Suggestions for Speeding up My Site

[Danny]

I've done all I know how. Is there anything you guys could suggest for speeding my site up?
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/110518_FQ_MRQ5/
i used to get something like 0.700 but i dont anymore for some reason

[pmeenan]

Just a quick reminder that I rcently switched the default browser for testing from IE7 to IE8 so unless you were explicitly selecting IE8 previously the difference might be from the different browsers.

[Danny]

thanks. i think i still might have misconfigured something though
might my htaccess have something to do with it?

1. check the time of your system how long this needed to generate the output endtime - starttime = time of the generator

2. Rendertime is a value of valid html and css too

Quote:HTML-Validierungsfehler 15 Errors, 1 warning(s) CSS Type HTML-Check CSS level 2.1 CSS-Fehler Profil CSS 2.1 68,Warnungen 1367

3. reduce the Request's -> base64 encoded Images instead of url images
4. reduce calling of external source

Danny,

Excuse my lower level of expertise here, but it seems to me that you have a rather lengthy and redundant .htaccess file.

Would it help if you were to place some of those directives in your httpd config?

Just a thought open for critique.

Regards,

Joe

i fixed the errors on the page that I could. the only errors that are there now is the fact that one of my post titles uses an accent on one of the letters, and FB which never validates, but i need it

i looked that up in wordpress plugins, because i didnt know what that was. is this something that can do that? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/imag...her_notes/
4. reduce calling of external source

thanks, but i'm on shared hostgator hosting

[joe524]

In other words, you don't have root access into server to edit httpd config? Everything is FTP into .htaccess?

yes

That is the speed of your wp installation. A slow System cannot produce high speed output.

wordpress specific themes like howto make it with wp you would better ask in wp community.

Your facebook part makes yout site slow !

i wouldnt say my site is slow, but yes, facebook slows my site down, but there is nothing anyone can do about that at this point. just looking for ways to improve my site speed, running wordpress on a shared hosting plan.
i think it's appropriate to ask here, no?
