This is far from my usual post, mainly marketing and business. It's about WordPress.
WordPress is awesome, what's not awesome is that it becomes a bloatware as you start installing new plugins and theme.
Here's what I did to speed my WordPress
1. Reduce the Plugin
2. Move to CDN Cloudflare
3. Install Swift Performance
4. Configure Memcached
5. Configure OpCache
6. Move media to AWS S3
Steps I take care of often, optimize the images!
