Use lazy loading if needed

WP Rocket's lazy loading features
If you add lots of images, multiple embedded video content, and photo galleries to your blog posts, your site can benefit from lazy loading.

Instead of uploading all your images and videos at once, lazy upload only uploads the ones that will be visible on your account screen. It replaces all other embedded images and videos with a replacement image.

When an account scrolls down, your site loads images that are now visible in the browser's viewport. You can lazy-load images, videos, and even WordPress comments and gravatars.

You can learn more in our guide on how to easily lazy load images in WordPress rich people database where we cover how to do this using the WP Rocket and Optimole plugins .

For WordPress comments, see our guide on lazy loading comments in WordPress .


Use a site firewall at the DNS level
How website firewall blocks attacks
A WordPress firewall plugin helps you block brute force attacks , hacking attempts, and malware. However, not all firewall plugins are created equal.

Some of these are running on your site, meaning attackers can already reach your web server before they're blocked. This is still effective in terms of security, but it's not optimal in terms of performance.

That's why we recommend using a DNS-level firewall like Cloudflare or Sucuri . These firewalls block malicious requests before they even reach your site.
