Speed matters. These five hosting-level changes can give your WordPress site a measurable speed boost — many are included with GoWiz hosting.

1. Use modern PHP & OPcache

Run the latest stable PHP supported by your site (and enable OPcache).

2. Server-level caching

Server caching outperforms plugin-only solutions — ask your host to enable it.

3. Optimized database & object caching

Use a managed host that runs regular DB optimizations and supports object caching.

4. CDN & image optimization

Edge caching and WebP images reduce load times for geographic visitors.

5. Reduce busy plugins

Audit and remove plugins causing heavy CPU or slow DB queries.
