I’ve been struggling with my WordPress site’s performance, and I’ve already optimized images and tried basic caching. However, the loading speed is still lagging, especially on mobile. I’m hesitant to add too many plugins, so I’m looking for deeper optimizations. What else can I do to significantly speed up my site without relying on more plugins?
I would suggest migrating your website on EloClouds and let them do it for you, as it include in their hosting. Otherwise try use WP Rocket but beware to configure it so that you don’t break your website.
Since you’ve already optimized images and caching, but the site is still slow, especially on mobile, here are some deeper optimizations without adding plugins. First, consider upgrading your hosting or using a CDN like Cloudflare to speed up content delivery. Clean up your database by removing old data like post revisions, and manually minify your CSS and JavaScript to reduce page size. Enabling lazy loading for images and videos can also improve loading times, especially for mobile users. These tweaks should help boost your site’s performance without the extra plugin bloat.
