WordPress Optimization promises speed.
- Minification.
- Script deferral.
- Lazy loading.
- Asset reordering.
But what if none of that reduces the actual workload of your system?
This video explains why most “optimization” in WordPress does not eliminate execution — it only restructures presentation. WordPress still boots. Plugins still load. PHP still runs. Database queries still execute.
Nothing fundamental disappears.
Instead, an additional processing layer is added on top of the same workload.
On cached pages, this may look fast.
On dynamic pages — like WooCommerce checkout — the illusion disappears.
- No cache.
- No façade.
- Just real execution.
And that’s where performance truly matters.
Because real performance is not about visual metrics or green scores.
It’s about reducing complexity, execution depth, and system workload.
Optimization that does not reduce work is not performance.
It is complexity management.
