About MakeWPFast

MakeWPFast is a WordPress performance lab built by a developer who has spent years diagnosing and fixing slow WordPress sites — not by writing about speed, but by building the tools that deliver it.

Who I Am

I am Marcin Dudek — a WordPress developer and performance specialist. I build tools that make WordPress faster from the backend out. My main projects:

  • WP Multi Tool — WordPress plugin for database optimization, autoload management, and slow query detection
  • fix-wp.com — AI-powered WordPress maintenance and troubleshooting
  • MakeWPFast.com — guides, tools, and real performance data (you are here)

My experience spans hundreds of WordPress sites across shared hosting, VPS, and enterprise infrastructure. I have seen what actually makes WordPress slow — and it is rarely what the popular advice tells you.

Why Backend-First

The WordPress speed optimization space is dominated by frontend-focused solutions: image compression, caching plugins, CDNs. These matter, but they are the easy part. The hard part — and the part that delivers the biggest gains — is backend optimization:

  • Database optimization — bloated wp_options tables, excessive autoloaded data, orphaned transients
  • Slow query identification — finding the specific database queries that add seconds to page loads
  • Server configuration — nginx tuning, PHP-FPM settings, FastCGI caching that actually works
  • Plugin audit — identifying which plugins are the real performance offenders

This is what I focus on. This is what I build tools for. This is what I teach. Start with the diagnostic framework to understand the approach, then dive into the full guide collection.
