How can developers improve website speed in under 10 minutes?

If you want to improve your website speed in under 10 minutes without coding, here are some simple and effective methods:

  1. Optimize Images
    Use tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim to compress images without losing quality. Alternatively, use WebP format instead of PNG/JPEG for better performance.

  2. Enable Caching
    Activate browser caching through your hosting panel or plugins like WP Rocket (for WordPress). This reduces load time for returning visitors.

  3. Use a CDN (Content Delivery Network)
    A CDN like Cloudflare or BunnyCDN distributes your website’s content across multiple global servers, reducing load time for users worldwide.

  4. Minimize Plugins
    If you're using WordPress, disable or remove unnecessary plugins. Each extra plugin can slow down your site.

  5. Enable Lazy Loading
    Lazy loading ensures images and videos load only when they are needed, improving page speed. You can enable it through settings in WordPress or via plugins like Lazy Load by WP Rocket.

  6. Reduce Redirects
    Check your website for unnecessary redirects using tools like GTmetrix or Google PageSpeed Insights. Too many redirects increase load time.

  7. Upgrade Hosting
    If your site is slow, consider switching to a faster web host that offers better speed optimization.

  8. Use a Lightweight Theme
    If you are on WordPress, switch to a fast-loading theme like GeneratePress, Astra, or Neve instead of heavy, bloated themes.

  9. Optimize Database
    For WordPress users, plugins like WP-Optimize help clean up unnecessary data and speed up your site.

  10. Disable Unused Scripts
    If you're using tools like Google Tag Manager, disable unused scripts that slow down the site. You can also use Perfmatters to control them easily.
