How did we achieve such speedy results for this WordPress website?
So here at Acclaim, we follow specific guidelines to ensure a speedy site, that is also highly optimized. Some of those guidelines include:
- Firstly, we set up WP Rocket
- Next, we use one of the best hostings available, Cloudways. Use our link to 👉 set up your next website 👈 and save some money.
- Finally, we combine the WP Rocket setup with the Breeze plugin setup from Cloudways, which helped draw the final result
Our key principle ✨ is loading only the packages with styles and scripts needed at the moment. This principle allows the user to get mainly what they require in terms of content. This is usually in the first section (above the fold).
Also, we ensure to minify everything possible, such as media files, JavaScript and CSS files along with HTML files. This way the files are not heavy and will load much faster.
