The reasoning behind a slow WordPress site is often multi-faceted, but can easily be pinpointed if properly inspected. 

The most typical reason is a fatal combination of poorly executed code and a slow server to which the code resides on. This can often be further subjected by an excessive use of plugins or an old theme as well. 

Have no fear. Most, if not all of these factors can be remedied with proper care and sometimes a bit of web development work. 

When it comes to addressing these issues, we work from the foundation and move outward. We always recommend using a high-performance, WordPress optimized hosting provider so as to eliminate any chances that it’s not your website but the environment on which the site resides. This is why we provide Site Optimization free with any WordPress hosting plan at WP Farm.

We incorporate a full suite of advanced techniques from performance page caching to GZip compression to give you blazing fast speeds. Because websites come in all shapes and sizes and there is no be-all end-all solution. What might work for one website may not be the best for yours. It’s important to determine what works best for your website based on your theme requirements, server restrictions, or plugin conflicts and that’s why for many website owners, a custom solution like WP Optimize makes sense.

Our trained specialists will scan and optimize multiple aspects of your website.

File-based Optimization: Our trained specialists will optimize your file directory for compression and minification. Additionally, it will be scanned for malware. If malware is found, the website owner is alerted immediately. We’ll document the malware, repair the issues, and install your website on a fresh copy of WordPress.

Image Optimization: WP Optimize performs scans of images larger than necessary to fit it’s frame. This works wonders on websites that have plenty of photos.

Patching: We’ll run a compatibility check and patch your WordPress (when available) to ensure you are up-to-date and deliver a final report.

Each site is different by design, which is the primary reason WP Farm optimizes sites by hand instead of using automated services. That being said, we humbly report a 100% success rate with gains of 10-25x the original speeds when all recommendations have been implemented. This translates into a decreased load time average of 7.5 seconds when measured using GT Metrix and YSlow benchmarks.
