Guest post by Tom Fanelli, CEO and founder of Convesio
The best thing you can do for your WordPress website in 2021 is to tune up its performance, but that's not always as simple as it sounds. Generally, you can sum up performance as 50% site speed and 50% user experience, otherwise known as UX. Unfortunately, UX improvements often lead to lower site speed, which means you may be faced with a difficult challenge when optimizing your site.
It takes a delicate balance, but it's possible to fine-tune your WordPress performance by enhancing both UX and site speed when you choose the right techniques and technology.
My name is Tom Fanelli and I'm the co-founder of Convesio, a next-generation managed WordPress host. With two decades of digital experience, I've gone from owning my own agency to taking on multiple senior executive roles at large public companies.
In this post, I'll cover the most common issues I see with WordPress performance while considering the perspective and impact of both speed and UX, as well as what you can do about them. Let's get to it!

When you visit your favorite celebrity’s website, do you stop to think about what kind of content management system they’re using? Maybe, maybe not, but either way, it’s impressive to see what some of the most well-known people in the world use to stay connected to their fans and update their audience on what’s to come.
Not surprisingly, a good amount of celebrities put their trust in WordPress to showcase who they are and what they’re about. Most of the time, their website is the tool that increases their revenue, builds onto their brand, and sends messages to fans. It’s something that connects them to their audience, so if it isn’t reliable, the whole thing could come crashing down and lots of damage can be done.
Update: Congratulations to our lucky 9th Anniversary winners!
