Speed Up Your WordPress Website Without Plugins
Nowadays all want to build a website/blog for their business and get success to bring their business online but get failed to populate their business over the globe. To get success in your digital business you must have to go with the digital marketing strategy and digital marketing itself depends on your site weight means the site must be light-weighted, smooth and load within a second. To do the same first you have to try to optimize the site with some custom technique.
Step 1: Test your site on Google PageSpeed Insights to view your current score on both Desktop and Mobile devices.
Step 2: Go to the root directory of the site and open up your .htaccess file with the help of FTP or any other tools. Here, we want to enable browser caching. Copy and paste the below-given codes on your .htaccess file. Once you save the changes to your file, go back to your website and check everything is working fine or not.
# BEGIN Expire headers ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault “access plus 5 seconds” ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access plus 2592000 seconds” ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 2592000 seconds” ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 2592000 seconds” ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 2592000 seconds” ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash “access plus 2592000 seconds” ExpiresByType text/css “access plus 604800 seconds” ExpiresByType text/javascript “access plus 216000 seconds” ExpiresByType application/javascript “access plus 216000 seconds” ExpiresByType application/x-javascript “access plus 216000 seconds” ExpiresByType text/html “access plus 600 seconds” ExpiresByType application/xhtml+xml “access plus 600 seconds” # END Expire headers
# BEGIN Cache-Control Headers Header set Cache-Control “public” Header set Cache-Control “public” Header set Cache-Control “private” Header set Cache-Control “private, must-revalidate” # END Cache-Control Headers
Step: 3. As you know the WordPress offers post revisions by default. Everytime you make any changes on your WordPress website, it stores every changes on your database. I think it is not required for you. If it is not required to you then you can simply disable these features as it takes to many spaces in our database and makes the database and site performance slow.
To disabled wp post revision, go to the root directory of your website. Locate your wp-config.php file and open it. You just need to copy the given bellow codes on your wp-config.php file.
define( ‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false);
If ‘wp post revision’ important for you then you can simply make this features and set it to save limited number of revisions only by using the given bellow codes.
define( ‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 5);
Here, WordPress will store maximum 5 numbers of revisions of your each post/pages.
Step 4: Enable Gzipping compression: It actually used for reducing the size of web files like HTML, PHP, CSS and Javascript files to about 25-30%.
To check whether gzip is enabled on your website and what the gzip compression rate is, use this popular tool Gift of speed.
After testing your score, if you want to enable the Gzip compression then you can do this by two methods.
A) Open your .htaccess files, copy and paste the given below codes.
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-truetype AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-otf AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-opentype AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/otf AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/opentype # For Olders Browsers Which Can't Handle Compression BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
B) Open your php.ini file. It locates depending on your host. When you located your php.ini file, just copy and paste the given below codes to enable Gzipping compression.
zlib.output_compression = ON
If you already found the codes like “zlib.output_compression = Off” in your php.ini files then simply change it with ‘OFF’ to ‘ON’
