How to speed up WordPress?

I created a dedicated article about speeding up WordPress. It touches on common performance issues. But the answer to this question is more simple than you may think.

Conditional resources (assets/plugins) loading is key to overweighted websites nowadays. The goal is to:

• minimize the number of assets (CSS/JS) (faster rendering, reduced CPU/GPU usage on end device)
• decrease document loading time (minimized TTFB timings, reduced CPU & RAM usage on the server)

You can read detailed Gonzales documentation explaining how to speed up WordPress in theory or take a look at App Shah’s review to understand how it works in real life (Crunchify website case, v.2.0.x used)
