1. Html, CSS and JS Caching
Caching is simply delivering information to frequently requested pages and activities. Using caching, you are able to increase the speed of your https request delivery.
Aleph Website recommends the following plugins for caching: SG Optimizer, and Autooptimize.
2. CDN – Content Delivery Network System
CDNs are proxy servers that help deliver the https requests faster, depending on the physical location of the user device.
So for example, if you are in Japan, you wouldn’t have to send your request to the physical location of the server located in New Zealand, instead the request would be redirected to a proxy hosting server in Japan.
Aleph Website recommends Cloudflare for CDN.
3. Image Optimization
Each time you upload an image you need make sure it goes live in the right format and minimal size possible. This will help your website stay fast and reduce FCP (first contentful paint), which is an important SEO ranking Factor.
Aleph Website recommends: SG Optimizer, Optimole for wordpress.
4. Firewall and Anti-hack protection
As you grow your visibility for your users, you grow visibility for hackers. There are many organizations in the business of breaking websites, stealing data and identities online.
You need to protect your website against hack attempts, DDoS attacks and suspicious logins, as well as various hacking malware used.
Aleph Website recommends: SG Security, WordFence Security, Cloudflare Firewall Security.
