Extreme Site Optimization For Speed Loading

While I don’t agree with everything said, Brave New Word’s article, “Web Developers, Speed Up Your Web Pages”, does offer some excellent tips on optimizing for web pages for speed.

Excellent points for everyone to follow include cleaning out unnecessary spaces, tabs, and code; using medium to high compression and small file sizes on images; keep javascripts and cookies small and avoid them if you can; dump table layouts; and cleaning up anything in your Theme or page code that makes too many requests on the database.

I’ve talked about this before, and I offer my own tips in the following articles. Just remember, if you are using WordPress, other than cleaning up the excessive use of spaces and tabs in the Themes, WordPress comes pretty optimized right out of the box. Just make sure that your blog’s code is error free and the Theme is not making too many requests on the database, which does slow things down while loading.
