7+ Easiest And Actionable Way To Improve The Loading Speed Of Your Blog.

Here we have mentioned some of the reasons that may affect your website performance and with the proper knowledge, you can fix that.

These are the common mistakes which I have seen most newbies often do and resulting they face slow speed in their performance

01. Hosting

Every newbie has the same condition they always look for a cheap and ordinary hosting which is not providing good performance yet!

They also offer limited features and cheap quality data servers. Just because of a few bucks, we are not willing to pay for good hosting.

Whenever we talk about website speed, Hosting is one of the biggest reasons among this which I have ever seen to my friends and clients.

Choosing cheap and ordinary hosting is good only when you just came to blogging for tasting purposes or learning purposes.

Ordinary & cheap hosting might not respond quickly to load your HTML and CSS files, and also it takes more time to load images, videos, illustration and graphics in your site.

So now you may be questioning what is the ideal web hosting for newbie bloggers who start a blog for the long run and wanna make it a passive income source.

Here is how you are gonna fix this,

Choose a good Web hosting which has quick response time and offers you the best features according to your start-up needs.

And when anyone talks about best hosting it is impossible to forget siteground hosting.

"But should you believe in my words?"

Are you also thinking the same? I know you are,

So here is the proof of my website loading speed when I also thought the same and started with a random ordinary hosting. Just to save few bucks.

Now you can see another screenshot of Siteground hosting power behind these amazing numbers. And this happens when I don’t even installed any speed optimization plugins.

04.Garbage Database

Everyone knows that once we keep using a smartphone or pc there is cache data or other miscellaneous files are stored.

Same happened with your website. Every time we install a new plugin, theme and start designing or editing them. After a few days, we uninstall them from our site.

Resulting, They left a bunch of codes and files in our database which increases our database storage.

And it will cause slow speed on your website.

Hosting companies have certain limits to handle any website easily. If you have a normal blog and you have decent visitors then Siteground is the best option to handle it but.

As visitors increase or your website database too it needs to upgrade to a powerful cloud hosting service.

But what if you have a normal website and you also have less than 10k visitors/month. Should you migrate to a VPS or cloud hosting which is quite costlier?

No!

I will definitely not recommend But you may think then what should I do?

Well, there is another way which is very easy and simple. You have to clean your database. You have to clean all those files which are not being used or just like garbage in your database consuming extra space.

Let me explain how to do it,

Note

Please read my steps carefully and follow them step by step neither you will lose your all data.

Step:- 01

Keep backup for your MySQL database

In my case I have Siteground hosting so I don’t need to backup manually. Siteground keeps my back-up every day. So if you are also using SG go to Backup tool> choose a date to backup.

And if anything goes wrong you can switch back to any previous setting by using it’s backup up to 7 days before from the current date.

For others go to the Cpanel of your site and then MySQL> your domain folder> menu> export to backup.

Step:- 02

Install two plugins

  1. Advanced database cleaner
  2. Plugin garbage collector

Step:- 03

First of all, go to the "advanced database cleaner" and scan then delete all those files with a red mark.

Only delete files which are red. Neither you will lose your site’s data.

Step:- 04

Go to tools> "plugin garbage collector" and scan and clear all the data which is default selected.

Only delete the files which have the red mark. In some of the cases, you will not see any red marked files.

In that case, don’t do anything extra, don’t be smart.

Step:-05

Delete those plugins which have been installed and go to MySQL and download your backup file again and check its file size. I am damn sure it will be reduced.

So that’s how you can boost your site speed by clearing your database.

You can do this once in six months, that’s good enough
