Why is caching crucial to site speed?
Optimising site speed is one of the most important issues in WordPress server administration. Caching is a technique that allows you to store copies of your pages, which reduces the loading time of your site. Working in Poznan, I have noticed that many clients are unaware of the impact of caching on their site's performance. Implementing an effective cache system can significantly improve the user experience.
Types of cache in WordPress
There are several types of cache in WordPress server administration:
- Browser cache: stores static page elements (images, CSS files) on the user's computer.
- Server cache: stores whole pages or parts of pages on the server.
- Cache CDN (Content Delivery Network): distributes copies of the site on servers in multiple geographical locations.
Which cache tools are worth installing?
There are many cache management tools available on the market for WordPress server administration. In my practice, I recommend a few proven plugins:
- W3 Total Cache: a comprehensive tool that supports various types of cache.
- WP Super Cache: simpler to use, ideal for smaller sites.
- Autoptimize: focuses on optimising CSS, JavaScript and HTML files, which also affects loading times.
Server cache configuration
In WordPress server administration, configuring the cache on the server is a key step in optimising the site. Here are some basic settings:
- Enable GZIP compression
- Setting 'Expires' headers
- Database cache configuration
- Establishment of TTL (Time to Live) limits for different types of data
Performance monitoring and testing
Reliable administration of WordPress servers does not end with setting up the cache. It is important to monitor and test performance. Regular testing with tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix allows you to continuously assess the improvements and what effects they have.
Testing for server load is also key. Stress testing can help determine how a server handles a sudden increase in traffic, which is essential in dynamic sites.
Common problems and solutions
In WordPress server administration, common problems are:
- Incorrect configuration of .htaccess files
- Conflicts between plug-ins
- Too many plug-ins affecting the cache
In the event of problems, I recommend removing and reinstalling the malfunctioning plugins or contacting the server administrator for more advanced diagnostics.
Whatever the scale of the problem, I offer technical support and advice. My services make WordPress server administration less complicated and more efficient.
Recommendations for further optimisation
It is also worth considering other techniques, such as file minification, image optimisation and HTTP/2 implementation, which can help to further speed up the site.
