How to Score 100/100 on Google PageSpeed Insights

 
Simple, start by getting hosted with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Google PageSpeed Insights is a very popular tool Google has made available to website owners. It provides a behind the scenes look at your web site. Not by how "You" see your web site, but by how Google Search algorithms view your web site. The tool provides advice on what changes you need to make both on the Desktop and Mobile versions of your web site.

By electing to be hosted Google themselves, it takes care of one of the most important issues which is speed. Once you’re hosted with Google you need to address other factors such as leveraging your browser cache, minifying your CSS and Javascripts. For that, you should use the WP Rocket caching plugin. While we’ve tested many caching plugins, WP Rocket seems to out perform all other plugins of this nature. Even Google recommends using them.

The WordPress theme you’re using is also vital. Equally important are factors such as sizing down your images, using the correct verbiage you wish to be found by and much more.

The last factor is security. Google Search now demands that all web sites be secure with their own SSL certificate, something that's free when you have us setup and configure your domain name on your own dedicated web server.
