Xhibiter is optimized so that it&#8217;s fast on its own, but ultimately, content will primarily dictate how fast your site will perform. Images play a huge factor in speed results, as well as hosting, server, extra plugins, content and more.<\/p>\n<h3>Images<\/h3>\n<p>First and simple rule: <em>Don&#8217;t upload larger images than what is needed. <\/em>We recommend <strong>1920 x 1080<\/strong> as a maximum resolution for your images. Crop your images and optimize them with tools such as <a href=\"https:\/\/imagecompressor.com\/\">Optimizilla<\/a>. It can reduce image size up to 90%.<\/p>\n<p>If you need more comprehensive guide about image optimization, please refer to this article:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"MhGScVWG1A\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proteusthemes.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-image-optimization-wordpress\/\">The Ultimate Guide to Image Optimization for WordPress<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;The Ultimate Guide to Image Optimization for WordPress&#8221; &#8212; ProteusThemes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proteusthemes.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-image-optimization-wordpress\/embed\/#?secret=LjCyHSD6kI#?secret=MhGScVWG1A\" data-secret=\"MhGScVWG1A\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Caching \/ Minification Plugins<\/h3>\n<p>We recommend using these caching plugins. However, depending on your server configuration they can work differently.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/autoptimize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Autoptimize<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-rocket.me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP Rocket<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en-gb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/w3-total-cache\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">W3 Total Cache<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-super-cache\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP Super Cache<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hosting<\/h3>\n<p>If your site hosted on shared hosting, consider upgrading to a better hosting plan or get a VPN. Some shared hosting services can be overcrowded and have a direct effect on speed. Hosting can play very big role in your site speed. On our demos we&#8217;re using <a href=\"https:\/\/vrlps.co\/GhE0m7O\/cp\">Cloudways<\/a>, which has good speed performance and starts from $10 a month.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Gzip Compression<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It can dramatically reduce file sizes ( upto 80% ) of static files like html, css and javascript during delivery. If your web host isn\u2019t doing this already, please contact them and setup gzip compression. Plugins like W3 Total cache and WP Super Cache have options for enabling gzip compression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[48],"manual_kb_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1816","manual_kb","type-manual_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","manualknowledgebasecat-others"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.deothemes.com\/xhibiter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/1816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.deothemes.com\/xhibiter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.deothemes.com\/xhibiter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.deothemes.com\/xhibiter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/docs.deothemes.com\/xhibiter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/1816\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2426,"href":"https:\/\/docs.deothemes.com\/xhibiter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/1816\/revisions\/2426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.deothemes.com\/xhibiter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.deothemes.com\/xhibiter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=1816"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.deothemes.com\/xhibiter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=1816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
