Honestly, I cannot say how this video helped me enough. I have been designer & administrator of over 60+ small business websites and nothing could fix my sites to pass core web vitals on search console. I've tried everything! This worked omg. 19 Mobile speed to 90 and 99 desktop. Validating fixes in console now, will come back when they're validated.
I was having issues with WP Rocket. Just switched to NitroPack free version and the result: no issues, speed 94 and 99. I’ll be happy to pay the money now.
I went from 4 to 2,5 seconds! It works perfectly fine! I just followed your steps in the video and before I had complete your tutorial, it was already working. Easy like that, thank you so much!
Best plugin ever!!! you were totally right. My website has never been so fast and my speed scores have drastically changed. The best advice I've ever had from youtube videos and I've watched a lot of videos. Thanks so much
Use the test circle before turning on HTML compression. It will auto detect the setting. This can harm performance if you already have compression at server level.
Something weird just happened to me - I did everything you said to do the video, and my scores jumped up drastically. However, a few minutes later, they dropped back to basically what I had before. The only thing I changed was that I updated a few of my other plugins. Not sure why this might have dropped my scores so much, but wondering if there is something I missed?
@@danielmartin7873 I had the exact same experience. Are you still using the plugin a year later? @wesmcdowell Any thoughts on this? Thanks for the amazing video!
Sadly, even on the lowest setting, my website wouldn't load using Nitro at all. I'll fiddle with the settings a little and see what can be achieved. Thanks for the video Wes.
Not sure Matthew, I'd say play around with the intensity settings. Some ppl say the ludicrous mode breaks stuff on their site, so maybe downshift it to strong or medium?
I do not see that much...before mobile: 26, desktop 74, after plugin mobile: 65, and desktop 74. Basic theme without additional elements on the website with a lot less content than you have.
hi tried it and installed it, indeed the google page speed test was 99 for my site(for mobile, previously 52) but didn't work well for my site even moving the bar to standard, the plunging wp optimize does a better job on my site, so i uninstalled it
Hi, Great vid and gave the plugin a try on two of my poor performaing websites. The results on desktop were great but mobile still socks. Any suggestions for helping mobile sites?
Thanks for this tip, I'll be trying it out. The deeper I go into SEO, the more I'm pivoting to simple site design, and it doesn't have to be boring, I'll compensate with appealing illustrations and images, but just very basic. I did build a bunch of Elementor sites with your training system, and I'll keep a few 'as is' but new sites I'm going in different direction. How about the 'mobile friendly' google test? I'm not seeing any of my sites passing that test... I'm still testing parameters. I'll figure it out.
Finally getting my elementor sites to pass mobile friendly test. All I did was go into dashboard > appearance > customize > global > typography and select one of the preset fonts (pairing). Body text was set at 16px. Also had a elementor footer template in place. So, for some reason google is liking those preset fonts.
update again: nav menu may block the pass if there are more than a few links - make body text 20px. And no CTA buttons in hero section, move down page where they belong. These both interfered w pass.
Its still up in the air if Nitropack is blackhat or all legit. I wouldn't be going near it for the moment. You could be looking at future penalties from google if its true that they are somehow cheating the system. I looked into this a few months back and really couldn't find any definite answer so I decided against it. I ran tests on one of my websites to test the water and the hits tanked inside 2 weeks. Ill be playing it safe for now and doing the hard work with normal optimisations
It worked really well on desktop and tablet. But not on mobile as several images were blurred (not all images). Has anybody come across this situation? I still would like to use it if I can find a solution.
@@WesMcDowellInc Thanks to you. For such great efforts and excellent videos. Your videos improved my knowledge and, most of the time, saved me a lot of trouble.

Glad it worked out for you, Aaron! Keep it up and thanks for watching! :)
Dude, you have no idea how long I was working on my speed. And now after doing this for 2 minutes my site is from 5.8 seconds to 2.3. Crazy!!
Glad you tried it and worked well for you. 😁

Scammer software! I you say anything critical it is being removed!
Can you do a further comparison with WP Rocket? I am interested in how they both perform when compared. Thank you
You should never use multiple cache plugins.
I agree! Please make a video comparing wp rocket and nitropack

Do I need to disable other caching plugins ?
You just saved my business. Thank you.
Glad I could help, Daniel! Best of Luck and thanks for watching!😊

The scores are back up. What in the world is going on?
And now it's back up. What the heck.

You can do it! Keep us posted on your progress using Nitro. Thanks for watching! :)
I install this on my website, and it's working fine so far. Will this plugin affect Google Analytics?
HOLY COW. Literally went from a mid 70's on desktop to 99! Thank you!
You're welcome Darien! Thanks for watching.,
It works on Safari, but it changes they layout of my homepage on Chrome. Any suggestions?

Hello Wes, which the best Plugin between Nitropac and WP Fastest
Or Cloud Flare
I love Nitropack! Cloudlfare has a different purpose, and I haven't really used it much personally.
*Hey bro, This is amazing. Can I use it for the client website?*
Go ahead! Thanks for watching! :)
I do not see that much...before mobile: 26, desktop 74, after plugin mobile: 65, and desktop 74. Basic theme without additional elements on the website with a lot less content than you have.
but after again running PageSpeed Insights it looks much better. TNX a loot for sharing this plugin.
Glad it worked out for you at the end. Thanks for watching, Stojan! :)
I think the tool doesn't have the free plan anymore
Fantastic!! Went from 35/58 to 90/100 (mobile/desktop) Wow :)
Nice work! Thanks for Watching! :)

This is paid plugin otherwise its leave water mark which is not looking good in website
Its at the very bottom of the page, (below footer) I wouldnt worry about it.
Seems like NitroPack is no longer free ☹
Yea, I think it switched to paid a while ago.
This is the best social media marketing channel I have ever seen. And I’ve seen lots of videos.
Thx Andrew - I appreciate hearing that 😊 🙌
Has made no difference to my site
unfortunately no longer available for free
There is still a free plan, just checked the pricing page. 👍 It's below the other options.
there is no free plan anymore
