Speed up WordPress website

Freelancer project to improve the performance for Alan’s website.

website performance

The below shows the website performance based off of industry standard GTMetrix results.

On the left is the before report taken prior to starting the project. On the right is the report taken after I worked on the website. 

GTmetrix Grade: C

GTmetrix Grade: A

Performance Score: 67%

Performance Score: 99%

Structure Score: 80%

Structure Score: 99%

Fully Loaded Time: 4.7s

Fully Loaded Time: 1.3s

Total Page Size: 3.82MB

Total Page Size: 651kb

Total Page Requests: 72

Total Page Requests: 19

What we can deduce from the above information is that the website is now performing at its absolute peak. We have a Performance Score of 99% and a Structure Score of 99% – think of your website as a lemon and the work I’ve done was using a hydraulic press to squeeze out all of the juice. There really isn’t anything else we can do, it’s maxed out. Two 99% scores is probably the best result I’ve personally seen from a project I’ve worked on. The fully loaded time wasn’t cut in half like I said I would, instead it’s cut even further. In half would be a loading time of 2.35s, instead we’re at 1.3s! Not only that, before users were downloading almost 4MB of data to visit your site, that’s a lot! Now when they visit it’s barely over 500kbs, that means a very fast loading time on all devices!Â
