⚡Speed up your WordPress website INSTANTLY with this plugin (with 1 click)⚡
Tutorial Hosting
What is that party people today in this video I’ll be showing you guys a game changing plugin that will boost your website Speed and Performance with one click I have more than 50 WordPress plugins installed on my website and I’m getting a 99 page speed score on the
Google page speed insights I’m also getting a 97 page speed score on GT metrics and a 95 performance grade on tools.pingdom so I’ve been using this plugin on my website for about two to three months me and my developer we were trying out other various plugins and we
Came across one plugin that just really just blew us out of the water and after installing this plug-in we never had to worry about performance or optimization because this plugin does it all and you’ve probably seen videos like this before but this plugin is actually quite unique it offers all the optimization
Settings that you can possibly need for your website so let me show you guys my website and then let me show you guys our page speed score so here is my website and as you guys can tell I have 52 active plugins installed now I know
I’m kind of a hypocrite because a lot of my videos I tell people to only have 10 plugins installed but if you guys have good hosting you guys can have a lot of plugins installed if you guys have good hosting so uh you can see that we have
52 active rights and a lot of these are ACF extensions I mean we’re running a large operation here we’re selling uh 250 templates on this website so we need to have a lot of various plugins to make that work you know and here you can see
That we have all these are active right now I’m going to go ahead and scroll up here and I’m going to refresh this page I don’t want you guys to think I’m like cheating or anything like we actually have all these plugins installed on the website and we’re using it so that is
The amount of plugins that we have installed right and here is the page inside score for my website so we have a 99 and for mobile we have a 92. we do have a little bit of work to do but you know guys I mean 92 is still a win right
We can’t get really like anal in one I want 100 for everything you know it’s like you’ll never get that don’t don’t you don’t want to go there and then for GT metrics we have a 97 metrics grade for GT metrics and for the tools.pingdom we have a 95 performance grade
So what we’re going to do in this video is we’re going to go to a demo website here and we’re going to install this free plug-in I’ll walk you guys through it I’ll show you guys some of the options we’ll all have fun and then you guys will have a blazing fast website
Now I do have this plugin installed on my website and I have been using it for about three months so I can say with confidence that this is a really solid plug-in there is a replica plug-in for this or a service that does something similar but I’ve kind of part ways with
That plug-in and I’ll talk more about that service a little bit later near the end of the video a little bit of drama you know but we’ll get there don’t worry so let’s go ahead now and go to the dashboard and let me introduce you guys
To this free plugin it’s actually not as popular and I think like those are the best ones right the ones that are kind of hidden those are like the ones that are up and coming you know and once they get really popular they start you know
They get expensive and they do a bunch of like shady stuff but that’s just how it is so let’s go over here to plugins and we’ll go to add new and the plugin that we’re going to look for is it’s it’s actually kind of a long
Name so I’m just going to type in Excel right Accel all right and here is the plugin that we are going to install it is called the seraphinite accelerator turn on site wait wait turn on site high speed to be attractive for people and search engines
All right so let’s do that now we’re going to click on install now and then we’re going to activate the plugin all right and once we install the plugin you guys might get some error notices that’s because we need to configure the options in the plugin so let’s now scroll down
Just keep scrolling oh no it’s right here accelerator here I’ll just click on accelerator now what’s really cool is they have a setup Wizard and everything but the first thing that you guys will need to do is you guys will need to download the free extended plug-in
Version of this plugin I don’t know why that is but that’s just how they do business so let’s just go ahead and click on the download the free extended plugin version and it’s going to take you to their website and all you got to do here is click on download for free
And then you’re going to take this plugin and then replace it right so let’s go ahead and allow it here I’ll go back over here and now we’re going to upload that same plugin and all it’s going to do is just going to replace it I think there are some
Weird WordPress loophole or some maybe rule that WordPress had where they said you can’t you know have the plugin with this feature so they make people go to the websites very similar to like themes and starter templates and stuff like that so now I’m going to upload that
Plugin so I click on choose file here is the plugin open install now okay so now you’ll see that it wants to replace it and right here I’ll click on replace current with uploaded click on go to plugin installer all right now we’re ready to go through
The setup wizard so right here let’s click on begin setup wizard now the first thing is what kind of functionality do you need so there is the full functionality this includes optimization of all of your HTML or lazy load inline CSS it can reduce the image sizes and replace them with webp formats
Or if you just want to use this for a basic caching plugin you guys can do that as well but why would you guys do that right let’s just go with the full functionality you know like what are you stupid so let’s go ahead and click on
The full functionality here and click on next and then right here you can run a little diagnosis to make sure that you are meeting the specific server requirements like maximum execution time memory limits stuff like that if you guys are using any of my recommended hosting that
You guys are probably in the green if you guys are not well then you guys can go with siteground or name hero or hostinger I will leave a link to those hosts in the description below of this video so let me go ahead and just wait
For this really quick all right cool so you guys will see that the plugin should work correctly right they do have this one small notification saying you can change your memory limit to two gigs but that is actually really high I think 512 512 7868 is optimal anything more than
That’s that’s a little too high in my book so let’s go ahead now and click on next now that we have met all the requirements all right so now we have the optimization mode we have always a high score and then we have always up-to-date contents now if you guys are
Making changes to your website every day like you’re adjusting prices or you’re constantly you know adding stuff to your website and changing dates and stuff like that then the always up-to-date content would be the optimal setting for you if you guys are an agency and you guys make changes to your website maybe
Once a week or something like that then always high score would be a better fit for you so I don’t make a lot of changes on websites obviously I probably you know maybe make a change on my website like once a week or something like that
So I’m going to select the always a high score and click on next and then here we have the what is the performance of the site’s hosting so if you guys are using something like shared hosting then this would be good for you if you guys are
You know using a dedicated server or a virtual dedicated server then medium or high would be a better fit for you but I think most of us would be using just like cloud or shared because I think that’s like ideal for most websites so right here I’ll click on low and then
Click on next is the layout of the site Universal for all types of devices now for most people you’re going to select no this is referring to like static websites or it looks the same on all devices and I don’t think that’s the case with most websites today most people optimize
Their websites for mobile and tablet so if you guys obviously have a optimized website for various devices you guys would select no and then right here I’ll click on next now if you guys have a CDN you guys can link it here now I actually contacted siteground about this and I asked you
Know hey guys where is my CDN URL and they told me it was just the URL of my website I could be wrong here but I was on live chat with uh siteground and they told me that this option here they weren’t even sure of so they told me
Just to put the URL of the domain all right so that’s my best advice I’m just repeating what they said and I’m reporting it to you guys all right so right here we’ll click on next now it’s saying now the whole site optimization can be run run optimization on all Sites
Pages here click on finish and just like that your website is now fully optimized with the best optimization settings now there’s some other options that you guys can Tink around with to really push the limits of the optimization settings for this plugin so we have five different
Other options you have the cache the scripts the CDN content exclusion views and users now most of these options that are checked and unchecked are probably the most optimized uh boxes to check you guys can mess around with these but just be cautious because some of these can
Break your website if you’re not careful for example like the broadly compression right here now the Broly compression is a more optimized way of compressing files but it does have more strain on the server so for that specific reason it is left unchecked and honestly if you
Even you guys check it I don’t think it’s going to make like a huge difference on your website like we’re talking about kilobytes here so it’s really not like that huge of a deal then you also have revalidation where this is checked as well and this is going to
Continually update the website as the users and other search engine Bots are calling your website so it is left checked because that will give users a better visiting experience and also we have browser cache where this is just going to kill the cache after a specific amount of time it’s just going to
Completely get rid of it so this is always enabled and then here if you guys do have a CDN or something like that you guys can enter this information here for your CDN and then below that we have like the license if you guys want to
Upgrade to the pro version and they are spamming us with some other offers but hey that’s okay because they gave us a really cool plugin all right and then also we have these scripts and styles here is where you guys can get really anal and really further optimize your
Website depending on what you want to do so here you guys can see we can defer non-critical CSS and you can actually set a specific second timeout if you want to go that route you can also defer to deep Hooks and you can access preloading now preloading is essentially
When a user comes on your website you can actually turn this on and the plugin is going to try to pre-load the entire website for that user now if you guys do decide to do that it’s going to have a lot of training your server and a lot of
Resources will be used so if you guys do have a really really strong server and you want top-notch performance you can check that but for most of us you’ll probably leave that unchecked like myself I don’t have that option checked because it is a lot of resources that
Your server is going to be using and then if we scroll down here oh they also have fast loading now also if you guys are not sure what these options are you guys can click on the little little question mark thing there and what this
Is going to do it’s going to take you to that specific section and it’s going to tell you exactly what it does so for example it improves the script loading speed by a little bit but might be compatible with some scripts so it should be used carefully so essentially
What can happen here is some scripts my conflict with others that might lead to crashes so if you guys do want fast loading or early preloading you guys can check that but if your site’s getting weird or something like that just leave it unchecked right and if we scroll down and then below
That we have some more optimization settings now if you guys are not a developer or if you guys are not familiar with CSS just leave this the Wade is if you guys are Developer and you want to either inline your CSS or if you want to group and combine it with
Critical CSS you guys can do without here me personally these are really like Nitty Gritty options and I think these really won’t have a significant impact on your website’s performance I mean CSS is extremely thin you know it’s really uh it’s not a lot of kilobytes loaded on
Your websites and then also you have some further customization options for fonts and stuff like that also we have early preloading which is like we talked about earlier but that’s in beta so just be mindful about that and once you’re done with those settings we’ll click on
Save changes as you guys can tell the plugin developer did a really good job at leaving specific settings unchecked because they’re just really not needed and those small modifications can really have a big impact on your websites including breaking it so just be mindful here we have content
Where it’s minifying the HTML this will actually early paint is actually when it will try to load the FCP first so like the largest part of your website it’s going to really try to optimize and load that part first so that your website will have a better FCP score when you
Run it through the Google page bit insights and also in visitors visit your websites it’ll look much smoother and next we have the images now this is a very interesting section now most of you guys when you load images on your website they’re probably either jpeg or
PNG and yeah those are probably the two most common this plugin will actually create replicas of webp format files and they’ll replace that and that will speed up the websites on average WP images are about 25 to 30 percent uh smaller than PNG and JPEG and as a result the website
Should load a little bit faster but you guys can go a step further here and you guys can further reduce the quality of those images now if your images start to get blurry and stuff like that then maybe you should readjust the qual quality of the images but here I have
Mine set to 80 and going through the website it looks identical to what it did before except now it reduced the quality and it also reduced the amount of kilobytes on those images resulting in a faster website and here we’ll scroll down so avif is also another image type but
Um I’m not going to enable it because webp is just as optimal and um yeah I’m just not going to go there and next we have lazy load now in case you guys are total noobs and don’t know what lazy load is lazy load will essentially only load specific elements
When a user actually Scrolls down to those specific elements for example if you have a bunch of images at the bottom of your website there is no need to load those images because the user never scrolled there so if you have lazy node enabled it’s going to have less strain
On the server and that’s going to result in less server request resulting in a faster website now this is a really cool feature right here and this is the corrections for lazy load scripts now this plugin will actually embed specific scripts onto these elements and it’s
Going to add lazy load for the specific elements and that’s really cool because lazy load on average is usually only for images and a lot of the elements will still load on the page regardless however this plugin will say no we will also add lazy load for the smart slider
For the tabs developmentor for the video developmenter a lot of really cool options here that can further increase the speed of your websites I thought that was a really cool feature so uh yeah once I make those changes just click on Save changes and we’re done
All right and one of the last options is the exclusion views and users now essentially this is just for like specific users if you want to have specific caching options or optimization settings for specific users this is actually in beta right now and I actually went to their website and I was
Reading about it and they basically said that they recommend that you contact them if you want to enable this feature and to my understanding I believe this is going to have specific caching options for specific users which to me seems like too much you know it’s like
Who’s gonna do that but I mean hey man there’s people out there so uh yeah once you guys are done with that we’ll go ahead and save all the changes and your website should be loading very fast now let’s go ahead and take a look at the
Website here and as you guys can tell like the images all look great the images are the same except now they’re being loaded as webp images and we even produce the quality of it but our websites will be loading much faster now so over here we have the domain and
Right now we are at a 77 for desktop and a 48 for the uh mobile so let’s go ahead now and rerun that and just see where we’re at right so right here I’ll click on analyze and let’s run the website through the page speed insights and look
At that so we now have a 96 performance grade on Google page speed insights and for mobile we have a 93 performance so you guys can see that this was a significant upgrade just by installing this plugin now guys I’ll be very honest um I personally use this on my website
So I’m not just trying to sell you guys crap that I don’t use like no I really have this on my website it’s done wonders for me and that’s why I’m recommending it because we’ve just seen great performance on my website it’s done really you know a good job for us
So that’s why I’m recommending this specific plugin now also let’s talk about the pro version right so we did talk about the free version and we showed you guys how to install the free version now the pro version there’s nothing different in the pro version so
All that’s going to do is basically say if you guys go over a specific amount of traffic then you guys will have to upgrade to the pro but even the pro version is pretty generous so you’ll see if we scroll down right here that all of
The features are in the free and the pro the only difference here is the page view limits so if you guys do go over 5 000 page views a month it’s going to fall back on just being a caching plug-in and it’s going to stop optimizing your websites but this plugin
Is actually pretty affordable it’s not expensive and there are some other things that it’s going to do in the free version like it’s going to add a banner at the way bottom of your website and then also there are promotions in the back end like you guys saw earlier now
Let me show you guys the banner because people are saying well there’s a banner like how big is that it’s actually really really small and now I’m logged out and if we scroll to the bottom of the website you guys will see that there
Is a tiny Banner right here so it is a very small Banner you know and um they got to make money too guys you know everyone here is trying to make money that’s why these guys are making this uh plug-in but the banner is actually quite
Small as you guys can tell so uh that is the plugin in a nutshell I think it’s a great plug-in to add on your websites now there are other plugins and services that have actually done something similar and that I’ve actually sort of backed trace and I don’t really
Recommend no more now another plugin that I’ve talked about in the past was the 10 web booster and you guys have probably seen me talk about this on my channel before now recently the 10 web booster limited the amount of pages it will optimize so it only optimizes up to
Five in the free version and also to use the product now you now need to have hosting on their platform but when they first created the plugin they allowed you to have unlimited pages and be hosted with anybody but as they grown in a user base they have started stripping
The features away which I didn’t like so if you guys are using this and you want or you know you’re using the free version and you’re looking for a replacement I would definitely recommend the Stefani accelerator I use it on my website and it’s worked wonders alright
Party People well thank you guys so much for watching this video make sure to install this plugin on your website it’ll really change the game of your websites and I’ll make it much more faster than probably what it is right now also there is a part two coming to
