images, using CDNs, manage WordPress hosts, and the right way to test and measure the speed of your website on a weekly basis. I'm Patrick Rauland, and I've been building WordPress websites professionally for over a decade. I've built sites for clients, created custom themes, developed plugins, designed software, and worked with WordPress hosts.
