How To Speed Up Your WordPress Website With A CDN and Caching Plugin: WordPress Pagespeed Part 2 #Best Education Page #Online Earning

hey miles here miles better calm and in

this video I'm gonna show you how to

speed up your WordPress site using a CDN

and a caching plugin now this is the

second video in a series the first video

we went into a page speed tool to

essentially identify the opportunities

to speed up my WordPress website my site

was graded as straight DS in that tool

I'll make sure a link for that pops up

up here if you haven't done the tests on

your site yet I recommend running those

tests following that video so you can

see exactly what needs to get fixed but

with that said just about every single

WordPress website will benefit from the

use of a CDN and a caching plugin so

that's what I'm gonna show you how to

get set up here in this video but before

we jump in I want to help you understand

what exactly is a CDN and what exactly

is a caching plug-in so you understand

how this is going to benefit your

website so number one CDN is a content

delivery network and an analogy I've got

is let's say you're looking to fill up a

swimming pool and you've got one hose to

fill up the swimming pool it's gonna

take a long time for all of the water to

flow through that one hose to fill up

the swimming pool the analogy here is

that your web server is essentially

filling up the users browser with your

website's data and it's coming from one

single source which is straight from

your web server if you are able to add

on three or four additional hoses to

help fill up that swimming pool

you're gonna simply cut down on the

amount of time it's required to get all

of the water needed in that swimming

pool a CDN or a content delivery network

is a series of cloud-based servers that

essentially assist your website in

loading quickly for the user so what

happens is many of your HTML pages and

many of your static pieces of content

and your images etc are loaded from

third-party web servers so your web

server isn't the only one bearing the

load it's able to compile everything on

your

webserver but it can source the pieces

from different places giving it

essentially more speed and a quicker

page load time the second item is a

caching plugin caching is essentially

creating a static version of your

website components that don't change so

on my website on my homepage for example

the top navigation the headshot of me my

opening intro phrase the lower text my

footer

none of that content changes that's

always the same content now in between

those pieces I have what's called my

blog role where my website goes and

pulls my six most recent blog posts it

pulls the thumbnail and the titles and

the basic descriptions so that's dynamic

content okay

so caching pre builds static versions of

your pages so when a user visits your

website most of the page is already

built and ready all that needs to get

added are those dynamic components this

increases the page load time as well I

hope that makes sense it is techie stuff

right there's there's no way around this

is kind of a technical update to a

website but we're essentially adding

leverage from other servers to give us

ability to more quickly load the

components and we're pre loading our

static content on our web page on our

server so it can load more quickly so

when a user visits it doesn't have to

build every single component on that

page for the user it simply adds in the

dynamic content and displays from a

series of high performance servers that

content okay that's that's it for the

explanation what we're gonna do now is

we're gonna jump on the laptop I'm gonna

show you the exact tools I'm using I've

already got it configured and installed

so I'm just gonna give you a rundown on

where to go and what to do to get this

configured and installed on your end and

then we'll take a look at the the speed

test at the end to see how this did

right cuz you saw just literally I think

four days five days ago I ran the speed

test once I've made a few changes and

we'll see what the actual results

because that's why we're doing this is

for greater faster load times and let me

go ahead and load this so the the CD and

the content delivery network that I'm

using for my website and I highly

recommend is key CDN I am an affiliate

it's a credit based system I get like

one credit when you sign up miles

Beckler comm forward slash CDN is how

you get here and then the plug-in that

I'm using for cash in is called WP

rocket you can access this at miles

Beckler comm forward slash rocket this

is a paid caching plug-in and yes there

are some free ones I've had nothing but

challenges with the free ones I've tried

the really common free ones many many

times and I'm always getting plugging

conflicts this is by far the easiest and

fastest to set up I think it's like 40

bucks a year

personally it's in my best interest for

number one ease of setup I can get this

thing set up and configured and I mean

it automatically happens I just upload

the plugin and it works so that's a huge

value but to know that there's a support

team if I need help and also people

updating this people who are paid to

work on this plug-in to work on this to

keep it to be the fastest caching plugin

on WordPress that's I'm happy to pay

them for that service so once you

purchase the plug-in you'll be able to

get access to your account and it's

really simple you can purchase it for

one site if you've got one site and you

come in and you simply download the zip

file because you're gonna upload that as

a plug-in to your website in the CDN

itself once you get signed up you get

one free credit when you sign up for my

affiliate link that'll give you I think

up to two weeks and one free credit so

you'll be able to give this configured

and tested for free when you do want to

kind of stay on you need to go under

billing here and purchase credits you

need to purchase something like forty

nine dollar minimum worth of credits and

then I set mine up to auto rebill when I

am out of credits and the reason for

this is I want to build this I want to

configure it I want to set it and I want

to forget it and it's gonna

automatically populate for me month

after month or if it takes three months

to use my credits whatever that is it's

based on how much

essentially traffic you are delivering

so you can see right here 1.2 2

terabytes of data is what I have

purchased with my 49 dollars worth of

credits so this is essentially just a

graph of how much I've used you see I

got it configured the other day and I'm

just now starting to use point oh four

credits I've used in the first day this

has been running so how do you get this

set up the first thing you're gonna do

here is inside of the CDN network you

want to go under the zones and you want

to create a zone and you're creating a

pull zone now mine is already created

you can see I've told it where my URL is

there's one kind of variation on how you

go about this if you're running HTTPS if

your WordPress is secure there's like

two extra steps for you to make sure

that they're delivering your items

securely if you're not running HTTPS

it's literally like three clicks and

you're set up and you're done and you're

up and running so the first thing you

want to do is create your zone you

simply name it what you want you tell it

what your URL it comes from is I'll show

you what that looks like in this screen

here so this is what it looks like when

you create a new one it's just manage I

just use my name because that's my

domain name active the pull type and

then here in the origin URL if yours is

HTTP and you're not HTTP make sure that

says HTTP if yours is HTTP if your

website is running on HTTPS make sure

it's in there and then you would go

under the advanced features and then

down here you'll see that there you need

to actually enable a shared SSL and

that's actually going to be pretty much

what you need to do to configure it I

think I had to enable it to force SSL

for my SSL also and again that's only if

you're running an SSL so it takes a few

minutes for this to get set up once you

create your zone what you're saying is

you go in through your CDN account and

you're telling it my websites over here

the CDN is gonna connect to your website

and go download and essentially host on

its servers all of the different

components of static item

HTML files images CSS files etc those

all get hosted here on your CDN so it

takes five minutes or 10 minutes for

that configuration to get set up you'll

notice the status here will turn to

active once it's ready the SSL if you've

got it disabled this will be a great

button but since I've got it enabled

it's a green button that shows me we're

good to go

once your zone is active then we go in

and we install the WP rocket so you just

simply go in through the plugins you add

new you install it it's installs like

every other plugin and then you'll see

you now have under settings there's the

WP rocket and then here up top you have

the WP rocket and we'll go inside of

settings what we need to do is go here

under the CDN tab yours will probably

come up in the basic tab I haven't

changed anything else other than taking

the to mobile caching boxes but you'll

click on this CDN box you need to enable

the content delivery network and then

you put in your CDN name this CDN name

is what you got from let me go back here

I'm gonna edit zone I need to go to the

zone itself right here so the zone URL

this miles Beckler dot blah blah blah

yours gonna be different right it'll be

just kind of garbling goop that doesn't

actually matter cuz this is their URL it

only matters that you get it right and

you get it into place here once that's

set up into place you save it and now

your WordPress website through the

caching plug-in is configured to look at

your content delivery network for the

static items that it can draw from to

save resources on your web server that's

really it that's all we need to do now I

want to show you there's a lot of other

kind of configurations you can do

there's this lazy load tool which means

it waits until the user Scrolls down to

the bottom of the page to load I already

have a lazy load plug-in installed so

I'm not gonna configure that yet I might

configure that and remove the other

plug-in just to keep my plugins thin

like

I did set both checkboxes for mobile

caching and I've enabled the ssl caching

if you are working with ssl and it's

your site's loading in it doesn't look

good when it loads it's clearly missing

some pieces you can tick this box right

here to disable the CDN on your https

while you go in to the support documents

to figure out what little hiccup was

missed there I'll show you where to find

that stuff right now once you have it

set up and running and you think you've

got it dialed in right you want to go to

a new incognito window and then you're

gonna load your website someone load

miles back or calm and we're gonna let

the page load and what I'm gonna do is

I'm gonna right click on Windows machine

I'm a view page source if you're not on

Windows I don't know how to do that for

you you should know that if you use a

computer other than Windows and what I'm

looking for here is you notice all these

links down here my dashboard icons my

formidable forms you notice it's all

coming from my CDN right so that means

that my web server is instead of going

to the hard drive repeatedly and slowly

picking up all the pieces my web server

is assembling all of these pieces from

the CDN URL if you still see your actual

URL here right and you don't see the CDN

name inside of here something is not

configured correctly but this is how you

know for sure once it's up and running

you look at the page source and you'll

see that CDN information is all

throughout here you can see all the CDN

stuff some things are still loading from

my server like this item here this item

here but most of the components are

loading from the CDN now at this point

in time one more thing I want to show

you there's there's two places for

support with this kind of with these

items number one is in the CDN tab under

the WP rocket you can click here it

takes you to the docs for saw or Doc's

dot WP - rocket dot me and you can see

they actually have a key CDN file here

that shows you how to install and

configure this with key CDN it takes you

over the key CDN if you're inside of key

CDN here

they've got this getting started guide

you can click on it essentially walks

you through the same content one other

place you can find the how to's is under

general CDN how to's this takes you into

the knowledge base and for example if

you're having problems with the ssl you

type in ssl you search and it'll tell

you how to set up a shared ssl there's

the one little thing on ssl there's a

shared ssl and there's a custom ssl i'm

using a shared ssl which means i'm

running it off of their servers if you

use a custom ssl you can kind of mask it

with your subdomains so you could have

CDN dot your name dot or yourdomain.com

instead of the what I called gar blue

goop right it's xcz miles Beckler dot

their domain comm I'm ok running on

their SSL server because all I care

about is having that s on top of my

website the HTTPS so what I mean here is

if I wanted to go on a custom domain

this URL here instead of it being ver

calm it could be CDN miles better calm I

might configure that in the future but

ultimately I don't really care as long

as this HTTP works and I get to a little

lock up in the corner and my page loads

correctly if anything is not loading

correctly and there's something miss

configure the easiest way for you to go

and kind of take a step back is to go

inside of plugins and simply take the WP

rocket plug-in which will show up down

here and deactivate it once you

deactivate it it disconnects everything

it unties everything and give yourself

some breathing room so there's no need

to get stressed out if you try to set

this up and get this running and it

doesn't work correctly the first time I

tried to get this running

I had a challenge with I was trying to

use the customs CDN instead of the

shared the custom SSL setup instead of

the shared so I was messing everything

up and I just turned the plug-in off

then I found I could just do this shared

one it's even easier turn it on and it

works the final thing I want to do now

is I want to go in through a I want to

use this I'm gonna go check to Page

speeds and I want to use a

incognito browser the reason is when

you're logged in you can see I'm logged

in here if I just go to my website when

I'm logged in I'm actually gonna see a

little bit different version of my

website then when I'm using it in an

incognito browser so we're gonna go back

to GT metrics dot-com and we're gonna

type in miles Beckler comm except I'm

gonna go copy it let me see here I'm

just gonna take the HTTPS miles Becca

calm cuz that's how my page loads got a

colon in front of it so before I was I

don't want to say embarrassingly slow

but it wasn't a positive experience I

was getting I got a D and a D and I

think my load times are about three

point four seconds for my homepage you

can see they're a bit backed up right

now so what I'm gonna do is I'm just

gonna kind of hold off here and wait for

this to load and I'll show you the

results in a second okay so now we have

loaded the page my home page through the

kind of PageSpeed tool of GT metrics you

can see I've now got a high B for my

PageSpeed score

my wife's low scores still a little bit

slow my load times are down by I believe

over a second I haven't looked exactly I

think it was either three point four or

three point six seconds for my home page

to load the total page size is under a

Meg I like that seventy six requests

could get lower but all in all this is

much better than it was you could see

I'm now getting better grades on some of

these ideas on the PageSpeed under yslow

there's still kind of room for growth

right and it says it still thinks that

I'm only doing okay on my content

delivery network I'm not sure exactly

why that is but these are things I can

go look into and it doesn't actually

specify my CD ends so it's something

that it just what it's finding is

there's additional items I could deliver

via CDN and I can see that here because

it's it's showing me the the Pinterest

plug-in it's showing me my some of my

tracking and some of the certain items

those may actually get loaded from the

CDN over time I may need to go configure

them or they're just possibly things I

need I can ignore looking into my report

you'll notice

this is really where you get that visual

representation of the work that we've

done just all of these items that are

loading are loading significantly faster

right all of these images I mean these

things were taking like ten times as

long to load and you can see there's a

lot of them

so my CDN has helped out massively one

thing I'm noticing is there's new items

that are taking a long time to load I

can look at this item I know that the

five steps to build a successful online

business this is my newest blog post

that's now showing up on my blog role I

just published this last night

so it has not cashed in the front end of

my home page and that's okay this line I

fully expect once that's cashed and my

plugin rebuilds my cache every 10 hours

unless I go manually run that this 573

millisecond line will probably become 53

or 12 milliseconds like these other ones

do and this is the game so I can still

go in farther I can figure out what is

this more tracking code that's taking a

while to load I can still go deeper into

some of these items if I want but for me

I have made enough positive gains here

in my page speed that I'm good with it

and I'm just gonna let this run as is

for a while whenever you're working with

a caching plug-in and a CDN it's

incredibly important for you to keep an

eye on the workings of your website once

you feel like you've got it configured

you think everything's working I would

definitely take time to load your

homepage on a mobile device

I would load multiple pages and posts on

mobile devices make sure everything

looks good go through your often

sequence test your funnels because

caching and these CDNs can sometimes

goof things up when you see things

aren't working great it's better for you

to identify this yourself than to have

people trying to go through and one

helpful individual finally emailing you

and saying hey your stuffs broken which

is great what people do that so thank

you if you've ever helped me in that way

I do appreciate that

so be proactive and again if things

aren't working right you can always

deactivate the

kind of WP rocket plug-in and what that

will do is put you in a position to kind

of roll back any changes you made it'll

bring your site back up both WP rocket

and key CDN which you can get at miles

becker com4 / CDN both of them have

support teams so you can reach out via

email if things if you can't get things

configured and figured out that's why

you're paying for these services is not

only for the services themselves but to

have support getting it all dialed in

correctly I hope this has been helpful I

do believe that a good caching solution

and a good CDN is something that every

content marketer needs on their website

because we as users on our smart phones

we demand things to load almost

instantaneously now and if they don't

load quickly enough we're clicking that

back button we're on to the next so keep

this all in mind I hope this has been

helpful for you I recommend if you go

down this path spend a couple of days a

weekend get in do a big push and then

get out and there's no need to revisit

this stuff on an ongoing basis once it's

configured the only way I'm gonna go

back in here is number one if I'm

noticing something on my websites

loading really slowly from just kind of

putting up new blog posts and go looking

and doing Quality Assurance on my blog

post if I noticed things are loading

slowly I'll come in and take a look

around or if I notice something's not

working correctly I'll come in and take

a look around to figure out what's going

on but other than that I'm gonna ignore

PageSpeed for the next year plus and get

back to what really moves the needle in

my business which is content marketing

list growth etc etc if you've enjoyed
