    Hello,

    Can I please ask you for advice on how to reduce the number of requests to make the loading faster? I know it may be better to reach out to WP Rocket but I thought I may try to ask you if you’ve got any advice. As already mentioned, I’m using WP Rocket as caching plugin and I’ve got most of the options enabled to make the performance better. However, as the SEO analysis shows, there are still too many requests. Therefore, if you had any advice, it would be great. Otherwise, if there is someone else I should contact (f.e. WP Rocket, WordPress, etc.), please, let me know.
    Thank you very much.

    Best
    Tomas

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math.

    A single web page that you browse is made up of multiple elements. You have the actual HTML, JavaScript, CSS, images, and then external resources. The issue is that the server must request each object separately, which further adds to the page’s loading time. If you could combine some of the resources together, that will reduce the number of requests, which will cut down on load times.

    There is no established baseline on what the number of requests should be, but the lower, the better. In this test, Rank Math looks at the number of requests that are made, and you pass if the number of requests is less than 20.

    To fix this, you need to reduce the number of images, scripts from the theme that are making non-essential requests.

    I would recommend you go through these detailed articles:

    I hope that helps.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
