The boss has gone mad! iGuRu.gr: Find the fastest news site in Greece and you win the site :). Yes, maybe the title is clickbait after all, but you certainly won't find a faster Greek WordPress site with news. For the sake of truth at the end of the publication we list some results.
To get this speed on all of the following machines we had to:
-
- Remove almost all of them pictures of the original
- minimize the size of scripts and css
- remove any unnecessary PHP code, basically rewrite the genesis child we use
- remove any unnecessary code from the css of plugins and theme
- use a trusted and fast server
- carefully select each plugin based on speed
- changes to the autoptimize code
- reduction in the requests of the first σελίδαs (9 only)
- Repairs for Best First Contentful Paint (FCP) and DOM Content Loaded (DCL)
- remove each ad from the original (because the speed counts more)
Let's see the results from GTmetrix, PageSpeed, pingdom and webpagetest:

'So if you still find a faster page, we give you the site together with Dimitris…. :)
The competition ends in a week ...
