MakeWPFast
MakeWPFast is a WordPress performance lab. We benchmark 35,000+ plugins and 200+ themes for their real backend impact - autoload bloat, slow database queries, PHP memory - and publish the measured data others ignore.
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
- Benchmark plugins โ 35,000+ WordPress plugins analyzed for their measured impact on autoload size, query count, and load time.
- Test themes โ 200+ themes profiled for backend performance.
- Head-to-head comparisons โ 580+ data-driven plugin and theme comparisons so you can pick the faster option before you install.
- Error guides โ diagnostic walkthroughs for common WordPress performance and configuration problems.
- Free diagnostic tools โ scan your own site for autoload bloat, slow queries, and memory issues. No guesswork โ just measurements and actionable reports.
### 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.
A startup from Wroclaw, Poland that is founded by Marcin Dudek.
