Top 5 Wordpress Plugins To Speed Up Your Wordpress Website!

Key Takeaways

welcome back to their exciting video everyone my name is Darrell and today I'm gonna talking about how you can speed up your WordPress website using caching plugins and other various plugins as well so in this video I'm gonna go through each plug-in explained to you what they do and how they will speed up your WordPress websites so first up is WP rockets now WP rocket is probably one of the best plugins among this list the reason why is because it's an all-in-one solution so for example it will do caching it will do lazy load it will compress CSS files it will optimize your database all in one so right here you can kind of see what they do and they can kind of compare it against other plugins and I've used up you rocket in the past and I know that they are probably among the best because you can install a lot of free plug-ins that will do what this does but you're gonna have to install a lot of free plug-ins equals slow website a lot of plugins but with empty rocket it kind of does everything in one solution so be sure to check out dumpy rocket again it cleans up your cache or database it has lazy load all sorts of really cool features that will actually make your site run a lot faster and another really great plug-in it's probably and it's well known in the community is WP smoosh by W mu dev now what this plug-in does is that it'll actually smoosh all your images and compress it's because when you upload images they slow down your website a lot I'm sure you get you might get like images from Shutterstock and then you just you stop them on it's like oh wow this is actually a 20 megabyte picture it's really gonna slow down your websites now I do want to talk about the pro version so if you there's a free version of course and the free version works just fine but if you want to kind of go a little bit more you know you want to get you know advanced and you really want to see like what it can do I'm gonna show you what the pro version does right now I have the pro version because you know I use it a lot and you know it's it really it makes a difference so this is the smush Pro and again this is actually available for free on wordpress.org in the wordpress depository repository and then right here you can kind of see the pro version now what the pro version offers that the free version doesn't is that it has like super smush whenever you upload an image it will automatically compress it for you and optimize it to make sure that it's not huge so that's a really cool one right there it will you know it'll resize all your images it'll also convert PNG cja pegs now pngs are a little bit bigger than jpeg so if you activate this it's gonna go ahead and just convert all of them automatically in your database to PNG s to JPEGs so I mean instead of actually doing it all from scratch you know that would be a lot of work to kind of redownload everything and reupload the PNG zouri just install the pro version it's like 30 bucks or something like that but you also get access to they have a whole lot of plugins out there so if you do want to go ahead and purchase this one as well there are links in the description below I'm not an affiliate for them didn't have an affiliate program I don't make any money if you if you purchase their products but it's still just among the best product out there for image smushing next is a WP fastest cache down this is way better than the w3 one you know I've used w3 total cache I've used super cache and I said from the start that WP fastest cache was the best and they even have a comparison chart you know right here you can see W fastest cache against their competitors and you know they combine CSS they combined J s and a lot of plugins out there don't do that like w3 total cache does not do that now they do have a premium version as well so the the premium version again is you know it's it's it's worth getting you know the only thing I wish they had oh they do have lazy load so they do have lazy load but do they actually clean up your database ah they do not clean up your database unlike WP rockets so it just depends on you you know if you think that Dave's rocket is a better bet for you or you think that P fastest cache is a better bet for you then go with either one but the free version of the duppy fastest cache it's really good you know I use it on my website because it really helps speed up the website and clean it all up clean ups all the garbage you know so next is WP optimized now again w rocket does have this feature but if looking for a free alternative you can always go with WP optimized and this will actually clean your database so by default when you start making change and everything you leave revisions you leave drafts and it creates a lot of clunk and judder in your database so this right here will actually optimize it it actually has a pro version I believe and they have like automatic weekly clean ups to make sure that your database is optimized and it'll dramatically speed up your websites so be sure to check out w optimize you know a lot of people don't know about databases and you know it is kind of you know a touchy subject because most people just like oh just clear the cache I'm sure you've heard that term before but a lot of it has to deal with the database you know from that regard so be sure to check out WP optimize and one of the other ones is lazy load by WP rockets now I did mention that W rocket is already included in the pro version however if you don't if you can't afford the pro version DP rocket which I highly recommend just go ahead and get the free one right here so this right here will actually it will actually display the images a little later so whenever you go onto websites and then you kind of like see the images pop up slowly that's lazy load and what that does that it helps the server kind of release information as needed instead of actually just trying to put it all at once you know causing a slower website so the image optimization is a key factor when you're optimizing your websites lazy loads are really good one you know there are other plugins out there I just think that this one right here is good for lazy load but you can do your own research on lazy load there's like maybe four or five other plugins out there that do the same thing right here to optimize these are actually the same creators of updraft so we know the reputable company and you know that these plugins like they're not crappy you know they're not going anywhere so I know when you you search for plugins out there some of the developers just disappear on you you're just like nowhere they go it's like see you later and they're gone but the team over there at WP optimizer I'm sorry updraft if they've been around for quite a bit and they have a lot of like backup plugins cleaning plugins etc dighby fastest cache they were among my top ten plugins list that I have because they're really it's a great plugin you know I noticed the difference when I cleared the cache and even when I call a hosting company and they're saying and download this plug-in don't tell the other ones it used to be w3 total cache but you know new competitors come out they make better products they see their competitors they kind of build on it so that's why I believe that WP fastest cache is better and of course you must get this one you know this website or this plug-in can just really make make your make your site just tighten date it's just it's it's a really good plugin I have the pro version of it because it's just so good and then of course if you rocket which is I think among the best plugins out there it just does everything for you you know clean up your database your caching it minimizes CSS cleans your database all the stuff and has ya lazy load as well so it's like the all-in-one solution it is around $39 for each website if I do have a coupon code I will put it in the description below but you can go ahead and purchase it below if you decide to purchase it or not let me just go and give you the backend of it really quick because I use it on my websites right here WP rockets alright then they're also telling me like my server information like what my PHP is I'm on PHP 7 right here so they have like you know mobile caching user caching file optimization as well I'm using another plugin so it's basically telling me it's like hey - another plugin off before you activate this one right here we have lazy load you have a pre loader as well you have some advanced rules you have some optimization for data bases like you know the spam comments which I should leeks I get I get spam comments all the time and people try to sell me dick pills and viagra and all this stuff do like what is wrong with people I'm just thinking to myself how much money can you possibly make like selling this trash you know like Russian sex toys and just like what like what is wrong with you people like the stuff you get on the Internet is just is just funny and like after I look at it after a while I just I just laugh I'm just like what is wrong with you people dude right here there's some add-ons you can actually get as well and then also they have tools they also have a separate service that allows you to allows them to kind of come in your website and fix something so if the plugin doesn't do it and you're still having problems they do have a service where they'll actually go ahead and fix your website for you I believe it is somewhere it's there somewhere it's there somewhere once you purchase the plug-in they offer it in your dashboard so be sure to check out WP rocket as well now I hope this video was helpful if it was helpful go ahead and give it a like go ahead and give it a
