How To Speed Up Your Wordpress

First go to: http://www.checkgzipcompression.com

 

Yoast SEO -> edit files

or access .htaccess directly

 

Paste under:

# END WordPress

 

# compress text, html, javascript, css, xml:

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

AddType x-font/otf .otf

AddType x-font/ttf .ttf

AddType x-font/eot .eot

AddType x-font/woff .woff

AddType image/x-icon .ico

AddType image/png .png

 

then paste:

 

for htaccess protection

 

<Files .htaccess>

order allow,deny

deny from all

</Files>

 

 

 

for wp-config protection

 

 

<Files wp-config.php>

order allow,deny

deny from all

</Files>

 

this has nothing to do with boosting your websites speed, but is essential for your website security. Since many of you don´t know about this, I decided to throw it in as an off topic remark.

 

 

Enable smush.it, compress all files, disable

don´t use if you are photographer etc, compresses them too much
