Removing useless plug-ins is the first and foremost tip to speed up your site, sometime some plug-ins can be integrated with our blog\u2019s template if possible do it, otherwise it\u2019s advisable to avoid using unnecessary plug-ins.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2.<\/strong><strong>Use plug-ins<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You may be really wondering, what this fellow is saying. Yes, it\u2019s true; some plug-ins helps to optimize your blog and thus provides a good performance. WordPress Super cache plug-in is the best among it, these plug-ins cache your pages and stores it as HTML files so that you can escape from the high loading time that occurs when a WordPress site loads which is build up on PHP based content management systems. Other plug-ins that works similar to WP Super cache are Total Cache plug-in, WP Minify, Lazy Loader Plug-in, etc\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3.<\/strong><strong>Optimize Images<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Images are an unavoidable factor in blogs, images makes a blog post attractive and will convey the matter easily but images with more size will affect the loading time of your blog very badly. So it is better to use images with less size or you can optimize images with easy tools like Riot or you may upload images to other image hosting like Flickr and copy it from there. You can also use image editors like Photoshop to optimize your images, the Save for web option in Photoshop under the file menu helps you to do it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jeeskdenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/wp-speed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-639\" title=\"wp  speed\" src=\"http:\/\/jeeskdenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/wp-speed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"http:\/\/jeeskdenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/wp-speed.jpg 404w, http:\/\/jeeskdenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/wp-speed-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. <\/strong><strong>Compress Scripts and CSS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Compressing your HTML codes, Java scripts, CSS, etc by removing the white spaces is the next step to speed up the site.\u00a0 The WordPress plug-in css compressor can be used to compress your CSS lines and while writing CSS remember to use the shorthand\u2019s than using the lengthy lines. For compressing the JavaScript\u2019s the best WP plug-in is Js Compressor, which compresses your JavaScript\u2019s by about more than half and thus increases the site speed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. <\/strong><strong>Disable Post Revisions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Post revisions was not so a good facility for blogs that has only single author but it seems to be an effective tool for multi-author blogs. The post revisions creates a new row\u00a0 in your <em>wp_posts<\/em> table whenever you edits or saves a post and it is likely to save a post more than one time. So a new row is created during each save and memory is lost due to it. So to avoid it you need to add the following code segment to your <em>wp-config.php<\/em> file:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>define(&#8216;WP_POST_REVISIONS&#8217;, false );<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We live in a flying world; everything here needs to have a minimum speed in order to get noticed.
