當仍然有足够的立刻被顯示的內容保留您的目標觀眾感興趣時，其中一個挑戰以網頁維護可接受的裝貨時間。 當I首先被裝載的Wordpress作為我首選的blogging的後端和繼續定做題材，裝載所有裝飾物時，增加一個相集，某一advertizing… 您得到圖片，標準 Wordpress blog，我是未察覺的我的blog有成為的slooooow…。
It’ s感興趣，當您在您的blogs題材工作得到它正權利您實際上變得未察覺您的blog變得很慢人事假在頁之前大概完成裝載。 在您體會it’之前，後端也變得阻撓慢，它一般採取某人給您帶來它注意; s問題。
這首先帶給我的關注 Surgey從你好妖怪. 實際上我的blog接收在使以後明白它我決定的10秒裝載我需要採取行動。
好我現在知道什麼問題是怎麼我去固定它？ 很好我發現了幾個容易的方法加速您的Wordpress blog沒有要求任何特別技巧，并且可以非常容易地和迅速做。
一个我的這是安裝 縱火犯Firefox插入式 . 如果您不使用Firefox我建議您試一試。 與縱火犯插入式您能非常迅速看您的網頁的每個部分多久採取對裝載。
在調查我注意一束插入被裝載，即使他們weren’ t激活在我的blog… hmmm… 時刻清掃未使用的插入。 什麼我做着裝載一插入式，測試，決定I didn’ t像和撤銷它。 我應該也刪除了插入式，雖然這減速的主要起因在Wordpress blogs。 如此刪除所有未使用的裝飾物從您的Wordpress插入式目錄。
我注意減速的第二起因是沒在使用的文本裝飾物，但是從容的代碼。 如此為可能接受代碼的所有未使用的裝飾物，確定他們是空的他們否則得到處理并且減速頁裝貨。
相當容易的right… 但that’ s沒有是它為我停止了。 雖然與二簡單的變動在收割巨大獎勵之上我仍然想減少裝貨時間進一步。 因為程序員我認識貯藏所的重要性，因此我發現了好的Wordpress插入式給貯藏功能的服務器端， Wp超級貯藏所 . 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.
Sam
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
