Website is slow

Yes, thanks, I know and I was wondering if my un-updated plugins would also cause the speed problem.

I just updated bbPress and Jigoshop and suddenly my slider and dropdowns (in menu) were gone! It was the strangest thing. I will try this again when I’m up in the middle of the night and sure that no one is visiting my website. I got a bit afraid now.

Anyway, website is speeding up a LITTLE bit, but still a long way to go.

Changing the theme is also something I will do when I’m up late at night.

Also, try adding this to your .htaccess file…

#Begin gzip and deflate
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css application/x-javascript text/plain text/xml image/x-icon
</IfModule>

This compresses files at the server level before it sends out to the browsers.

Also, elminiating a lot of useless plugins can really help.

I should point out, back up everything first before you make changes…just to be safe.

Sounds scary. Will try soon.

Hey, never heard of Google Page Speed before. Got a 70, can do better.
