    …this explains why WordPress is very slow to load pages.

    Now, I’m no expert, but it looks like it’s all the CSS and JS files that are slowing down the site.

    So my question is- how do I stop those files from loading automatically, and is it possible to combine all those stylesheets into one?

  • I love this idea of stripping the css file and making one. I have pasted the code into Functions.php in the wp-includes folder. I put in the correct css… in this case nggallery.css, and get an error that the call is invalid, and my site does not load. All i did was paste the code snippet, and replace the css with the nggallery.css.

    Is there a particular place in functions.php for that code. I can send you what I did if that will help:

    add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘my_deregister_styles’, 100 );

    function my_deregister_styles() {
    wp_deregister_style( ‘nggallery.css’ );
    // deregister as many stylesheets as you need…
    }

    Is what I put in Functions.php

    Please advise…

    Thanks.
