Answer 1

Follow the instructions on https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Falthyper.com%2F For example, to "Serve images in next-gen formats" I use a plugin called WebP Converter for Media. Also consider using plugin called Hummingbird for caching and compressing. But it seems you already get score of 100 for desktop. That's pretty good.

This is a loaded question. Did you create the website yourself? If so, you should be thinking about optimisation while you're developing.

If not, then you're going to have to rely on a combination of plugins, reliable hosting and common sense.

Some things to consider:

1. Find a plugin that offloads all local assets (images, JS files etc) to a CDN, and also minifies CSS and JS (WP Rocket might be the way to go).

2. Use a theme that supports lazy loading.

3. Use fast, reliable hosting (WP Engine for example).

4. Keep your database lean - don't keep thousands of revisions if you don't need them.

5. Disable all unnecessary plugins.

6. Edit your wp-config.php file to allow adequate PHP memory allowance, For example:

   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');

This should improve things. Take some benchmarks here, here and here before you do any of this so you have before/after values to compare.

Good luck.
