 * Hi,
 * I would just like to ask for some suggestions how to optimize pagespeed for a
   WordPresssite, that has to work good on edge and IE too. The page mentioned is
   using the Avada-Theme which is not perfect but there is no chance to change it.
 * I faced different problems when I used some of the more famous plugins to optimize
   it. (like autoprimize, bj lazy load etc. which are working perfect for firefox
   and chrome).
 * One of my ideas was to use a plugin like wp2static – but I am not sure yet if
   that would really solve my problem. Maybe someone already faced this problems
   🙂
 * I am happy for any hint / tipp / idea
 * Have a great weekend and thanks for the help in advance!

 * Hi [@smartninja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smartninja/),
 * Author of WP2Static here. It can strip a bit of unneeded WordPress tags from 
   the page, but so can Clearfy, and with more options.
 * Where it is most useful is at the server level, ie by allowing you to host somewhere
   super fast like Netlify and to allow for full-page caching on CloudFlare (which
   you can also do without the plugin and is a good, free way to get faster global
   speeds).
 * The other benefit you get from a faster server with a fully static site are that
   there are no moving pieces, no calls to the database or multiple PHP functions
   being called from your theme and plugins.
 * That alone may speed up your site quite a bit, but is a different kind of optimization
   than the minification and concatenation something like Autoptimize does.
 * Are you users globally distributed? If so, it’s more important to go with a fast,
   global host/CDN like Netlify or CloudFlare.
 * As you continue optimizing, I recommend to track your pageload speeds as you 
   change various things and test them from major POPs around the world, using something
   like Pingdom, GTMetrix, etc.
 * Happy to help you with any questions on the static side of things, my plugin 
   or other.
 * Cheers,
 * Leon
 * PS. I gave a general talk on static, available on WordPress.tv or Youtube, may
   help explain a bit better static vs caching plugins.
