Google loves speed, so do your users. If your website doesn’t load fast in SERP, you are losing clients as well as website ranking. There are multiple factors that cause slow website loading but the major one is excessive usages of CSS and JS files. If you built your site by utilizing a tool like AppDrag which allows you to perform numerous customizations with a drag & drop builder for creating a responsive page for ultimate user experience. But if you didn’t utilize it for creating your site, there’s a high probability that speed poses an issue.

So what’s the solution to increase website speed?

There are two ways to optimize your website speed. First, you hire a developer who removes bad code and scripts causing slow speed or you use the WP Asset CleanUp plugin.

What WP Asset CleanUp Does?

How Does It Work?

Most themes and plugins contain a substantial number of CSS and JavaScripts files that reloads when you load a page. However, a large number of CSS and JavaScripts files decrease the website load time because of the total number of HTTP requests increased.

WP Asset CleanUp decreases the number of HTTP requests to enhance your website speed. Let’s see it in action.

Again I tested the same website after installing the WP Asset CleanUp with Pingdom tools.

As you can see, now it loads within 2.79s which is a lot better from Google’s point of view.
