WordPress Performance
Your WordPress site is slow. You’ve installed caching plugins, optimized images, and it’s still not fast enough. I get it. I’ve spent 16 years figuring out what actually moves the needle on WordPress speed.
This category covers everything that affects how fast your site loads: server response times, database optimization, caching strategies, Core Web Vitals fixes, and the technical details most tutorials skip. No generic advice here. I test everything on real sites with real traffic before writing about it. You’ll find guides on Redis object caching, CDN configuration, PHP optimization, and why your expensive managed hosting might be the problem. I’ve migrated 47+ sites to faster hosting stacks and documented what works. If your site takes more than 2 seconds to load, something here will fix it.
