MakeWPFast is a WordPress performance lab focused on the backend bottlenecks that caching plugins and CDNs can't fix.
While 90% of WordPress speed advice is about the frontend โ compressing images, minifying CSS, adding cache
layers โ the real slowdown usually lives deeper: bloated wp_options autoload data, unoptimized database
queries, and PHP memory that grows with every plugin you install.
### What we do
### How it works
Every entry is backed by real benchmark data, not opinion. We install each plugin in a controlled environment, measure the before/after delta on database queries, autoload weight, and page render time, then publish a speed score you can trust.
### Who it's for
Developers, agencies, and site owners who want to know which plugins actually slow WordPress down.

Django REST Framework includes throttling features, but they are not enabled by default. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
