You'll also learn about on-the-fly Image Optimization, lazy-loading and how to delay javascript properly and fix any delay js errors you face.

SPEED UP WORDPRESS:
I don't need to tell you why you need a faster WordPress website, as I am sure you already know.
But if you are looking to make your website faster, while simplifying the tools you use to do so down to just 1 plugin, then I think you'll like this video.
I show you how to set up the best WordPress caching plugin, then I show you how to connect it to the CDN offered by this plugin (it's very easy), and then I run you through some really important things.
This video is not just about showing you how to install a plugin blindly without knowing if it is actually working and caching your website.
I also teach you what I know about caching. I show you how to use the Network Tab in your browser to see what's loading on your page. I show you how to see what parts of your website are being cached.
And if you've ever set up caching but never known if it is actually working properly, I will also show you how to confirm caching is active.
The plugin we are using today is FlyingPress, which does your website optimization and is your WordPress caching plugin. We then connect it to FlyingCDN, a new CDN service offered by the same team (and powered by CloudFlare Enterprise behind-the-scenes, which gives you a faster website, better security and HTML caching). Yep! you can cancel CloudFlare APO (Automatic Platform Optimization).
