To optimize a WordPress site, essential steps include using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to reduce loading times, enabling browser caching to store local copies of the site, and installing cache plugins to serve static files more efficiently. Additionally, it is necessary to manage the trash system and enable Gzip compression to minimize file sizes before sending to users. These strategies are crucial for improving performance, especially for sites with high traffic.

2. To run your small WordPress blog or a high traffic
WordPress installation, you need to optimize your
WordPress site.
In the current web scenario, more than 80% websites
are built on WordPress. When a website gets launched,
its optimization becomes an important concern for
every web developer for effective WordPress
Development.

4. How You Can Optimize Your WordPress Site?
There are a few steps for optimizing your
website given as:-

5. 1) Using CDN(Content Delivery Network)
Each WordPress website is hosted in a data center
anywhere in the world. If your site’s visitor location is far
from the data center then it will automatically increase
the loading time of your site page. But CDN resolves this
issue by utilizing a large number of data centers in the
world.

7. 2) Enable Browser Caching
Browser caching if enabled allows internet users to
speed up the loading time of their favorite websites by
storing a cached copy of your website locally. This
reduces repeated calls to the server and thus saves a
user from downloading the same file again.

9. 3) Properly install cache plugin
Installing a cache plugin to your WordPress site makes
your site faster. For this, you can install W3 Total Cache
or WP Super Cache or WP Fastest cache. Cache plugins
publish static HTML files rather than dynamic files. It
reduces server access for static resources, MySQL
database access, HTTP requests and a no. of PHP requests.

11. 4) Empty Trash system
Whenever a piece of content(comment, page, media, post)
is deleted from the WordPress, it is sent to trash system.
From here only, the content can be restored or deleted
permanently.

13. 5) Enable the Gzip Compression
Enable compression via .htaccess. For most people
reading this, compression is enabled by adding some
code to a file called .htaccess on their web host/server.
Website gzip compression makes it possible to reduce the
file size of a web file (like HTML, PHP, CSS and Javascript
files) to about 30% or less of its original size before these
files get sent to the browser of a user.
