Speeding up our site to match your demo speed

[BigWeb2001]

after a month or so we got everything up to speed and now getting ready to launch the LMS program and hopefully a paid version that makes the money people pay worth it and not frustrate them. I have spoken with godaddy the hosting co and showed them my concerns and I need to ask you a few questions.

1) what plug ins are you using to speed up your site
2) what hosting parameters are you within.
3) do you have any recommendations on how to speed up our version to match yours?

We would love any input on how to make this happen as the speed of the theme is just way to slow.

Hello BigWeb2001 and thanks for reaching us.
The major factor that influences the speed of a website is the hosting of your WordPress website. If you have a shared hosting, you could think to upgrade your plan to a dedicated hosting. This will definitely help you speeding up your website.

I’ve just seen on Godaddy which plan could fit your needs and should be the Ultimate plan: https://it.godaddy.com/hosting/wordpress-hosting#wp_plans

Our demos are hosted on wphost2go.com, you can see its offers here: https://wphost2go.com/xtreme-wp-hosting/

The Wphost2go Elite plan is powerful than the Godaddy Ultimate plan.

Another cause should be images weight: images are the major contributors to size increment of a given webpage.
For this, you can use third-party plugins like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer.

Then you can also use some caching plugin like W3C Total Cache.

Last you can also try to use a CDN: the primary function of a CDN is to serve the webpage to a visitor from the nearest possible location. One of the most popular CDN available is Cloudflare.

All these tips can be helpful to speed up your website, but don’t forget that the main reason of slow speed websites is a cheap hosting.

Hope this can clarify your doubts.
