I am trying to fix the speed issues on the mobile version of my site https://www.in2town.co.uk/ I have run a test and it is really bad. here is a link to the test https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-www-in2town-co-uk/4678jmulzi?form_factor=mobile

Boss, in my case focusing on Google speed performance is a waste of time. You just maintain your website. Google will manage your website itself. I wasted too much time on this. But nothing came out. For the last one year I have stopped paying attention to it. Now my articles get indexed instantly and 78 percent of the traffic to my website comes from Google only.
Well, there are some tips which you can follow;
1. Also make a mobile version of the website.
2. Reduce ads.
3. Use full photo for desktop version and smaller image size for mobile version.
Rest of Google performance has no value. The world’s top websites cannot even pass the Web Core Vital issues.
I would like to apologize if you feel bad about my suggestion. But this is the truth.
It’s true that you shouldn’t over-optimize, but your mobile site could be a little faster.
You’re using the mobile theme plugin, right? If so, the answer is simple: turn it off. Newspaper is responsive and the mobile theme is frankly unnecessary as it’s very slow without proper caching. You don’t have to do much either: switch it off, adjust the mobile view a little in Composer and that’s it. Your website will then be much faster on mobile. Oh, and one more tip: throw away the default package if you don’t really need it (usually you don’t), because it also makes the website slower.
Hello!
Improving page speed in WordPress is crucial for providing a better user experience and optimizing your website for search engine rankings. Here are some tips to help you enhance your WordPress site’s page speed:
Optimize Images: Compress images before uploading them to your WordPress site. You can use plugins like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer to automatically optimize images without losing quality.
Utilize Caching: Implement caching to reduce server load and speed up page loading times. WordPress caching plugins like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache can generate static HTML files of your pages to serve to users, instead of dynamically generating them each time.
Minify CSS and JavaScript: Minify your CSS and JavaScript files to remove unnecessary characters and reduce file sizes. This can be done manually or through plugins like Autoptimize or W3 Total Cache.
Enable GZIP Compression: Enable GZIP compression on your server to reduce the size of files sent from your server to users’ browsers. Most hosting providers offer GZIP compression, but you can also enable it through plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache.
Optimize Database: Regularly clean up and optimize your WordPress database to remove unnecessary data and improve performance. You can use plugins like WP-Optimize to automate this process.
Limit External Requests: Minimize the number of external requests your website makes by reducing the use of external scripts and widgets. Each external request adds overhead to your page loading time.
Enable Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images, videos, and iframes so that they are only loaded when they are visible on the user’s screen. This can significantly reduce initial page loading times.
Optimize Server Response Time: Choose a reliable hosting provider with fast server response times. Consider using a content delivery network (CDN) to serve your content from servers closer to your users.
Regularly Update Plugins and Themes: Keep your WordPress core, plugins, and themes updated to the latest versions to ensure compatibility with the latest performance optimizations and security patches.
Ads can significantly impact the speed of your WordPress website since they often involve loading external resources and scripts. You can try to limit the number of ads, optimize ad sizes and formats and implement lazy load on your ads.
By following these tips, you can significantly improve the page speed of your WordPress website, leading to better user engagement, higher search engine rankings, and overall improved performance.
Thank you!
