Um dos desafios com Web pages está mantendo uma estadia de carga aceitável quando ainda ter bastante índice imediatamente indicado para manter suas audiências de alvo interessou. Quando I carregou primeiramente Wordpress como minha extremidade traseira blogging preferida e proseguido customize o tema, carregue todos os widgets, adicionam uma galeria da foto, algum advertizing… você começa o retrato, um padrão Wordpress blog, eu era inconsciente meu blog tive slooooow… tornado;.
It’ s que interessa que enquanto você trabalha em seu tema dos blogs para lhe começar a direita justa você se torna realmente inconsciente que seu blog se tornou assim lento que a licença dos povos provavelmente antes da página termina carregar. A extremidade traseira torna-se também frustratingly lenta, ele faz exame geralmente de alguém para trazer-lhe a você a atenção, antes que você realize it’ s uma edição.
Isto foi trazido primeiramente a minha atenção perto Surgey Hello dos Monsters. No fato meu blog estava fazendo exame sobre 10 segundos à carga que após ser feito ciente dele eu decidi que eu necessito fazer exame da ação.
Aprovação, agora eu sei o que o problema é como eu vou sobre o reparar? O poço I encontrou algumas maneiras fáceis apressar-se acima de seu blog de Wordpress sem reque nenhuma habilidade especial e pode ser feito muito fàcilmente e rapidamente.
O primeiro isto que eu era instalar Firebug Firefox Plugin . Se você não estiver usando Firefox mim sugira-o elasticidade ele uma tentativa. Com o Firebug plugin você pode ver muito rapidamente quanto tempo cada parte de seu Web page faz exame à carga.
Em cima da investigação eu observei que um grupo dos encaixes estava carregado mesmo que eles weren’ t ativo em meu blog… hmmm… hora de limpar acima dos encaixes não utilizados. O que eu fazia carregava um plugin, testar, decidindo I didn’ t como e desativa-o. Eu devo também ter suprimido o por mais plugin que esta seja uma causa principal do slowdown nos blogs de Wordpress. Suprima assim todos os widgets não utilizados de seu diretório plugin de Wordpress.
A segunda causa dos slowdowns que eu observei era os widgets do texto que não eram dentro uso mas código contido. Assim para todos os widgets não utilizados que podem aceitar o código, para certificar-se estão vazios de outra maneira eles começam processados e retardam abaixo o carregamento da página.
Right… fácil bonito; mas that’ s não era ele parou para mim. Embora com as duas mudanças simples acima de reaping recompensas grandes eu quisesse ainda trazer para baixo os tempos de carga mais mais. Porque um programador mim me conhece a importância do esconderijo, assim que encontrou um Wordpress agradável plugin que dá a usuário a funcionalidade caching lateral, Esconderijo Super do Wp . Not only was the name catchy it did actually reduce load times and didn’t require the reader to do anything.
Ok, were still on some pretty easy stuff here and if everybody followed the above recommendations then your blog would definitely load faster.
Now it’s nearly unavoidable to rely on external resources to provide some form of content on your blog, i.e. adsense, mybloglog, adtoll… etc.. etc.. the list goes on.
So how do you optimize these? One strategy is to make sure your content loads before the external links, so one thing I did was put the mybloglog code in the footer.php. Now this may be beyond some peoples ability so be careful. The advantage I have with the mybloglog in the footer is that my blog loads before all the little mybloglog thumbnails have completed loading, and I have a lot of them!
Now generally blogs have some some advertising, so there are two things you can easily do here. Make sure images include height and width attributes. This will allow the browser to allocate the image space before the image is loaded, and for code based advertising place the code in an iFrame so your page continues to load regardless of what the iframe is doing. Both these tips are very effective.
Now it appears that the average persons ability to wait for a page to load is 8-10 seconds, anything longer and you risk losing your audience, and with the above tips hopefully your blog will load it’s main content within this time frame.
There is one more tip I have but this is not for the faint of heart. You can compress your .css files to reduce data that needs to be loaded. Now .css files are beautifully formatted so they are man readable, but your web browser doesn’t care, so you can save up to 30% of load times for .css files by removing all the lovely spaces, pagination, tabbing etc in the .css files that make them man readable. There a many utilities to compress your .css files and give reports on how much the file size is reduced. e.g. Icey. As I said this is not for everyone though.
I hope you can all reduce load times and feel free to leave more tips in the comments for all to learn.
Have a Safe and Happy New Year.

Nice tips, Paul.
I use YSlow myself and as you know, I’m thinking of redoing my blog design as well… it just seems so… blah.
I also read on Yahoo Developer Network about Best Practices for Speeding up Your Web Site. I would love, love to design my own blog template but geez, too much on my plate. I’d probably get the book too if I ever decide to do it.
yeah, I agree with making our own templates to get exactly what we want..but no time, so much beer and only one mouth 
Thanks for the link, maybe I can squeeze some more speed.. and of course share with the community.
Can ICEY compress ANY HTML type files? If you don’t compress on blogspot, anything other than pure text can come out looking like garbage.
Anyways, thanks for an excellent, very helpful, article.

Your blog was still slow when I accessed it. One thing you might consider is changing host. Also if your sql isn’t configured correctly can also cause slow load times. There are so many things that cause the problems it is hard to lay down any one single solution.
I use a couple of these plugins myself and have the very useful for server load time and bandwidth usage.
Hey Sam, my tips were aimed at wordpress not blogger and Icey is only for .css files, not html. cheers
thanks Chris, I still sometimes see slow loading but generally it is ok, and as you pointed out I definitely need a new hosting service, I think I am stuck on their 486-100mhz server in their back shed … definitely a task for the new year !
Can you please post some specific example code in a textarea box?
“Now generally blogs have some some advertising, so there are two things you can easily do here. Make sure images include height and width attributes.”
David, I emailed you direct.. cheers
Thats a plugins (widgets) developer fault. Wordpress has various build-in methods/functions for managing external files (js/css)on specific case and task i.e: is_active_widget(id) || is_?(?) || get_option(’active_plugins’) ||add_action & add_filter ). Unfortunately not all used it thought. I found a good theme (suprise) that cleverly apply this methods. Its only load the external files if the widget or plugins is active on the request page. its even combine-hash-gzip all the external as single files (js/css). You can view it on my blog for demo and check how it hook openid & wordpress default widgets external files.

well i just lost my comment since when you hit tab it doesn’t go to the submit button…
so here is the shorter version.
Thanks for the tips. I was unaware of the text widget issue.
after compressing the css files we did that with the js files as well and then changed the .htaccess file to send gzip’d versions of those files if the browser supports it.
I recently became aware of 2 problems that severely impact your WordPress blog performance and slows down your blog.
NOTHING impacts it more then bloated database! The tables of your database “wp_options” can grow pretty large and bring your blog to a c-r-a-w-l.
It forced me to look at bigger issue as in process of cleaning I discovered that all plugins I have ever installed and even a couple themes managed to leave entries in very same table contributing to the total size and slow load times.
All the plugins and even some themes use wp_options to set its setting and as such contribute to the size of the table. It is very same table used by WordPress to store ALL settings related to your blog and every time you open any page it has to be read and processed.
When you deactivate plugin or decide to switch theme (assuming it stored its settings in wp_options) – it NEVER cleans behind itself.
You have to login to your phpMyAdmin and open database for your blog and Browse action for wp_options table and go through it record by record.
It may take hours…but your blog speed and users will Thank you for it.
Hmmm….I hit submit and went to the top of the page?
My short version is… All the plugins and even some themes use wp_options to set its setting and as such contribute to the size of the table. It is very same table used by WordPress to store ALL settings related to your blog and every time you open any page it has to be read and processed.
So….You’ll need to login to your phpMyAdmin and open database for your blog. Click on Browse action for wp_options table and go through it record by record.
May take hours but your blog and users will Thank you for the increaed speed.
I have tried to post a valuable comment twice…and I float back to the top of the page after clicking submit. Guess you don’t want anymore comments…but then you should close the comment box.
Hey Cheryl, your comments made it through, don’t know what caused the issue. sorry about that. Good tip about the database, I may be brave enough to give it a try. cheers
