(upbeat music) - One of the biggest
frustrations you may run into
when using your WordPress website is page feed.
If your website visitors are frustrated
with how slow your website is,
Google will be just as frustrated.
So I get to show you today a free resource
that you can go plug in right now
to improve your WordPress website page speed.
(upbeat music)
Okay, y'all, the folks over at 10Web
sent me their plugin and said,
"Hey Kori, can you give us your honest feedback?"
So I'm gonna do this on my YouTube channel,
I'm gonna take you right now over to a website
and run their plugin and see what results we get.
This is the website that I wanna test for us,
this is a live site that's out there in the wild right now,
and I wanna show you my whole process of going through
how to actually check the original test speed.
Right, let's go here,
I'm gonna grab the URL onto my clipboard,
I'm gonna go over to Google PageSpeed Insights,
and I'm gonna give you the link
to this in the description box below.
I'm just gonna paste in the URL that you want to test,
so this is the website you wanna test the speed,
and we're gonna click analyze.
It might take a few seconds for it to process through,
but it's gonna show us both the mobile speed
as well as the desktop speed.
Now remember, this is before we're optimizing it.
All right, there's mobile, womp womp.
Oh my goodness, that's painful.
So you're definitely seeing a lot of red here,
we're only getting a 33 out of a 100,
this is definitely some issues.
And this goes further to tell us what we could do
if we wanted to do this as a manual process
to speed up the website.
But I don't know by you, I don't understand half this stuff,
so I'm not gonna worry about that.
I also, while we're here,
wanna take a look at the desktop version here.
Now that's performing better, obviously at 83,
but I'd still love to get that as close to 100 as possible.
So same thing here,
you can kind of zip down through this area
and see what they're saying should be fixed
in a manual process if you wanted to do these things.
You can click on each one of them,
and it'll give you a little bit more insight,
but this video is all about how to do this
in a very automated manner by plugging in 10Web's Booster.
So let's jump over there and experience what this is.
So remember, we have a 33 on mobile and an 83 on desktop.
Now let's go add their plugin.
So this is the free 10Web Booster
that we're gonna use to optimize the site.
Now the thing to note right away
is that this really, the free version at least,
really only optimizes up to five pages on your website.
So if you've got a website that's larger than that,
you might need to upgrade to the pro version,
but you're definitely gonna get your value out of that.
So let's use this free version for now
and see how my website performs.
So you're gonna be looking for 10Web Booster,
and we're gonna go into our dashboard of our website,
go into plugins and say add new.
Up here on the top right hand corner,
we're going to look for 10Web Booster,
and this is it right here,
look at this, you guys,
10,000 plus active installs as of today,
which is just fantastic,
look at those great reviews, love it.
Let's install now and activate.
Oh my goodness, this is so exciting.
I can't wait to see how it improves
just by these couple of clicks
and not having to know any code.
So this one thing right here, I want you to see,
I actually already had a booster running on this website
and unfortunately I still had that poor result,
so I'm going to deactivate that other plugin.
It's given me an alert saying,
"Hey, there's a conflict."
So we certainly wanna be using 10Web Booster only
to see these great results.
So right here, we're gonna go into the sign up and connect.
Remember, this is free for up to five pages,
so again, if you have that small website,
there's not gonna be anything further required.
So sign up and connect,
gonna go over and go ahead and sign up,
remember, you can get started totally for free.
Once you're into your dashboard,
now, you should already see your website,
that's how fast it is.
It's already picked up that this website
has installed that free version.
Let's go into manage, we want to finish optimization.
All right, look right up here,
your live website is unaffected.
Okay, this is the preview.
Okay, this does look good, it's asking,
"Is this preview identical to your live home page?"
It's asking, "Does this look right?"
So go ahead and take a second, scroll down the page,
be sure everything's sitting there
just the way you had already designed your live version.
Everything looks great to me, I'm gonna say looks good.
Click that little button right there with a thumbs up,
it's gonna take just a few seconds to process through.
All right, your website is being optimized right now,
so it's actually working on
calculating the new score for me
to show me what's going on,
it's analyzing everything
and preparing a preview of the website
so we can take a look at it right here in our dashboard.
And there you go, y'all look at this.
Here's the overview of your performance.
They're not really showing my original score here,
that's one of the reasons why I wanted to use
the Google Webmaster Tools to get that initial score.
But look at the improvements,
already I've moved to 100 on the desktop score
and a 91 on that mobile score,
and then it goes further to tell us
what increased page speed means for your company.
Up to 7% increased conversions,
when your website loads faster, people are happier,
they're gonna convert more.
Up to 40% more visitor engagement,
you're gonna see a big boost in that,
because again, their user experience is just fantastic,
especially on mobile, which we see right here,
you're gonna see this up to 53% increase
in mobile traffic engagement,
how exciting is that?
Let's go back over here to our original test
and I'm going to click analyze one more time.
You can see the old score still sitting here,
we're gonna analyze that same website.
This is all in real time, y'all,
you have watched me go
through this without changing anything
other than what you've seen me do here
by adding that one free plugin.
Let's get our new results.
Oh my goodness, look out,
okay, this is Google's perspective of our boost.
It's showing at 89 on mobile now instead of that 33,
and if I go to desktop, look at that 100 performance,
woo, how exciting is that?
Look at all this green goodness happening.
So exciting to see these great results
in just a matter of minutes.
Remember, this plugin is completely free.
It optimizes your homepage,
as well as up to five more pages on your website.
If you do have a larger website,
you probably wanna invest in the pro version of this plugin
so that you see those results across the board.
Y'all, I'm celebrating this plugin,
I plan on putting it in all of my websites
out there in the wild,
and I hope you do as well.
If you use this plugin,
will you show me what your original score was
and what your score is now?
You can put those results in the thread below,
I'd love to see them.
Be sure to give a shout out over to 10Web
for giving us this phenomenal free resource
out in our WordPress community.
I hope you're having a great one, y'all.
I'll see you next week.
Bye everyone.
