Best Practices For Faster Websites

Slides from my talk at WordPress Meetup Orlando about Best Practices for Faster Websites.
I often hear people asking: “Why is my site slow?” In this presentation we discussed how you can test website speed, figure out what’s causing loading delay, and what are the best practices you can implement to make your site load faster. We went over images, caching, 3rd parties, HTTP/2 protocol and more.
