Step 1: Test Site Load Times Using Performance Tools

Tools to Use:

• Google PageSpeed Insights – Analyze site speed and get recommendations.
• GTmetrix – Get detailed insights on loading performance.
• Pingdom Website Speed Test – Check global loading speeds.
• Lighthouse (Google Chrome DevTools) – Perform an in-depth analysis of page performance.

Actions:

1. Benchmark Initial Load Times
   • Test the site before making caching adjustments.
   • Record performance metrics such as First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Time to Interactive (TTI), and Total Blocking Time (TBT).
2. Identify Bottlenecks
   • Check for render-blocking resources.
   • Identify unoptimized images, JavaScript, and CSS.
   • Detect slow server response times.

Step 2: Adjust Caching Settings Based on Results

Caching Techniques to Implement:

1. Browser Caching
   • Enable caching for static files (CSS, JavaScript, images).
   • Set expiry headers to store frequently accessed resources.
2. Server-Side Caching
   • Enable Object Caching (e.g., Redis, Memcached) to store database queries.
   • Implement Opcode Caching (e.g., OPcache) for PHP performance.
3. Page Caching
   • Use caching plugins (if applicable) like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache.
   • Configure Time-to-Live (TTL) values to balance speed and content updates.
4. Content Delivery Network (CDN) Caching
   • Configure CDN services (e.g., Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront) to cache static content closer to users.

Step 3: Re-Test and Monitor Performance

Actions:

1. Run the performance tests again to check improvements.
2. Compare new load time results with the initial benchmark.
3. Identify any further adjustments needed.
4. Monitor site performance over the next few days to ensure consistency.
