"The Best course that I've ever seen" (Thanaponth).

"2 Thumbs, Up A++, Home Run. I am glad that not a lot of other Udemy Instructors I've encountered have a similar teaching style because I'd never get any actual work done. I'd be on Udemy all the time learning and not doing! Great stuff!" (Steve Dougherty).

Your WordPress website made not just faster & not merely fast, but one of the fastest websites on the Internet. The Official WpFASTER WordPress Speed Optimization Master Course is, by popular demand, finally here. Enjoy the rewards now!

...2 seconds...

You may have heard it said that this is the amount of time you have to get your content in front of the eyes of your website's visitors before they start to bounce, or before you begin to lose money.

While this 2 second figure is indeed true, it doesn't actually tell the whole story. Website speed is not a game of seconds. It is a game of milliseconds. A game in which a website that is interactive in a literal blink-of-an-eye quicker than yours will enjoy better user engagement, longer on-site times, superior search engine positioning; and, more income. These are the facts.

Now, more than ever, your website's speed is absolutely critical to your site's User Experience; and, your WordPress site's ultimate success or failure:


  • Google found that a 500ms slowdown equals 20% decrease in ad revenue.
  • Amazon finds a 100ms slowdown – one tenth of one second – can mean a 1% decrease in revenue.
  • Yahoo! found that a 400ms improvement in load time translated to a 9% increase in traffic.
  • 27% of users say that visiting a slow site makes them likely to visit a competitor.
  • Google is so committed to speed and User Experience that they are, right within their search results, experimenting with affixing a "SLOW" label to slower websites...


In this, the official WpFASTER WordPress Speed Optimization Master Course, the only course of its kind on the planet, you will not learn how to make your WordPress websites merely faster, but how to make them some of the fastest, most performant websites in the entire world. You will further be able to prove that they are.

This course -- WpFASTER's blueprint -- includes everything you need to know, from theory to application: Basic, to intermediate, to advanced WordPress performance techniques and configurations; to troubleshooting and mitigating optimization issues; and, ultimately, the goods to produce the most incredibly fast WordPress sites on the Web.

And lest I forget, you are going to learn all of this and more without having to know or learn any code whatsoever.

My name is AJ McKay. I am the Managing Partner for WpFASTER, the instructor for the course and here to help you every step of the way.

If you have a WordPress-powered website or blog and can see that this course will, in a very real way, pay you for taking & applying it, the Official WpFASTER WordPress Speed Optimization Master Course is for you!

SPEED. GET SOME.

By Dedalmania - Arranjos de Roupa, Lda José on 5/6/2020

Very comprehensive and to the point I need. It was a fantastic trip for a beginner like myself and I´m sure to return to several times to some chapters. And, last and but not least my site speed went from very poor to 100% in Page speed insigths, 80 in Pingdom and much better results in GTMetrix and WebPageTest. I considered a 4 star for only one reason, and it´s an important one: There are several materials that are outdated. Instantclick plugin is not updated in the past 7 years for example. Cloudfare has a very different dashboard, and so on. It would be great you could update the course and its materials at some point. you.

By Mr. White on 6/22/2018

This course gave me a very good first impression. I have learned ton of performance optimizations that you can do on WordPress. Unfortunately, I think the course is too outdated to provide good improvements to your performance, especially regarding the render-blocking CSS section and the Autoptimize plugin. I have tried every possible combination of this plugin, I never got the results that I expected. There are also lots of plugins mentioned in this course that were not updated and tested with current WordPress versions. Sometimes it kind of breaks your websites or your WordPress admin dashboard. That's a pity, otherwise great course.

By David Lamb on 4/25/2018

Thoroughly enjoyed this course, and would suggest an absolute must for anyone trying to get a website optimised the right way. The brief is a clear outline... preamble, overviews and quizzes on each chapter and the exercises become more granular detailing specifics facets pit falls and benefits of most options during the walk through. Thanks AJ - Looking forward to the release an expanded version on optimisations ?

By Cromer Casas on 2/15/2018

Most of the topics discussed in the course were applicable and working. I felt sleepy while watching most of the topics of this course so a little energy and dynamics on the AJ's side might be helpful. Overall, time and money spent on this course is worth it. Thanks AJ.

By Emin on 3/6/2017

There are times that the instructor keeps repeating itself way too many times. He goes "and again..." which makes the videos too long. All these videos can be much shorter if he gets to the point and explains everything in a better way that does not require for him to say the same thing over and over again! Other then that its a good source of knowledge.

By Ricky Charman on 12/6/2016

A J provides an interesting and engaging course, that is both in depth, and easy to assimilate in bite sized chunks...not too much in one sitting! He has always responded to my questions in a timely manner,and also,in a friendly and helpful way as well:) This has been the most enjoyable of all the courses that I have taken on this site,not just because of the topic,but because of the way A J has structured and implemented it:) This review/rating is long overdue...I have just realized that I had not left a rating/review...oops,sorry A.J:( Thanks very much for all your hard work in setting up this most excellent course:)

By Lucy Fonti on 8/6/2016

After page and broswer caching modules, increased speed of site from 15secs to 4 seconds. Looking forward to next few modules to see further improvement. Some of the instructions are for earlier of plugins and cloudflare, so options were different.

By je omiland on 2/29/2016

Very pleased with course and know it will be useful. Not only was the content great, this whole delivery platform w/quizes, supplimental stuff was well thought out. Am using the material trying to optimize a very social media heavy site CassClayton.com/dev (dev part disappears soon) and already see some greta improvement - hope the client is as pleased as I am. Big WARNING for anybody who reads this - some theme/plugin combos can make this process maddening, so remember to Manage your Caches and Flushing well!!! Also I probably could have avoided some headach by turning Development mode on in CloudFlare as that's where I got hung up. Well done, YO!

By Franco Valentino on 12/3/2015

AJ presents this fairly technical subject in an easily digestible way. The videos are comprehensive, without going overboard, and deliver on what was promised in the headline. I've been programming software for more than 20 years, and AJ presented some server topics that we're completely new to me. This course is very well done, and provides results. Within 2 days of finishing the video, I was able to take a customers website from the 65th percentile in speed to the top 10th. And that's without sharding or CDNs. Kudos AJ - and thanks for sharing - but I'm keeping this new found knowledge away from my competitors.
