About MakeWPFast

The mission is simple: Make WordPress Fast Again. MakeWPFast is a WordPress performance lab built by Marcin Dudek — a developer who has spent years diagnosing and fixing slow WordPress sites. Not by writing about speed, but by building the tools that deliver it.

Who I Am

I’m Marcin Dudek, the developer behind WP Multi Tool — a WordPress plugin that handles database optimization, autoload management, and slow query detection. I also build nginx-optimizer (server configuration tools) and contribute to the WordPress performance ecosystem through open-source tools and educational content.

My experience spans hundreds of WordPress sites across shared hosting, VPS, and enterprise infrastructure. I’ve seen what actually makes WordPress slow — and it’s rarely what the popular advice tells you.

Why Backend-First

The WordPress speed optimization space is dominated by frontend-focused solutions: image compression, caching plugins, CDNs. These matter, but they’re the easy part. The hard part — and the part that delivers the biggest gains — is backend optimization:

• Database optimization — bloated wp_options tables, excessive autoloaded data, orphaned transients
• Slow query identification — finding the specific database queries that add seconds to page loads
• Server configuration — nginx tuning, PHP-FPM settings, FastCGI caching that actually works
• Plugin audit — identifying which plugins are the real performance offenders

This is what I focus on. This is what I build tools for. This is what I teach.
