How to Speed Up Your WordPress Site to Under 2 Seconds
Page speed directly affects SEO rankings, user experience, and conversion rates. Here’s a practical guide to getting your WordPress site loading in under 2 seconds.
Use a lightweight theme
Heavy page builders add dozens of HTTP requests. Kadence Theme scores 90+ on PageSpeed Insights out of the box.
Enable caching
A good caching plugin serves pre-built HTML instead of running PHP on every request. WP Rocket and LiteSpeed Cache are the best options.
Optimize your images
Images are typically 60–80% of page weight. Use WebP format and lazy-load images below the fold. Imagify automates this.
Use a CDN
A Content Delivery Network serves your static assets from servers closest to your visitors. Cloudflare’s free plan is excellent for most sites.
