Performance Lab
This page shows live performance data from MakeWPFast.com itself. I run WP Multi Tool on this site and publish the results here — because if I cannot make my own site fast, why would you trust my advice?

What I Optimized
Every optimization applied to this site, with the reasoning:
- Theme choice — GeneratePress (no page builder). Minimal CSS and JS footprint.
- Plugin audit — Only 2 active plugins: RankMath SEO and WP Multi Tool. Each one justified.
- Autoload optimization — WP Multi Tool keeps autoloaded data under 55 KB. See the database optimization guide for details.
- Server config — nginx with FastCGI microcache, Brotli compression, browser caching headers. PHP 8.4 FPM. The diagnostic framework explains why these choices matter.
- No page builder — Content uses native WordPress blocks. Zero builder overhead.
The Stack
- Hosting — VPS, nginx + PHP 8.4 FPM + MariaDB
- CDN/DNS — CloudFlare
