So, what is it all about, how to speed up wordpress blog ?

I woke up one great North pole morning, turned up my penguin  laptop and opened penguination project website. Hm… it wasn’t opening,  I was waiting five or ten minutes until my wordpress blog opend the home page !!! Crap ! What’s wrong ? I’ve opened google and googled “wordpress blog slow”, yes it is ! Actually wordpress blog software is a very comprehencive application that loads slow natively when your blog reaches big amounts of traffic. Now everything is cool, I didn’t touch wordpress code myself and decided to figure out how to speed up my blog with existing plugins and methods.

There are some basic tips how to speed up your wordpress blog :

1. Never use godaddy Linux hosting, if you are using godaddy linux hosting , godaddy slow itself and it slows everything around. It is a good time to migrate your blog to some serious hosting company like hostgator hosting. I think their basic hosting plan is enough, it’s cheap and your website load times will be sky high !

2. Download and install WP Super cache plugin . This plugin enables pages storing in hosting memory and caching with explorer. And if your blog receives big amounts of traffic, your visitor will not see any sufficial changes in load times. This plugin is a genious one, and probably was made by genious penguin.

3. Images – Use light weight images in your posts, you can decrease the quality of high resolutional images by 60% with adobe photoshop or other software.

4. Use light weight wordpress templates with less graphics as much as possible.

We hope we helped you to speed up your wordpress blog, now i’s your turn .. leave comments and suggestions.
