    I always appreciate how you showcase a lot of the things that people starting out tend to miss because everyone in the industry just considers them default knowledge. These types of videos are so important for teaching newer devs while encouraging understanding instead of blind following of instructions. Excellent work!

    Man you are amazing, I just don’t know how to thank you enough. You opened my eyes on so many things were going on on my site that I was not really paying attention to. My bounce rate is high due to slow loading. The number of requests is about 150-190 on blog posts that’s totally crazy. I was able to reduce things here and there after watching your video. Now my site is way better but needs more work to do later for speed and number of unused requests. I just found out that a quiz I have on one post loading everywhere on my site 👎. Thank you so much man.

    +1 for mentioning Gulp. Back in the day, I used to use Grunt for CSS / JS minification. As time went on, I found using it was slowing down my computer. It got to the point where running Grunt tasks made my computer freeze. Switch over to Gulp, no problems at all.

    Hi WPCast. I enjoy your videos and this one in particular. I did a Gtmetrix evaluation on a page of mine and it suggested to rescale an image to 50% of the original size. I found the image in the media library and rescaled it like you showed in this video, but the result was a blurry image when I refreshed the page. Have I done something wrong?

    Hi there Alex, LOVE YOUR STUFF! Also, I would love if you can launch a more in-depth video tutorial (perhaps it can turn out to be a mini-series) on how to fully optimize a WordPress site page loading speed.
    What I would REALLY love to see is instead of optimizing a pre-made website for the sole purpose of this tutorial, to see your work on a live site. Perhaps this is something you can run here on your channel among your subscribers.
    I am sure there will be tons of us looking to improve a WordPress speed performance willing to share their sites with you to do this.
