Why is a WordPress audit so important?
A WordPress audit helps identify potential issues affecting your site's performance. You should **conduct a regular WordPress audit** to ensure your site is performing optimally. Potential issues that can be identified include:
- Media files that are too large and slow down the loading of the page
- Non-optimised plug-ins
- Database problems
- Security deficiencies
Steps to optimise WordPress
In order to realise an effective **a WordPress audit** and implement optimisation, a few key steps need to be followed:
1. Optimisation of images
Large image files can significantly increase page load times. I recommend using plugins such as Smush or Imagify, which automatically compress images without losing quality. As a result, pages load faster, improving **website performance** and user experience.
2. selection of a suitable cache plug-in
Cache plugins can significantly speed up page loading by storing some data in a cache. Popular plugins I recommend are WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache. They will make your site run more efficiently and your users will be happy with the loading speed.
Database optimisation
Another key aspect is database optimisation. Overloaded databases can slow down your site, so regularly cleaning it of unnecessary data is essential. This can be done with plugins such as WP-Optimize, which automatically remove unnecessary data and **improve site performance**.
Security and updates
Site security is an equally important aspect. Regularly updating WordPress, plugins and themes provides protection against known threats. It is also worth installing security plugins such as Wordfence, which offer additional layers of protection.
The most important steps to optimise your website
In summary, here are the key steps to take to optimise your WordPress site:
- Compression of images and media files using plug-ins
