I need someone who can make my site faster

[ly2 from WF]

I have a VPS with plenty of resources from HostGator, I pay $115 a month for it.

I took a page/site speed test and, as I already knew, my page speed is Bad: iOJ - As Easy As Uploading Can Get

Then I read this today: Google Search Rankings Now Consider Site Speed

So it's pretty clear that I need to get this situation fixed and fixed now. I've been putting it off for far too long.


If you can fix these issues for me, hit me up.

Do you have root access? Have you looked at any of your logs to see if there are any errors?

I do have root though I would be iffy about giving someone root unless I really trusted them.

You can see the results here: Web page performance test results

Just shrink your pictures (lower resolution) and you should be in good shape. Page loaded fine (< 2 seconds) for me.

Looking at the source though, you've got 20 or so js/css files that are included. Are they all really necessary?

Another of your issues is likely WP, you've got a shitton of db connecitons made for each page load. You're on a VPS so it could be worse, but if you try to cache the pages you'll have much better luck ... then again, your html isn't your bottleneck.

Your image optimizations aren't all that bad, just that you have a lot of them. Obviously, if you went with some representative clipart and various monochrome colors you could improve the image load times significantly.

I think that you are at the mercy of the nature of you theme for how all the js makes it come together. Your tests provide a lot of statistics, but little recommendation on how to improve it. The web developer toolbar for FF can help you quite a bit. The speed report tool leads you to a site that at least offers some assistance on what you might do to improve things try it out there:

Check these:

1) obtrusive JavaScript/AJAX code;
2) third party frameworks (jQuery, mootools, YUI, etc);
3) Flash widgets;

Ditto YSlow. Excellent tool.

If you have the site set up with Google Webmaster Tools (which you should), there is a new feature called Site Performance. You can find it under the "Labs" section of your GWT site profile.

It will give you a performance overview, as well as some page speed suggestions. You can also download Google's page speed browser add-on.



Also suggest moving this to Traffic/Content section

The End.

No need to pay someone for a few easy changes.

It's an easy job for someone who knows what they're doing. How much is your time worth?

Start with enabling gzipping and add expires headers for all the CSS, JavaScript and images.
