Optimize your Images:-<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nImages are important to have them optimized,It is essential part of every website There are few things regarding your images that you should have in mind when developing your WordPress site:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4a) Do not upload big images and then scale them with HTML.Use images with the proper size. Make sure that your images are not bigger than the size you’re actually displaying them in.<\/p>\n
4b) Smush<\/strong> your images. Smushing them will remove all the additional data from your photos – creation date, camera used for the photo, GPS coordinates, etc. There is a “plugin” that does that for you called WP Smush.it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n4c) Use Sprites for your themes. Using sprites is a CSS technique that uses a single image to show multiple design elements on your pages. This way instead of loading dozens of small images,your site will open a single one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step5:\u00a0<\/span>Minify your JavaScript and CSS files :-<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nMinifying your CSS and JavaScript files means that all the unnecessary data from them like double spaces, empty new lines, comments, etc. will be removed from the files lowering their size. There are many online tools that you can use for free to minify your files. In addition, if you’re using the W3 Total Cache plugin, it has an option to automatically minify your theme’s CSS and JS files.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step6:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Leverage browser caching :-<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\nIt means that you can specify for how long your visitors’ browsers should cache your images, CSS, JS and flash files.However, if any of those resources is cached, your server will notify the visitor’s browser and the cached content will be replaced with the new one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can add the following line to “.htaccess” file of wordpress.<\/p>\n
\r\nExpiresActive On\r\nExpiresByType image\/jpg \"access 1 year\"\r\nExpiresByType image\/jpeg \"access 1 year\"\r\nExpiresByType image\/gif \"access 1 year\"\r\nExpiresByType image\/png \"access 1 year\"\r\nExpiresByType text\/css \"access 1 month\"\r\nExpiresByType application\/pdf \"access 1 month\"\r\nExpiresByType application\/x-javascript \"access 1 month\"\r\nExpiresByType application\/javascript \"access 1 month\"\r\nExpiresByType application\/x-shockwave-flash \"access 1 month\"\r\nExpiresByType image\/x-icon \"access 1 year\"\r\nExpiresDefault \"access 2 days\"\r\n<\/em>\r\n<\/pre>\nStep7: Optimize your WordPress Database:-<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nIt is essential to optimize the wordpress database from time to time.Every time your web application runs a database query, the database will look through all the rows in your table to find those that match your request.A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of operations in a table<\/p>\n
