Make WordPress Faster
WordPress has become the best web platform which being used by million blogs all over the world. WordPress become famous because of its simplicity, clean, elegance, and user-friendly interface. It also being used over professional webmasters and beginners rookies.
But not all of the wordpress facility satisfy users. Some people said that wordpress is too heavy and has complicated PHP code to run on self hosted website. It may be OK and gives no problem among professional masters, but for the beginners who still first run his hosted site, it may be a problem.
WordPress is an open source platform. Everyone can participate in building and upgrading it. That’s what made wordpress grew very fast and stay up to date. But, the negative side is, developers may include some complicated script into wordpress. The wordpress itself serves full pack of PHP codes in purpose that Developers can modify Wordpress on every section and aspect.
Anyways, PHP scripts give problem on your server, so it does not too matter. But, the AJAX and JavaScripts sometime may slow people down while loading your site. Of course you still prefer visitor to your server, don’t you? So all you have to do is too reduce some javascript or move them all to your footer. Here is some tips to fasten your wordpress page load:
-
Disable Inactive Plugins
If you have too many unused plugins, i recommended you to disable it than leaving them abandoned. Why? Because some plugins puts additional javascripts on your page to load them. Usually, it is the PostRatings plugin
-
Move away <?php wp_head(); ?>
Some plugins load javascript on the beginning of the page (on the header). If you use free hosting service, it may slow you down a lot. So just remove the syntax
<?php wp_head();?>from your header.php on Theme Editor into everywhere on your active footer.php fil. So the visitor can see major parts of your contents while waiting the page until 100% completely loaded.
-
Remove <?php wp_head();?>
This is similar with the alternative above, but it completely strips any JavaScript code on your page. Just remove the syntax
<?php wp_head();?>
from the header.php . It maybe very useful for the site which have rich content but slow server connection. I apply this alternative on one of my blogs and it only loads 14KB per page, (before=56KB). It gives 400% bandwidth and time saving doesn’t it?
