Thread: Best ways to increase my website speed for seo ?

I am using wordpress, i used wpcache plugin for speed, is there any other plugin for increase my site speed more than wpcache.

I do not think you need anything else, WPCache is enough for you, I am also using the same with great result, just make sure to disable while updating your post.

Better server and faster port for sure.

hey yaseen,

this will give you your page speed and also answer of your question ... HOW TO INCREASE PAGE SPEED FROM SEO PROSPECTIVE ... with mentioning all lacking points over there ..

You need to optimize your site first, please find reliable hosting company. With reliable hosting company, you dont face any downtime, if your site often goes down like roaller coaster, it will make bad SEO score for you.

The site should be more content based and the images used should be optimized. Also, the server should be the best one.

if you are not expecting 2-3 k visitors per day then fast & high cost servers don't matter, a simple shared hosting plan would work fine (cost should remain low for any project)

as said by the experts cache plugin for wp just works fine (i have done same on my websites)

other than that remove the extra plugins of no use would help a little & a good seo plugin might also help

one thing to add is that there are security threats on wp , i hope you are dealing with them properly

Plugins can make your blog faster as well as slow. also heavy templates make blogs slow. There are several good pugins you can use increase your speed. I use these plugins,

WP-Optimize
W3 Total Cache
WP Smush.it

You should remove all unnecessary files from your server and reduce your flash and java script from your website. I hope your website's load will decrease which will be helpful for your website speed. If your hosting is slow then change your hosting immediately.

if you want to increase your website traffic. you should optimize your website according to rules. images should be optimized. don't use one style sheet for whole website. make it in parts.

Of-course better server and faster port is priority, but everyone cannot afford it for all kind of websites, so WP-cache is free solution.

Or some simple and low cost tricks like, css and javascript minifying, site caching, pic. optimization, code and database optimization....etc..

Wpcache may helps to improve your optimization standars to some
Extent and also focus on other standars ways like
On site optimization and offsite optimization.

I think you should be cautious about your images, as we mostly take them lightly. You should always combine your images into CSS sprites. Another good way to increase the speed is to bring down all your Java Scripts at the bottom of html. This will help loading the page faster, as JavaScript that is located towards the top of an html document block your page rendering. Hope it helps.

I agree with vipsmat.
First thing --> We should make a sprite (combination many background images)
Second --> Put all your javascript files at the bottom (try to reduce the number of files, it's more better).

Purchase only reliable company hosting. if you purchase cheap hosting sometime their server problems it's not good for them. Most reliable hosting company is godaddy. i know their package is too much expensive, but is reliable. Zip your all files.

try to use VPS, not hosting service

How much speed do you think is good for SEO and how much is your current speed? If you will tell about these two things, then I can estimate if you need something or it is fine.
