How to Improve the loading speed of your blog

The loading speed of the blog can beat our intentions negatively to achieve and maintain our visitors. This factor influences spent on the site of people who come to your blog, since nobody is willing to wait "hours" until it finishes loading. The loading speed of the site also involved in the analysis do search engines determine the ranking of your site and on page SEO optimization, so that an appropriate charge rate can affect the positioning of your blog on Google.

As our blog grows we incorporate photos, videos etc. and the site begins to take longer than usual to load, so come when we need to optimize charge time using tools designed for this.

Not you, but I'm addicted to having too many installed plugins and is something that does not help in speeding up the loading time of the blog, so occasionally I have to make revisions and eliminate all who I am using the "conflict" or you really do not need.

But this principle of "clean" does not apply to all these wonderful applications. There are some that are really needed and therefore must maintain. Today I'm going to share some that will help with loading speed of your blog and which I consider among the permanent teeth.

Before I share you views on the subject, I recommend that you first try as many plugins do not work well in all subjects or are not compatible with each other. This "trial and error" will help you define what works best for you and of course, remember the maxim: whenever you go to make changes to your blog respáldalo before.

W3 Total Cache

This plugin makes a cache of the pages of your blog and the "delivery" without accessing the database. Although you have to load the php engine to "deliver" the files caheados "has many more options than the WP Super Cahe although many has not worked. For me personally it did not work and returned to the WP Super Cahe.

WP Minify

This plugin combines and compresses the JS and CSS files to improve the load time. We must not do anything to configure it, just install it.

Autoptimize

This plugin compresses the JS as CSS but includes other options such as compressing the HTML code.

WP Smush.it

If you are using a lot of photos this plugin is for you.

This plugin helps you with the images. After you install it whenever you upload a photo this plugin automatically processed, compressed. No need to configure or make any other trick. The pictures you have in your blog you should process them one by one manually, but worth it especially if your site has many pictures, you'll be amazed at how much reduces the size of your blog.

An alternative to this plugin is the Online Image Optimizer, a free service to compress images online. Once optimized can download pictures to your desktop for future use.

WP Touch

We all know that many people surf the Internet from your phone and if you have a plugin to speed up the loading of your blog on mobile, you stayed in the last century.

This plugin automatically transforms your WP blog in a template style application that can be seen from an iPhone, Smart Phone, iPod touch, and so on.

cSprites

Automatically compress your images into a single "sprite".

For example, if you have 15 photos on your page, the browser will have to go to the server 15 times (so-called http request), but if you create a sprite as you only need to "go" once. This solution does not affect your pictures or how your visitors see.

Of course not have to install all these plugins, select the ones that really need, "tests" and defined according to the needs of your own site.

To help you choose and avoid those who do not need to install, I'll leave a link to the new page of Google to measure the speed of loading of the sites ("page speed test").

In the next post will include other "details" with which you can manually further improve loading speed of your blog and with it the experience of people who visit you. Needless to say that these solutions also help to improve the ranking of your blog.
