My website uses WordPress. I’d like to get over 90 on Google’s PageSpeed Insights.

I guess the first thing I’d like to find out if that is even possible.

I was hoping to find a WordPress site that scores 90 or above on Google’s PageSpeed Insights.

  1. Yes, this is possible, and there are some ways to do this.
    -You have to dequeue unnecessary js and CSS files loading on the landing page.
    -Use premium page cache plugins, and follow their instructions.

    Dequeue CSS, JS
    -In your functions.php file use the hooks to dequeue files

     /*Site optimizations*/
    /*Site optimizations*/
    function remove_unnecessary_assets() {
        if (is_front_page()) { // only remove on the home page
    
            // remove CSS
            wp_dequeue_style('style-handler');
    
            // remove JS
            wp_dequeue_script('script-handler');
            
        }
    };
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_unnecessary_assets', 999 );
    

    After removing CSS, JSS make sure your site is working fine.

    Then, use cache plugins:
    Wp Rocket OR
    Nitropack
