works. Getting back to our race car analogy, utilizing caching and a CDN equals a much faster trip around the racetrack. Those are two of the basic building blocks of efficient page painting, but there are even more techniques that can be employed as well. On WordPress, the following can be implemented via a plugin or plugins (again, WP Rocket and Imagify are a particularly good combo for achieving a lot of this): Asynchronous and/or deferred loading of scripts.
This is basically a fancy way of referring to loading multiple things at the bahrain phone number library same time or waiting until later to load things that aren’t needed right away. Preloading and prefetching. Basically, retrieving data about links in advance instead of waiting for the user to click on them. Lazy loading. Ironic term being that this concept exists for page speed purposes, but by default, most browsers load ALL images on a page, even those that are out of sight until a user scrolls down to them.
to be lazy and wait on loading those out-of-sight images until the user actually scrolls there. Serving images in next-gen formats. New image formats such as WebP can be loaded much faster by browsers than the old-fashioned JPEG and PNG formats. But it’s important to note that not all browsers can support these new formats just yet — so be sure to use a plugin that can serve up the next-gen versions to browsers that support them, but provide the old versions to browsers that don’t.
