#1 Get a self-hosting –
This is the first step you should do to improve your
blog performance. I already implemented it two
years back. If you feel slowness or slow
performance of your blog, this is the first thing you
must do immediately. A free domain or blog provider
does not provide you with enough bandwidth to take
the load from the users.

• #2 Make your Blog Responsive
• I noticed my blog was fine with desktop devices. But it was opening
slow in mobile devices in phones and tabs. It is very much essential to
make your blog load faster with a slow connection in smaller devices.
• I then realized some of the components like pictures, videos, menus
etc were not optimized for smaller devices and hence, it was loading
slow on smaller devices. I optimized those components and make
them responsive to improve performance. Please read below post to
understand How to make your blog responsive.

#3 Optimize images –
After getting reports from Pingdom, I also noticed I
have some images which are not compressed and
takes a longer time to load. You always need to make
sure you compress the images to reduce it to
minimum size to make sure your site takes less time to
load.

#4 Use third party tool like Cloudflare to accelerate web pages –
• CloudFlare protects and provides faster page load for your blog. Once
you join this tool, it will take care to manage traffic to your blog.
• It also uses cache to load static content faster. On an average, you can
see around 20%-30% jump in performance after using Cloudflare.

As a normal WordPress platform user, we often use too many
plugins for our blogs. Most of them are really are useful but do you
know using too many plugins may bottleneck your site.

#6 Removed some Ads –
I used three Adsense banner ads in my blog. After the scan, I found it is
consuming some bandwidth to load those ads. I remove some ads and
now I have only one Adsense ad on my blog. It actually improved the
performance of my blog.

#7 Use WordPress plugin to automate the Cache –
I started using plugin W3 total cache. It takes care of all your cache that
includes general cache, database cache, object cache, minify, browser
cache. Once I enabled this plugin, I felt a drastic increase in
performance. It is very easy to use and implement. If you have not used
it, start using it today.

11. Conclusion

performance to create a better user experience.
• Make sure you optimize your blog in every possible way.
• You need to regularly work on your blog to pinpoint the bottleneck
and slow performance.
