Maximize Drupal and WordPress Site Performance: Proven Strategies and Common Pitfalls
Kanopi Studios’ latest blog post emphasizes optimizing site performance for Drupal and WordPress. Performance impacts search engine rankings and user retention, making fast-loading speeds essential.
Google Pagespeed Insights is recommended for measuring performance, with a goal of a performance score of 80+ and passing Core Web Vitals. Strategies for improving site speed include caching and aggregation, selecting dedicated hosting environments like Pantheon, Acquia, WPEngine, and Kinsta, and optimizing images with formats like SVG and WebP. Avoiding excessive plugins and frameworks, using lightweight themes, and keeping all systems updated are also key. Testing under real-world conditions is crucial to identify and address bottlenecks.
