I've gotten a report on what needs to be done to speed up my site. Now I just need to find someone that can do the optimizations.

Can anyone out there refer me to someone who can do these optimizations?

Thanks!

    Get the firebug yslow plugin for firefox, it will tell you what you need to fix, from experience it is going to be some or all of the following:

    - Use a CDN (content delivery network)
    - Install a cache plugin
    - Complete your CSS and Javascript files into 1 file
    - Make all your images into 1 CSS Sprite, hmmm big job unless it is automated
    - Delete the whitespace in your HTML file??
    - optimise your image sizes

    Here are a few...

    You don't need any report to optimize your website load speed if you are thinking of taking help from professional.

    Almost every developer/web designer knows enough techniques to improve website load time.

    Here are some advance options you might have,

    Remove blank spaces from the codes
    Optimize Database for smooth query
    CDN may double your load time.
    Remove codes which exists but do not serve any purpose.

    That will be enough to get 3x faster load time

      What is CDN?

    Most of the time, inline js and mysql codes, slow down the website, so you should optimize all those code and yes the files, those are unusable in directory should also be remove.

      I respectfully disagree that inline js slows down rendering time and if it does on any scale it's almost impossible to quantify the speed, maybe I am wrong but abstracting your js to another files serves better for organization IMO. Though it is important to add JavaScript below the content, so that the browser will render the HTML before executing anything in the <script> tags.

      However what can really slow down page render is multiple <script> tags, there is a process the browser goes through when encountering a <script> tag.
      • The browser initiates an instance of it's JavaScript interpreter.
      • The JavaScript interpreter compiles the JavaScript and adds it to the current page's global JavaScript pool.

      This process is ran for each <script> tag. This is a good reason why you should compile that script into one file, and place it below the markup.
