WordPress Speed Checklist

• Choose a good hosting plan
• Select the latest PHP version as it is generally faster than the previous ones
• Select a lightweight theme like Astra or OceanWP
• Serve images in lightweight formats like WebP using WebP Express
• Minify CSS and JS files using plugins like LiteSpeed Cache
• Implement caching also using LiteSpeed Cache
• Use a Content Delivery Network for a more efficient serving of static files. Cloudflare is a good choice, but QUIC cloud plays really well with LiteSpeed Cache and in my experience causes fewer problems.
