Website Optimization
Guides, tips, and best practices for website optimization — improving performance, speed, and user experience, with practical notes.
Every WordPress site eventually hits the same problem. Images are the largest thing on the page, the editors upload whatever came off the camera, and the mobile score is suffering for it. The usual answer is to install an image optimisation plugin, and the usual candidates are Smush, ShortPixel and Imagify. There is a...
If you have followed a Cloudflare tutorial written before 2026, installed a plugin with “resizing” in its name, or inherited a Worker that rewrites image URLs, you have probably hit something confusing.

Instead of hoping Google infers that a page is a recipe, a product, or an FAQ, you tell it explicitly.

Used well, it serves content from a location near each visitor, caches what it can, optimises images, and compresses responses. Used carelessly, it does little or even gets in the way....

This checklist walks through what to review in 2026, grouped by the questions that matter: can Google find your pages, index them, understand...
Core Web Vitals are Google’s measurable signals for real-world page experience, and they feed into ranking.
