Plugins and hosts that make a WordPress site load faster: caching, image compression and clean-up, and hosts with speed built in. Each card has today's price.
Often the server builds each page again for every visit, the images are big, or the page loads scripts and features it does not need. This page has a fix for each: caching plugins, image plugins and clean-up plugins, and hosts with speed built in. See Perfmatters, which turns off what a site does not need.
A caching plugin saves finished pages, so your server does less work for each visit. Some hosts have caching built in, such as SiteGround, so check what your host does first. See SiteGround.
LiteSpeed Cache is free, and best on hosts that run the LiteSpeed web server. WP Rocket is paid and makes pages load faster with caching, in a few clicks. See WP Rocket's price.
Use an image plugin. ShortPixel compresses images and makes WebP and AVIF copies. Smush compresses images and lazy-loads them. See ShortPixel.
It can. Rocket.net has Cloudflare's network built in, so pages load fast worldwide. Kinsta is fast managed hosting on Google Cloud. SiteGround has built-in caching. See Rocket.net.
These save finished pages, so your server does less work for each visit.
