How to increase your website speed

Detailed and step-by-step tutorial about how to optimize your website’s speed. Please follow instructions in this manual and after performing all these steps your website will load faster.

                       1. First of all please install and activate WP Fastest Cache plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/ 

This plugin creates static HTML files from your dynamic WordPress blog. When a page is rendered, PHP and MySQL are used. Therefore, the system needs RAM and CPU. If many visitors come to a site, the system uses lots of RAM and CPU so the page is rendered so slowly. In this case, you need a cache system not to render page again and again. Cache system generates a static HTML file and saves. Other users reach the static HTML page. Read this tutorial about how to apply correct settings: https://justbrightme.com/wp-fastest-cache-settings/
