WordPress accelerate

If one runs a WordPress blog, then gather after a few years ago a couple of plugins and scripts, and somehow, the charging time of the blog getting worse. I was concerned at least.

But why load times are that important? Quite simply, if I myself come to a site that loads extremely long, I click after 10 seconds or perceived as easy to leave.

Therefore, it is advisable to respect even how long loads the website and reinzubringen possibly an improvement. But how? So as a layman knows you do not really why this is and how to speed up the loading time.

Fortunately there are enough specialists WordPress and love the internet and if you are looking for something, then you will find here either. The blog of Thomas Homberger for example, I've discovered an extremely interesting series of articles:
More speed for WordPress - Performance Optimization

I got out of the whole only 2 things out that have really brought me was:

• My plugin list questioned and eventually cleaned out.
  What do I need there really?
• and I have the plugin cache DB Reloaded installed

Just these two things have improved the load time of my blog erheblicht. Then I stopped, I have the pictures stored on flickr.com to post here. Dear I'm inviting me the pictures in my blog up, as constantly waiting for Flickr ". Flickr.com is pretty lame.

So, the whole thing felt "Although everything good in, but how could I measure that? But, the problem has solutions. Paddy has an article on the Pingdom Tools attention with which I measure the load time of a website it is brilliant kann.Das that you can see here exactly what may be causing long load times exactly. Interestingly, it was not the objects included in WordPress, that I had not too many plugins or something. Mainly it was like already mentioned flickr.com, which has led me to the problem. There were also differences in the flickr plugins for WordPress, to see, for example in the sidebar's own Flickr gallery. Therefore, I have recently, the Flickr Badge widget plugin in operation.

later, after some testing and some plugins deactivations I could improve my loading time of BlogNotiz.De to a value from 1.8 to 2.8 seconds. This value varies, of course, play as the local Internet connection, the path to the server and the Internet connection of the server role. Slight differences possibly due to utilization of the compound are normal in this world. Furthermore, I can already tell some occupationally ....

But a charging time of less than three seconds compared to the previous 6-9 seconds, I find extremely well. It is worthwhile to clean out WordPress times and to make a fine tuning thoughts.

Here is my peak of 1.8 seconds in a photo
