What should I do I have very simple website but I am getting like 74 points
Bricks is saying outstanding performance but how do I achieve that? Do i need any 3rd party plugins?
It’s more about what you add to the page, a ‘simple’ website could still accidently be adding images that are 4x the weight they should be, or loading in a Youtube video when the page first loads, and so the performance would be marked down.
Whatever you’re using to measure the performance (the thing giving you the 74 point score), it should tell you below the score what issues there are. Address those issues one by one and your performance will increase.
if you’re unsure, post it up here and somebody may be able to break it down.
Hey. Thanks for the reply.
I am checking this site Komunita bežeckých nadšencov – Beh Cross Lozorno
on google PageSpeed Insights
and the biggest issue seems to be the hero section with 4,690 ms which seems crazy to me since the image in the background is in webp format and its only 378KB in size
btw desktop is fine with 95 score this is mobile related
That background image is coming through as a jpeg (at 688kb), not webp. If you’re using a performance plugin to change the image type to webp automatically, maybe it’s set to only change inline images, not background images?
Also, using an inline image (and positioning it behind the content to look like a background image) can also improve performance as it’ll load a smaller version of the image on smaller devices by making use of the SRCSET (as long as there’s smaller versions of images saved in your media library). Currently you’re delivering that 688kb file to mobile also, which is pretty big.
The other notable thing is the connection to Google fonts for the font CSS, hosting your fonts locally will improve things also.
They’re the big ones. Solving those should push it up to 90%+ I think. The rest are minor adjustments.
Also seems like you’re using WP Fastest Cache plugin, see if you can optimize the performance by adjusting some settings. E.q. have you enabled gzip, minify or preloading in WP FC settings?
thank you, you really helped me!
