benchmarking and optimization of a WordPress site

[thijse]

Hi,

Since my WordPress blog was loading quite slowly, but mostly because it was fun, I benchmarked and optimized my website with a range of free open-source tools. I made much use of Webpagetest.org, as it gives a lot of information.

Please let me know if you find this useful, and if you agree with the conclusions that I draw:
