LESSON 18 – How To…Utilize WordPress Website Optimization with GTmetrix and PageSpeed Insights

We have a lot of moving parts in place now as we continue our journey down a “be your own boss-type” mentality. This time out what we’re going to attempt to do is modify our main site to the best of our ability. I will be using my usual training site at Krown Kayak (krownkayak.com) and My Media Helper (mymediahelper.com).

Our goal is to clean up our websites as best we can for optimization and load speeds.

Four links we’re going to use to measure performance are…

Gtmetrix: https://gtmetrix.com
PageSpeed Insights: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights
HubSpot Website Grader: https://website.grader.com
Google Lighthouse: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse#devtools

PLUGINS:

WP Super Cache: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache
Imagify: https://imagify.io
Autoptimize: https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize
Async JavaScript: https://wordpress.org/plugins/async-javascript
GTmetrix for WordPress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gtmetrix-for-wordpress

Trial and Error are going to be good tools. Take the time to attempt different plugins and settings to see what is most effective. The PLUGINS I suggested above are the ones I found most useful to speed up MyMediaHelper.com and KrownKayak.com.

COMING SOON: This will be the last of the LESSON videos for a month or so as I build up my own Affiliate and DropShipping Product sites. There will be plenty of Quick Tip, Podcast, Analytic and other videos in the meantime.
