The speed of the site is a significant factor affecting the ranking in the SERP. There are many methods to increase the speed of the site<\/a> load but the most substantial result is usually achieved by setting up caching. For this purpose, one of the best plugins recommended – WP Super Cache<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The principle of work:<\/strong> Every time a visitor opens a page a lot of requests are sent to the server. It loads and transfers html, css and js files. The browser processes them and gives the user a loaded page. This process takes a while and since specific action is done for each visitor imagine when there are hundreds of them! Not every server will withstand such a load.<\/p>\n

After activating and configuring the WP Super Cache plugin caching of the pages occurs at their first visit. Basically creating saved copies of pages<\/strong> in a separate folder on the server. All other visitors will be given a ready-made copy of the page and the server will receive a lot less new requests.<\/p>\n

Site load speed can increase to 750% depending on many factors: your hosting, the theme, the number of plugins, pictures, etc. Usually, you can achieve the increase by 2-3 times. Also, if your resource is already mostly optimized, that growth may be smaller and vice versa.<\/p>\n

For the plugin to work properly, it is necessary that the wp-content folder has 755 permissions. You can use an FTP client, for example FileZilla.<\/p>\n
