34 minutes

Do you need help with your website’s speed? Is it too slow? Configured wrong? Is your cheap hosting not good enough? Do you just want it to go from slow to fast or just fast enough? Speed is only one thing to solve.

In this episode, Jean and Gaby Galea talk to Brendan Tully about optimizing WordPress site speed with WP Speed Fix.

WP Speed Fix provides speed optimization for WordPress websites to solve slow site problems, fix Core Web Vitals issues, score higher in Google PageSpeed Insights, troubleshoot slow backend issues, and optimize WooCommerce checkout speed.

Episode Highlights and Topics

How and why WP Speed Fix became a standalone service and separate business.

SiteSpeedBot: Speed test app built to test and optimize sites, plugins, and themes.

Core Web Vitals: Practical implications related to reliable tests measuring performance.

Uptime and Reliability: Monetized commercial websites should have uptime monitoring.

Big Pages: SEO and ranking issues - fix the page size to make the problems go away.

Lazy Loading: Images outside viewable area don’t load until user scrolls; slows site time.

Non-Critical/Essential Tools: Remove, pause, or turn off channels to improve speed.

Content Migration/Site Audit: Simple sites are straightforward; others are problematic.

Database Issues: Too much stuff can cause checkout/caching problems and slow speed.
