How to get a 100 in Google PageSpeed and 99 in GTMetrix and Pingdom Tools with WordPress!

i was struggling for quite some time to get a decent nice rating for the performance. The majpr tools seemed pretty picky and all the measures i found were not fully satisfying. My recent approach though was amazing. I now have pretty awesome results with my average WordPress main site. Have a look:

Pingdom Tools – Grade A – 94

Googel PageSpeed – A Score of 100

GTMetrix – 99%

How did I do that? Let me explain

This is where i started: 70 Average rating from Pingdom tools.

I used these tools:

• At first i Did a Plesk check to make sure all necessary apache modules are active: deflate and expire.
• Then i installed these two plugins:
  • WP Hide & Security Enhance – To narrow down all the source code and hide the fact I use WordPress (more or less)
  • WP Speed of Light – The best caching plugin i have ever seen – I am amazed by that free plugin. Even better than WP fastest Cache
• Some minor htaccess tweaks for longer expires and gzip
• At least soem tweaking on the them side: I have put all my CSS in my child themes style.css and ditched the revolution slider for a basic and slim slider-element.
