Optimize and Speed Up Your Wordpress Blog:
Why my wordpress blog is slow when compared to other sites? Why my posts are loading slowly even I have good hosting? And many questions regarding slow loading of wordpress. Initially one of my blog is on shared hosting. Later I have shifted my hosting to dedicated server as my blog started gaining much traffic. So, first make it clear whether your wordpress blog is getting slow because of less bandwidth or any internal error. As the traffic of your blog increases sites loading time also increases. To avoid this problem you should choose any dedicated server or VPS. If you are having internal problem then just follow guidelines to optimize and speed up your wordpress blog.
Themes and Plugins: Don’t overload your root folder with many themes and plugins. With less plugins you can achieve gain good speed. Better delete all the unused plugins. And remember to use less space wordpress themes (200kb – 400kb) file. I have seen many people use big themes with embedded images. If you want faster loading then don’t go for such themes. Choose simple and attractive themes.
Landing page: Use only 5 posts on the landing page with “read more” option. Each post should display 200 words and not more than that. You can change settings in the wordpress itself. As the number of posts on landing page increases, loading time also increases.
Unused tables in wordpress database: If you are not using any tables then better remove those. Just login in cpanal ->Go to Phpmyadmin ->Open database. You can see many unused tables in your database. The default DB tables for wordpress are these ones:
- wp_comments
- wp_links
- wp_options
- wp_postmeta
- wp_posts
- wp_terms
- wp_term_relationships
- wp_term_taxonomy
- wp_usermeta
- wp_users
If you have any extra tables other than these, then just delete them. Extra tables in database are created by the plugins which we have installed in the past. So better remove those tables if they don’t have any use.
Cleanup your database: Clean your database with clean options. This plugin finds orphaned and unnecessary records from your database and cleans it. This is the best plugin which can optimize and speed up your wordpress blog. And there are few plugins which are not necessary to be installed. Just take their code and insert in the required position. For example let us take “All in one SEO” plugin. Many bloggers says that this plugin is very useful and this plugin need to be install. But I kept metatags directly in the landing page itself. And I used to update metatags separately for each post. So I think this plugin is not much necessary to be installed.
There is a one more beautiful plugin called wp-supercache which speeds up your blog by saving your static html pages to the browser without any heavy impact on the server. This is also a great plugin which helps in speeding up your wordpress blog.
Fixed widgets: There is a small difference between html and php templates. In html templates you can see few widgets will be fixed. I mean blogroll, login or register form, footer, header etc. When any user jumps from domain.com/page1.html to domain.com/page2.html only content changes. All other widgets will be fixed. Even though http request comes to page2.html only content changes. Because of this reason html templates loads faster than php. This can be fixed in php pages too. But we need to change few php codes to html codes. Like sidebar, header, footer can be changed to html widgets and we can make them fixed.
For example:
Following PHP code can be changed to html
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”screen” href=”” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”screen” href=”http://domain.com/wp-content/themes/your-theme- folder-here/style.css”/>
This is one of the best trick to optimize and Speed Up Your Wordpress Blog.
Remove plugin display on the post: Remove if you are using any dig or any social media to display statistics. These plugins puts act as a heavy load on your server. Whenever your server sends http request these plugins sends request to their sites and search for your profile. Instead of using such plugins better go for Feedburner. It simply contains a Javascript which loads from their server.
