WIHL: Speed WordPress Up

WIHL: Speed WordPress Up

My friends and I are starting the website called Droid a Day which mainly uses WordPress. The problem I found today is WordPress slow loading time. So I have done some research and came out with two main things to be done.

  • WordPress Optimization - W3 Total Cache WP Super Cache
  • CDN - CloudFlare

Using GTmetrix to test the site, those two services can improve page loading time from 6.x seconds to around 1 - 2 seconds.

The only thing that you need to be careful is JavaScript. I have tested multiple times with my site, and I have to keep CloudFlare's Rocket Loader and minify off.
