Wordpress Suggestion

[alex2k]

Sorry maybe off out topic.

Anyone could give suggestion to speed up website with Wordpress as CMS?
There are so many themes, free or paid.
But most of them sometimes make website more slow, because of many plugins to be installed and many other features that added.

So I need suggestion how to make Wordpress site more faster on loading.
Any tips that could be shared very welcome.

Thank you

1) Use Flatsome (tested with more than 60.000 ecommerce products) or better: use Hello Elementor blank theme and create your theme from the beggining with Elementor Pro.
2) Use W3 Total Cache -> Enabled page cache enhanced , Database cache: No , Object Cache: Yes (install Redis on server) , Browser Cache: Yes
3) Always write php snippets (scripts) on child theme (not on database , like WP Snippets)
4) Connect your domain with cloudflare and proxify all dns except the one for mail and ftp (for and ftp, generate lets encrypt ssl)
5) Be sure to have a nice vm hosting (a vps with 8 to 15 $ / month from hetzner should be fine. You can setup a virtualmin very easy: https://www.virtualmin.com/download/) and give some air to your installation with php settings: 500M Ram , 20M upload , 60 or 80s exec time , 5.000 or 10.000 vars.
6) For security always use Wordfence (even free) and if you want more: lock your folders with 0555 and your files with 0444 , except wp-content (inside wp-content , lock plugins and themes). That is all. And remember to check from time the abuseipdb.com for ip blacklisting and mxtoolbox.

There is more, like docker containers and kubernetes, but you don't need all that. Believe me, you only need 1 to 6.

That's all

Wow, thank you @lagiosman

How about CDN and image optimizing?
Are they help much?
