Wohoo, congrats on the speed boost of the website!
Any tips on how you've achieved it?
Thanks!
Hello and thank you.
We switched 2-3 days ago to PHP 8.0.x and also we updated to WP 6. Not sure what made the difference, probably PHP8.
The funny thing is, we could have better Structure score but google adsense brings the score down.
You checked the Home page and that is Cached. The Forum pages are not cached, since the WP Plugin we use doesn't want to be cached:
@maximus Funny thing is that now the Forum feels faster too. 😀
Wordpess 6 didn't provide any speed changes, at least i haven't found any such information. So it must be PHP 8.0 (from 7.4).
@editor they did some:

https://wptavern.com/wordpress-6-0-to-introduce-performance-improvements-for-custom-pages
@tango I have totally missed those. So maybe WP 6 did speed things up also.
In a week or so we will also have an update for the forums plugin, a total rewrite of wpForo, that is believed to be faster and a lot better. Visually also much more attractive.
