This WordPress website was scoring around 50 on mobile.

The obvious reaction?

Blame WordPress.
Blame the hosting.
Install another speed plugin.

But that wasn’t the real problem.

So instead of randomly “optimizing” everything, I started treating the website like a diagnosis.

First, I looked at what the visitor had to download: oversized images, the hero section and assets affecting the initial load.

Then came the browser workload: unnecessary JavaScript, CSS, fonts, third-party scripts and plugin assets loading where they weren’t even needed.

After that, I worked through caching, server response, critical resources and the unnecessary requests quietly adding weight to every page.

One bottleneck at a time.

The result?

Around 50 → 91 mobile performance.

With:

⚡ 1.4s First Contentful Paint
⚡ 80ms Total Blocking Time
⚡ 0.03 Cumulative Layout Shift

And this is the part most people get wrong:

A slow WordPress website doesn’t automatically need a new host, fewer plugins or another optimization plugin.

It needs someone to figure out what is actually slow first.

Performance optimization isn’t about throwing tools at a website and hoping the score turns green.

It’s diagnosis. Then optimization.

My Take: 💡

As someone who loves building with WordPress, I love seeing Core get these "power user" features. It raises the floor for everyone.

Which of these is making it into your next project? Let’s hear it. 👇

WordPress 7.0 Beta 1 is finally hitting the wild. 🛠️

I’ve been digging through the February dev notes, and while the "average" user might not see much, for those of us doing advanced builds, there are some massive shifts.

#6: The Wildcard: MCP (Model Context Protocol). 🤖

WordPress is becoming "AI-aware." The new adapter lets AI agents interact with WP "Abilities" via the CLI. We’re moving toward a world where you can tell an AI to "Audit my site settings and optimize," and it actually happens.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

@corbin_braun Yes, that 1 dev can build the whole ecosystem, dev community, plugins, themes and what not.

Thats what new vibe coders say when they build a new note taking app on 127.0.0.1 and share its link online for people to access.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

@jameswlepage @wordpressdotcom @claudeai An MCP server for WordPress development is highly needed as well in these times.

I guess WP is quiet slow keeping up with the AI developments.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

Hey, @WordPress when are you guys adding MCP for WordPress Development? This is high time it is implemented as it will help WP development much easier and solid.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

@_Riyatwt Claude. Claude. Claude. Claude 🙌

Vibe coding is free puppies for everyone.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

@photomatt Its only beneficial for those who are already developers or technical.

For the rest non techies, its just fancy code without knowing what to make out of it.

At the end of the day, clients dont pay for note taking apps.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

@suppvalen @moltbook I think this is more of BS than reality.

Its not fully autonomous agents doing the talking here, its more of humans behind them with instructions.

How the hell they can get the money to make purchases and do such actions? Obviously given by the agent owner.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

@Aiden_Tech_Ai Bruh, its AI trend now. Go on and bring something in AI so people can fall for. Youtube is history now in these sort of false claims.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

@alexeydavis I can feel the happiness behind this.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

@mattrbowles Well it depends on what type of website is being built.

If its a simple website, then a week at most.

If its a highly scalable website with dynamic features, internal portal and more then 1 month is the right time.

In short, depends on website.

[Mansoor Ahmad @TheMansoorX]

Oh, the irony 😁
