About this talk

What the session covered.

Slow websites lose visitors before the page loads.

At WordCamp Stuttgart 2019, Vineet examined the full stack of decisions that affect WordPress page speed, from hosting infrastructure and DNS configuration through caching strategy, code optimization, and image delivery.

The session was structured for a mixed audience with solutions covering beginner through advanced scenarios across different hosting environments.

Key takeaways

What this talk established.

Page speed is a layered problem. Fixing images while neglecting server response time produces marginal gains.
Hosting is the most consequential performance decision and the least frequently revisited.
DNS and time-to-first-byte are outside WordPress but inside your control.
Caching strategy depends on site type. Static, dynamic, and e-commerce sites require different configurations.
Code optimization has diminishing returns without infrastructure improvements underneath it.
