Hello guys,
1) I would recommend the SiteGround hosting company (which is managed WordPress hosting and the support is really good) and you may use their built-in caching mechanisms that serves the static content directly from NGINX (SG Optimizer). For more info click
here. Supports PHP7.4. SG uses the Google Platform premium network. Supports CloudFlare and HTTP/2 web protocol.
2) GeneratePress s a fast, lightweight (less than 1MB zipped), mobile responsive WordPress theme so this is a great choice.
3) You should also do Image optimization. The great news is that there are some amazing WordPress image compression plugins you can use to automate the entire process. Here are some plugins I recommend:
- Imagify (lossy and lossless – optimizes images externally)
- WP Smush (lossy and lossless – optimizes images externally)
4) Also if you are familiar with SSH you can use the
WP-CLI functionality and more especially the
WP Profile package. The tool will help when dealing with slowly working WordPress instances.
