Why Performance Optimization?
Google Core Web Vitals are now a ranking factor. Slow-loading sites negatively impact both user experience and SEO performance.
Server-Side Optimizations
PHP 8.3 usage, OPcache configuration, MySQL query optimization, and proper hosting selection (NVMe + LiteSpeed) are the most effective server-side improvements.
Frontend Optimizations
Converting images to WebP, implementing lazy loading, minifying CSS/JS files, and inlining critical CSS significantly boost page speed.
