Dear Friends

These 7 tips will definitely improve the performance of your WordPress site. So, What are we waiting for? Let's start discussing them below.

1. Use of Proper heading Tags

Make sure your blog post includes the proper use of Heading Tags in it. The Heading tags are represented by the character 'H' like H1, H2, H3, and so on.

Ideally, in a WordPress blog, the title of the blog post is represented by the H1 tags. Hence, you can start your article with H2 tags followed by H3, and so on.

For better performance, ensure you follow the heading tags in a particular hierarchy. In simple words, you can't use the H4 directly after H1 tags.

2. Optimize Images

No matter, how small your images are? Before uploading the same on your site, please optimize it for the file size. You should try to reduce the file size (without losing its quality) to the extent it is possible.

Further, you should enable the lazy load of images on your site. This will improve the performance of your site drastically.

I wish to bring something here for discussion.

the content team, cannot change the font colour while posting text on WordPress. Earlier, the feature was visible, and I doubt if this is because I am not using the updated version of WordPress CMS. Could you please comment on this matter and help me fix the glitch?
