WordPress slow (according to Google) - any ideas?
I want to speed up my WordPress blog since according to Google my page speed is aprox 73 out of 100. All my competitors have this metric over 80 - that makes me concerned.
So far I have done this:
1) Deleted bunch of spam blog comments
2) Deleted useless/outdated plugins and themes
3) Installed WP super cache plugin
What else should I do? So far, no change at all. I will try another host anytime soon as well, but so far I would like to tweak my on-page.
Here's what google suggest me to do:
1) Serve resources from a consistent URL
The following resources have identical contents, but are served from different URLs. Serve these resources from a consistent URL to save 1 request(s) and 212.5KiB.
The following resources have identical contents, but are served from different URLs. Serve these resources from a consistent URL to save 1 request(s) and 84.6KiB.
I don't even know what plugins or thing is causing it. Might be digg digg floating sidebar (since it's my one and only social plugin).
2) Enable compression
- Compressing http://mysite.com/.../jquery.js?... could save 58.8KiB (64% reduction).
- Compressing http://mysite.com/.../foundation.min.js?... could save 51KiB (71% reduction).
- Compressing http://mysite.com/.../foundation.min.css?... could save 38KiB (84% reduction).
- Compressing http://mysite.com/.../style.css?... could save 10KiB (72% reduction).
- Compressing http://mysite.com/.../jquery.form.min.js?... could save 8.7KiB (61% reduction).
- Compressing http://mysite.com/.../jquery.lightbox.min.js?... could save 6.9KiB (66% reduction).
3) Minify javascript & CSS
Again, Google shows me that I have 4-5 errors. Similar to above. How to do minify CSS on WP?
4) Leverage browser caching
- http://forms.aweber.com/form/80/186580.js (expiration not specified)
- http://cdn.api.twitter.com/.../count.json?... (14.4 minutes)
- http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js (15.8 minutes)
- http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js?_=1373851372 (15.8 minutes)
- http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js (30 minutes)
- http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js?_=1373851372 (30 minutes)
- https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js (30 minutes)
- https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js?_=1373851372 (30 minutes)
5) Defer parsing of javascript
432.9KiB of JavaScript is parsed during initial page load. Defer parsing JavaScript to reduce blocking of page rendering.
Actually there are few more errors, but first I would like to fix those (above).
If you know how to speed up wordpress or remove those errors then it would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
