Usually WordPress<\/a> is a very fast system. However, for various reasons this can change from one second to the next. If you have slow WordPress? Here are some reasons why this happens. Don't despair! Relax, take a seat and take a look at this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look closely, this may have happened long before you noticed it, but you didn't pay attention to the signs. This problem occurs both on the front-end and in the admin panel of the website. Have you experienced this problem and didn't pay attention to it? Well, you need to take some corrective actions because it affects SEO in a negative way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is my WordPress website slow?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are one of those who are starting with the use of WordPress and you are not so experienced in the reasons why WordPress suddenly gets slow, here are some of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very heavy site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you have a website you have to be clear about how much your website weighs in total. A heavy website makes functions and plugins not work properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to keep track of each page. Don't you know how to do it? If you go to Google search engine you can find many free tools to determine the weight. One recommendation is to use Pingdom<\/a> or Google Page Speed Insights<\/a>With this tool you can check the load times and weight of each of them, even from other 3G and 4G mobile devices. You will also be able to see which files are the heaviest and what actions you can take to correct this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the weight exceeds 1MB, find a way to compress some resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very heavy images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Images usually make WordPress and our website in general load very slow. The weight of images can be easily reduced. You can first try compressing some images and exporting them in jpg format. Then, check the weight and you will notice that it gets faster and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a website with many images, using the Pingdom tool or any other similar tool will show you which are the heaviest and you can apply the corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, once you fix each image, always try to upload optimized images. These plugins that we are going to give you next, can help you compress the images when uploading them to your WordPress website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP Smush<\/a> Smush is a very easy to use plugin, as well as TinyPNG<\/a> that will optimize the images when uploading them to WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you think having slow WordPress lento<\/strong> syndrome is bad, having slow hosting is worse. This is because you are going to have to invest money in order to solve it. If you don't, everything goes down the toilet: positioning, conversions and configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to solve this problem you have to start from the origin, \"the hosting\". If your hosting meets all these requirements you are safe from major problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
