To optimize your WordPress site, start with a high-quality hosting provider specializing in WordPress. Choose a lightweight theme and limit plugins to essentials. Implement caching solutions and use a CDN for faster content delivery. Optimize images and minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML. Regularly update WordPress, themes, and plugins. Clean your database of unnecessary data. Consider lazy loading for images and AMP for mobile users. Conduct regular performance audits to identify areas for improvement.
