Website Speed Tips

10133 views

System Requirements

To use WP Rentals, ensure your setup meets the following requirements:
✅ WordPress: Version 6.0 or higher
✅ PHP: Version 8.0 or higher (affects site speed)

Enable Wp Rentals Cache

WP Rentals includes a built-in caching system that optimizes key elements like property listings and widgets.

Why Use It?

✅ Reduces database requests
✅ Improves page load speed
✅ Automatically refreshes every 4 hours

💡 Important: Do not disable this cache when your site is LIVE and in productions, as no other caching plugin can fully replace its functionality.

Ensure Your Images Are Set Up Properly

Missing Images?

✔️ If you DO NOT use Price Pins, make sure you add property pins to Google Maps to prevent increased API requests.
🔗 Help guide: Pins Management

Enable “Read from File” for Pins

  • Recommended if you have 200+ properties to improve speed.
  • Works manually via the “Generate Pins” button or automatically via cron (every 24 hours).
    🔗 Help guide: Read from File Settings

Limit the Number of Pins where Read From File does not apply 

  • Set a maximum number of pins on the map to match your hosting capabilities (applies to property lists and searches).

3. Optimize Server & Hosting Settings

Enable Gzip Compression

  • Improves loading speed by compressing files.
  • Use a plugin like WP Fastest Cache to enable gzip.
    🔗 WP Fastest Cache & WooCommerce Settings

Use a Hosting Provider with Built-In Caching

  • Look for Memcached, Redis, or a similar caching system.
  • Alternatively, use Cloudflare (free CDN) for caching.

Avoid Cheap Shared Hosting

💡 A very cheap shared hosting plan is not ideal.
❌ Shared hosting means your site competes for resources with hundreds of others.
🔐 Security risk: If one site is hacked, all sites on the server are vulnerable.
✅ Recommended: Get VPS or managed hosting ($20–$30/month) for better speed and security.

4. Remove Unnecessary Plugins

  • Test speed with only theme-required plugins (Visual Composer, Ultimate Addons, Rev Slider).
  • Delete unused plugins to reduce extra delays.

5. Optimize Images

Use plugins like:
✔️ Smush It
✔️TinyPNG
💡 Large images slow down loading times—optimize them for best performance.
