    I keep getting a low page speed score and it gave me a long list of reasons. How can I get this solved? Can you please give some advice? Many are images that need to ve resized but I suspect the other stuff below is also not good.

    For example, how do I make different sizes for all diferent containers. The carousel images are hero images and have sized them approximately 1600 px wide. But how do the thumbnails get resized?

    Hi Paul,

    Loading speed of a web page on the browser will depend on many factors, here are a few simple ways that I tested on my local to keep my page load times low:

    1. Choose High-Performance WordPress Hosting (NGINX, HTTP/2)

    2. Use caching plugins, I recommend Cache Enabler plugin for many reasons:

    + Works perfectly with Autoptimize, which can combine with Async JavaScript plugin to Eliminate Render-Blocking Resources

    + Compatible with Optimus plugin, you can read more here https://optimus.io/

    3. Using Minify HTML, CSS and Javascript. If you use Autoptimize and Cache Enabler plugins, you can enable these functions.

    4. Use a CDN: Cloudflare and MaxCDN are among the most popular CDN services. Also, I recommend Premium DNS than Free DNS.

    5. Enable GZIP and Brotli compression, which is offered free in CloudFlare

    6. Cleanup WordPress database. You can optimize your database tables manually using phpMyAdmin or with a plugin: WP-DBManager, WP-Optimize.

    7. Delete old revisions, comments, emojis if you don't want to use these.

    You also can reference more guides on the internet.

    Regards,
