Optimization of website speed on WordPress (Porto)
Task:
The client's website was running on the heavy Porto theme and had low performance metrics due to high server load and unoptimized elements. It was necessary to improve performance and ensure stable operation under high traffic.
Completed works:
• Analysis of server configurations and adjustments to settings.
• Optimization of PHP and caching: configured OPcache, Redis, and Nginx microcache.
• Implemented a mechanism for serving static content directly, bypassing WordPress, which allowed avoiding the execution of heavy processes.
• Optimized Google Reviews shortcodes that significantly slowed down the reviews page.
• Conducted thorough testing and fixed identified bugs.
Result:
• Significant reduction in page load times.
• Increased Google PageSpeed Insights scores from "red" to the green zone (90+).
• Stable operation of the website even under increased loads.
