We created this curated post as a Hyper Guide to WordPress Speed Up. Use these techniques and gain hyper speed for your WordPress.
We noticed, that resources regarding WordPress performance optimisation are scarce. There a quite a few, but they recommend the same few tips over and over. Even the paid advertorials from renowned theme/plugin creators and WordPress Service providers limit their suggested techniques up to 10, rarely 15 tips and only a mere few going up to 20 tips and market the post as mega/ultimate/ultra guides. So, we jumped on this bandwagon with this post, recommending 175 Tips to WordPress Speed Up. Don't forget to share, as it was extremely difficult to create these posts! :D
