How To Speed Up WordPress…??

Hello droidopedia,
I have written a complete tutorial on speed optimization, consider following this best practices. https://www.gulshankumar.net/wordpress-speed-optimization-tips/

I’m damn sure, this will be helpful for you.

I’d use WP-Super-Cache if I were you, I really like that cache plugin. Further make sure your PHP settings are optimized (realpath_cache_size, opcache), you use at least PHP 5.6, but preferably 7.0, and that MySQL is optimized (InnoDB in MySQL >= 5.5).

See https://www.saotn.org/mysql-55-innodb-performance-improvement/, https://www.saotn.org/optimize-php-opcache-configuration/ and https://www.saotn.org/optimize-php-performance-check-set-php-realpath_cache_size/ for more information. Also https://www.saotn.org/wordpress-wp-options-table-autoload-micro-optimization/ can make a really huge difference.

Further I see you use multiple plugins with nearly the same functionality (Adsense Made Easy & Google AdSense). Don’t use two, or more, plugins offering the same functionality. Choose one and lose the other.

When I browse your site in Google Chrome, and have the webmaster tools enabled (F12), I see the DOMContentLoaded is approx. 1,35 seconds, and the overall load takes 3,2 seconds. Looks like your Google ads aren’t loaded with defer or async, and the Facebook like box takes quite some time to load the external resources.

thnx for your reply bro .. i have installed wp-super-cache and as you told me about php or mysql tweaks so i don’t know how to modify them… any plugin or any other easy way to do so? and i have uninstalled (adsense made easy) and and how do i defer or async google ads??? 1 more thing is their anyother facebook like box?

@gulshan Kumar
thnx to you too boss… your article is well written but you said remove query strings with a code but code doesn’t work..

Hi @droidopedia, your site already feels much faster now with WPSC enabled!

To remove query strings and version numbers from static resources, use the following code in your theme’s functions.php:

function saotn_removeQueryStrings( $src ) {
    if( strpos( $src, '?ver=' ) )
        $src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
    return $src;
}
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'saotn_removeQueryStrings', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'saotn_removeQueryStrings', 10, 2 );

As for the Facebook like-box, try to find the javascript somewhere in your theme. It looks like:

<script>(function(d, s, id) {
              var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
              if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
              js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
              js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
              fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
            }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

Now, before js.src =, add: js.async=true;. That’ll make the Facebook like box load asynchronously. Try to do the same for Twitter:

<script
  src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"
  type="text/javascript">
</script>

needs to have a defer or async:

<script
  src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"
  type="text/javascript" defer>
</script>

The Google AdSense plugin should do its job good, but haven’t looked into it.

After making changes to files, clear your WPSC cache ??

thnx bro but as you can see it still shows up the version.

[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.droidopedia.com/wp-includes/js/wp-embed.min.js?ver=4.4.2"></script>

??

I think you’re looking at your browser cache, because I don’t see the ?ver=:

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.droidopedia.com/wp-includes/js/wp-embed.min.js'></script>

Clear your browser cache and do a hard refresh, that should fix that ??
