You can make any WordPress site load in less than 1 second with the lessons in this course.

Avoid Big Speed Mistakes and Shitty Third-Party Software

Everything is trying to slow down your site. I’ll show you how to avoid these page-speed killers. And how to lay a foundation for lightning-fast sites.

Use The Right Page-Speed Testing Software

Are you getting low and conflicting speed scores with different testing tools? You may be using the wrong tools. I’ll show you the right one and how to use it. Then, how to tell Google your website is fast as shit by scoring a perfect 100!

Starting with killer web hosting and the right theme can shave a lot off your load times. I’ll go over exactly what I use for hosting and how to pick (or design) the perfect WordPress theme for speed.

What’s the Deal with Caching and CDNs?

You can dramatically speed up a site with just a few settings in Cloudflare (a free tool). I’ll show you how to set this up on your own site no matter what hosting company or theme you use.

No More Bloated Plugins and Themes

Your Images and Videos Will Load Crazy Fast

Shave seconds off your load time by creating and compressing images the right way. Plus, load images and videos as you scroll down the page (aka lazy loading).
