Wordpress Speed Optimization Inquiry
-
Hello,
I am curious to know everyones thoughts on speed optimization for wordpress.
I currently use the w3 total cache plugin and was considering adding a CDN like cloudflare.
Does anyone have any experiences with utilizing both of these two together?
What works best for you?

I use a w3 total cache and cloudfare. It rocks! Granted, our site may not be blazing fast to other people's standards, but it was horrendous before. The pageload speed was cut in half and our pagespeed insights score went from the 64ish to 89/90.
Granted, we did a lot of tweaking in addition to the plugin and the CDN, but I have nothing but good things to say about it.
Good luck,
Ruben

After some testing, we found WPEngine to be the best solution for Wordpress site speed. They are a hosting company that specializes in Wordpress and they use a lot of caching and CDNs without you needing to set anything up or worry if things are working properly.
I'm sure similar results can be duplicated by building out your own caching and CDN, this is just another option for you.
