Discover the True Potential of Your WordPress Website via Site Tests

In this past pacing the digital world, the website speed has become more crucial than ever. Truly speaking, this theory has been proven multiple times, the faster your site the more customers you can serve within a short period. Apart from this, faster sites have a higher ranking on the Google result as they are more user-friendly, convert better, and comes with a lower bounce rate. Now, after reading all these things, only one question appears in our mind "how to determine the speed of the website?" especially, when you have built the website on WordPress with the help of a WordPress development service. In the below article, we are going to determine ways to test WordPress site performance.

Begin with the load time

You can begin with the most significant way to test the performance of your website. For the start, you can enter the website URL in the browser to see how much time your website actually takes. Although, it is not going to show the whole picture it can certainly give you an idea about the speed of your website. To find out how your website actually behaves with your audience you can run a test using Pingdom.

As you can see in the above picture there are two columns. In the first one, you can enter the URL of your website and in the second column, you can enter the location where you want to measure your website performance. It is highly suggested to enter the location which is the nearest to your audience. After clicking the start test, you have to wait a couple of seconds to find the actual result.

As shown in the above image, Pingdom will highlight the major components of the overall performance. So, you can check each component deeply to find out where you are lacking.

Test how much traffic your WordPress website can handle

The next and very important thing you must test via a testing tool is to find out how much traffic your website can handle. The best online tool you can choose to fulfill this purpose is the Load impact tool.

All you have to do is enter your URL and click on the "run free test". Now, what load impact actually does is send 25 bots as users on your website to find out how much traffic it can handle. The duration of the test is 5 minutes after that you will receive the summary and test.

The above chart may look quite confusing but actually, it is simple. The green line in the chart represents the load time of your website. If it goes up then, it means there is a scope of improvement.

Quality of the WordPress setup

Just like a product, a WordPress site also contains multiple elements, scripts, mechanisms, combined they provide features that make your website awesome. However, it is not compulsory that all the elements are fully optimized. Here come GTmetrix comes to the rescue. It provides a comprehensive way to test the performance of the WordPress website.

Through GTmetrix you can analyze different elements of your website such as image optimization, Javascript optimization, CSS optimization, browser caching, HTTP requests, etc. In short, the tool will give a brief of the insights of the website. In case, if you find it too difficult then hire a WordPress development service to do it on your behalf.
