June 9, 2016 at 11:32 am #52488YarosIKSpectatorHello, i would like to run my site in https, for this i am using the following in my .htaccess file: <pre class="code-sample-blue">RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] The "time to first byte" of my hosting provider is very slow and the redirect eats additional 2-3 seconds on the loading time of my page, see capture 1. Is there is a way to fix this problem ? a more efficient redirect, or how to force a direct https without redirect? I would really like to reduce my page loading time Also when in WP admin pannel, when i go into "settings - general" i managed to put a https://classpro.be in Site Adress URL, but i can not force the https on the WordPress Adress URL, see capture 2, is this an issue ?June 10, 2016 at 10:45 am #52664Anshuman SahuKeymasterYou can force enable https in your site . please refer this link : http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/ For site speed please note that this is dependent on the server resources and the also on number of plugins and their code taking how much time to execute their scripts . One solution would be to check the plugins that are taking much time in your site . Can you please list the plugins that you are using ?June 15, 2016 at 10:15 pm #53535YarosIKSpectatorHello sorry for my late reply, I actually struggled a lot with the speed problem of my site, i then tried switching host (form godaddy to WP Engine) and oh my god what a change ! you can see webpagetest.org results in Capture1 when at GoDaddy and Capture 2 when at WP Engine. My time to first byte when down from 8 seconds to 0.2 seconds !June 15, 2016 at 10:18 pm #53538YarosIKSpectatorI have a question still. <!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that WP Engine heavily optimize their servers in terms of caching (they have homemade caching algorithms) they also propose a service for CDN</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I know that caching is not advice for WPLMS as it is very dynamic.

Thanks YarosJune 16, 2016 at 12:41 pm #53629Anshuman SahuKeymasterWe usually recommends php opcache and memcache for database which wp-engine already have . So you do not need to worry about the caching on wp-engine . All you have to do is to apply this tip for the login widget : https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/fixing-login-widget-on-wplms-sites-hosted-on-wpengine-com/July 13, 2016 at 3:16 pm #58211YarosIKSpectatorok thanks very much, for me topic can be closed if you want Yaros
