Websites that load quickly are more user-friendly and search engines rank them better. Also try not to have your website too cluttered, so it is easy on the eye and easy for user to navigate round it.

What if my website loads faster but with thin content or even copied content from other sites, would search engines rank it better?

They will rank it better, than if it has the same content and loads slower. But, the most important thing about your site is that it is useful to visitors, otherwise why would people visit it?

True. But also thin content and search engines aren't friends as said on BHW.

Bro, if a website wants to be friendly and fast, it must be clean and straight to the point. Don't overload people with too much stuff. Keep navigation easy, layout simple, and content relevant. Speed ​​is everything, so reduce heavy images and optimize your code. Mobile responsiveness is a must, not an option.

Also, set up SEO well. titles, meta, keywords. that's where traffic comes in. Hosting should be stable and secure, SSL is a must. If you keep these basics right, your site will have a pro vibe and people will enjoy visiting it. Play your game smart.

when using images use jpeg file format. Clear cache every so often, and keep the theme simplistic also if your getting high traffic it will also slow down your site performance. Lastly their some really good plugins for wp

While caching plugins significantly improve site speed, pairing them with image optimization can boost performance even further. Using an image optimizer plugin reduces file sizes without sacrificing image quality, helping your site load faster and reducing server load. This is especially useful for image-heavy websites, as optimized images not only improve user experience but also complement caching for a more efficient, faster website.

Absolutely true bro. Those tips are very important for someone dealing with a site. I also use jpeg for images and clearing cache regularly helps the site not to remain slow. Simple theme brings clean speed too.

If traffic increases without optimizing the site can be a snail. WP plugins are mob and some are terrible for performance. But don't install just every plugin. Choose the ones that are suitable for your work. Your site will be hot without stress.
