Optimization of the Website Using Google Page Speed Insights

Google Pagespeed Insights is a fantastic resource for maximizing the pace of your website and raising the UX and SEO rankings in the process. Insights rate the websites on a scale of 100 points, finding a score above 85 is within the “fully configured” category. Getting as high a score as possible is great, but having 100/100 isn’t always the perfect situation. There were times when you need to use those elements that have a substantial positive effect on UX but have a relatively negative impact on page load speed. Within this post, we will look at how to use some frequently found ideas for your WordPress website. Different ways to optimize your website Optimize Images – This Insights alert is better addressed with the installation of a KeyCDN plugin such as Optimus Image Optimizer. Optimus is a very powerful tool with a bulk optimization function and a focus on lossless compression which reduces size without affecting quality. Also, the plug-in will compress images to the .webp format, which can be used in conjunction with WordPress Cache Enabler to make download times even faster. Minify JavaScript and CSS – Installing a plug-in can also address this problem, in this case, Autoptimize. Within the Autoptimize settings, you have the option to allow optimization of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code. Render-Blocking Resources Above the Fold – This problem may stem from two sources: JavaScript / CSS files and Font files. Leverage Browser Caching – It is a problem that can be solved alongside WordPress CDN Enabler with the KeyCDN plug-in. This two plugin will provide assets with headers for cache access. Google Analytics – It can be an almost unfixable problem that many developers miss completely optimizing. You can use the ga-lite script of Jesse Luoto to solve it. When downloaded from jsdelivir, the corresponding headers are automatically attached to the scripts. Reduce server response time – That’s a pretty easy problem to solve. When this comes up, it means switching to a faster web host and eventually introducing a CDN. Conclusion Google Pagespeed Insights is an important tool if you want the best UX. You will reduce the bounce rates and improve retention and conversion with faster loading times and a better UX. It’s not unfailing, though, and as you expand your understanding of the issues raised, you may want to address some of them, while others are better left alone in favor of elements that have a far more positive effect on the UX.
