If you are a newbie web developer or a small business owner and want to improve load speed on your WordPress website, what are 3 simple steps you can take to make a start? 🧐

1. Start here: 🏞audit the photos and images in your Media folder in WordPress. Image files should be < 200 KB in size – if they are not, use a tool like tinypng[dot]com to compress image files. Then upload and use those throughout your website.

2. Vídeos: 📽give preference to embedded YouTube or Wistia vídeos instead of local mp4 files. Try to limit to embedding 1 video per page.

3. File downloads: ⏬if you have PDF files available for download, are your PDF files compressed? Do that on this resource: pdfcompressor[dot]com

For the more complicated stuff (caching plug-in, CDN, js/css minification, excess plugins, etc) you can always count on a pro web developer 👩🏻‍💻to implement for you.
