Here are some things PageSpeed will describe to optimize your site:
Avoiding redirects
It’s an error that usually happens a few times, but if it happens, you’ll need to consider how your website works overall.
Optimize your images and other resources
That is, make your images weigh less so that the page has less weight to load.
We use a tool to make images less KB: Squoosh. It is very simple to use,just insert the image and download the optimized one:
You can also compress website resources with GZIP.
Browser cache
Specify the browser cache. It’s an easy rule to follow. It will depend on the web server we use.
You’ll need to edit the .htaccess file.
But if you don’t know very well what we’re talking about, don’t worry because this element doesn’t usually fail. Since the TLLs demanded by PageSpeed are very low, and you will have no errors.
Lowers server response time
If you improve the server response time, you will reduce the loading times of the contents on the website.
According to PageSpeed, the ideal would be no more than 0’2 seconds.
To improve this time you could install some effective cache plugin.
The size of the top of the page
Normally, G.P.S. will ask you to reduce the load on that part of the website.
The first thing users see when they enter is the top of the page, so many web page designers do it is overload it.
If this data comes out in red, reduce that part, because this will directly affect the charging speed.
