Use a Caching Plugin
W3 Total Cache
Since WordPress sites have to make regular database requests, a caching plugin reduces these Country Email List requests by generating a static HTML page to display instead. Caching plugins can help your site handle larger amounts of traffic, and also compress and optimize other areas of your site. Two of the most commonly used caching plugins are WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache. It’s difficult to pick one over the other, so take a look yourself and pick whichever one that takes your fancy.
If you want your site to remain fast then you’ll need to maintain it on a regular basis. Continued maintenance on your site includes dealing with comment spam, fixing any broken links and pages, and optimizing your database with a plugin like WP-DBManager. This will help keep your site’s performance high, so you don’t see a decrease in your newly upgraded site you’ve worked so hard for.
Having a high performing website with fast loading speeds will only become more important as time goes on. Luckily, with a suite of free online tools and WordPress plugins, you can test WordPress performance on your site to find the trouble spots and fix them without too much work.
