WordPress powers 43% of the web, but most installations are running at 20% efficiency. Enterprise-grade WordPress requires strategic optimization across multiple layers.

Essential optimizations:
- Implementing Redis caching layer
- Using WP Super Cache with browser caching
- CDN integration (CloudFlare, AWS CloudFront)
- Database optimization and query reduction
- Plugin auditing and dependency removal
- Enabling GZIP compression

We've helped enterprise clients reduce page load from 4.2s to 0.8s using these methods, resulting in 35% conversion rate improvements.
