Task Breakdown:

1. Performance Testing of Site Load Times

Tools to Use:

• Google PageSpeed Insights
• GTmetrix
• Lighthouse (Chrome DevTools)
• Pingdom Website Speed Test

Steps:

1. Benchmark Current Load Times
   • Test the homepage and key landing pages.
   • Document initial load times and performance scores.
2. Analyze Core Web Vitals
   • Check Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
   • Identify slow-loading elements.
3. Check Server Response Times
   • Use a tool like WebPageTest to analyze Time to First Byte (TTFB).
   • Review server logs for potential delays.

2. Adjusting and Implementing Caching Solutions

Caching Layers to Optimize:

• Browser Caching: Set expiration headers for static resources (images, CSS, JavaScript).
• Server-side Caching: Implement object caching (e.g., Redis, Memcached).
• Page Caching: Enable full-page caching to reduce server load.
• Database Query Caching: Optimize MySQL/MariaDB query cache settings.

Steps:

1. Enable/Adjust Caching Plugins (for WordPress-based sites)
   • Configure plugins like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, or WP Super Cache.
   • Set optimal cache expiration times.
2. Test Caching Performance
   • After implementing caching changes, re-run performance tests.
   • Compare before-and-after results.
3. Optimize Content Delivery Network (CDN) Integration
   • Configure a CDN like Cloudflare, StackPath, or AWS CloudFront.
   • Ensure static assets are cached efficiently.

3. Performance Monitoring and Reporting

• Document findings and improvements.
