let’s understand how to do WordPress Speed Optimization. before starting know that it is not so important to have a 100% speed-optimized website, if it is 90 or more in PageSpeed Insights it is perfect and you do not need to delete plugins or decrease the quality of images to have 100%.
how I optimize the WordPress website
When I need to optimize the website I first check images, plugins, and builder, this is the easiest and cheapest way to check and optimize the website, then we can check hosting, add some plugins, and CDN.
let’s optimize images
Don’t keep PNG, JPG, and other types change all of them to WEBP this is the format that Google likes most, (check more about WEBP at developers.google.com). photopea.com will help you to change the format, here you can cut, resize, and change it to WEBP, you don’t need an image that has a 2,000px width keep it between 800px to 1,000px, your images should be less than 100 KB and this is very important.
1) drag and drop your image here or click on “file” and “open”
2) Click on “file” and then “Export as” and select .Webp
Check and clean plugins
WordPress has a lot of free plugins yes they can be helpful but every plugin has an impact on page speed time, From time to time check your plugins and remove all inactive plugins. Check and keep only useful plugins.
Optimize your builder
Builders by default have a lot of functions that we will never use, I always turn off that function I have one post about How to Optimize Elementor check it.
Hosting, CDN, and plugins for WordPress website.
There is a lot of hosting for WordPress but I prefer Rocket.net this is the best hosting for me, it is a bit expensive $30/per month but it works well, whenever I create a website I use Rocket.net (this is an honest review I don’t have an affiliate or anything else with Rocket).
If you are using Rocket for hosting you can install WP-Rocke for free (which is $59), go to the Rocket.net dashboard, and click on “Manage”
Then navigate to “Plugins” and click “Install Plugin”
You can fully optimize your website by using WP Rocket you can add lazy loading, remove unnecessary CSS, and JS, and add cash to the website and a lot of other things. This is a YouTube Video about WP-Rocket.
The best CDN that I like is Cloudflare.
Rocket Hosting is giving us Cloudflare CDN, which is helping our website load better, and it is included in our hosting plan.

F.A.Q.
No, achieving a 100% score is not necessary. A score of 90 or above is perfect, and you don’t need to delete plugins or reduce image quality to reach 100%.
Google recommends WEBP as it helps improve website performance. WEBP images are smaller in size and load faster, which enhances user experience and speed optimization.
By compressing and resizing images, you reduce their file size, which decreases the time it takes for your website to load. Converting images to formats like WEBP can further enhance performance.
A high-quality hosting provider ensures fast server response times, better uptime, and optimal performance for your website.
Yes, too many plugins, especially poorly coded or unnecessary ones, can increase load times. It’s important to use only essential plugins and regularly clean up inactive ones.
Yes, lightweight and well-optimized themes result in faster loading times. Avoid themes with excessive features and scripts you don’t need.
Yes, many optimization tools are user-friendly and require minimal technical expertise. However, for advanced optimization, you may need professional assistance.

Someone added their website URL to my site thinking it would make for good advertising or a valuable backlink. Honestly, it’s pointless. I only approved this comment as an example to highlight it.
