10 Proven Ways to Speed Up Your Website

Visitors leave slow sites, and Google ranks fast ones higher. The good news: most speed wins are simple. Start here.

The quick wins

1. Use NVMe hosting — fast storage speeds up everything.
2. Enable caching (server-side and a plugin) so pages don’t rebuild on every visit.
3. Optimise images — compress them and serve modern formats like WebP.
4. Use a CDN such as Cloudflare to serve content closer to your visitors.
5. Minify CSS & JavaScript to cut file sizes.

Going further

6. Lazy-load images and videos below the fold.
7. Keep your CMS, themes and plugins updated.
8. Run a modern PHP version (8.x is much faster than 7.x).
9. Limit heavy plugins and third-party scripts.
10. Choose a host with great infrastructure — it sets your ceiling.

Every BiswasHost plan already ships with NVMe storage, server-side caching and modern PHP, so you start fast by default.
