This document discusses caching strategies and the Alternative PHP Cache (APC). It introduces different caching strategies such as where to cache, what to cache, and how long to cache. It also discusses APC which is a free PHP extension that acts as an opcode cache and supports user data caching. The document provides instructions on installing and configuring APC, and tips for using it effectively such as caching strings over arrays and using long time to live settings to avoid fragmentation. Case studies are presented showing how caching can optimize feed systems.

Today, a web page can be delivered to desktop computers, televisions, or handheld devices like tablets or phones. While a technique like responsive design helps ensure that our web sites look good across that spectrum of devices we may forget that we need to make sure that our web sites also perform well across that same spectrum. More and more of our users are shifting their Internet usage to these more varied platforms and connection speeds with some moving entirely to mobile Internet. In this session we’ll look at the tools that can help you understand, measure and improve the web performance of your web sites and applications. The talk will also discuss how new server-side techniques might help us optimize our front-end performance. Finally, since the best way to test is to have devices in your hand, we’ll discuss some tips for getting your hands on them cheaply. This presentation builds upon Dave’s “Optimization for Mobile” chapter in Smashing Magazine’s “The Mobile Book.” This talk was given at the Responsive Web Design Summit hosted by Environments for Humans.

Deciding upon the type of content management system required for your website is a crucial task, however it is upto the user to choose between the top CMS i.e. WordPress, Joomla or Drupal.

WordPress Performance 101 provides tips to optimize WordPress site performance in 3 sentences: It discusses how poor performance can negatively impact users, money and SEO, and outlines steps to diagnose a site using tools to measure speed before and after installing caching plugins like W3 Total Cache and a CDN like Cloudflare. Proper server configuration, hosting, plugin usage, image optimization and caching are emphasized as ways to boost speed for a better user and search engine experience.

Learning how to speed up your website is one of the most important things you can do as fast loading speed is necessary for website success.

With the growth of mobile devices, performance is now more important than ever. But the web is actually getting slower! Fight back by learning how to monitor performance, the critical rendering path and finding where to optimize.

The document provides tips for optimizing the speed of a WordPress site. It recommends benchmarking loading times to identify performance issues, prioritizing problems by severity and fix time, reducing page size by limiting posts per page and using progressive loading. Other tips include minimizing social widgets and external fonts, optimizing images, avoiding bloated themes, minifying CSS and JS, enabling compression, leveraging browser caching, moving scripts to footers, caching content, and using object caching and CDNs. Regular optimization is important to see ongoing rewards in site speed.

This document summarizes an presentation about optimizing WordPress site speed. It introduces the presenter Ivan Kristianto and his background with WordPress. It then discusses how fast a site needs to be, with metrics on loading times from various studies. The bulk of the document outlines specific techniques for optimizing WordPress sites for speed, including server configuration options, plugins like LiteSpeed Cache, and settings within that plugin. It then shares results of speed tests on the presenter's site using tools like GTMetrix, Pingdom, and WebPageTest to demonstrate how these optimizations were able to make the site fast even on a shared hosting plan.

1. The document discusses speed and security as the active and passive components of a WordPress site. It provides tips to optimize speed through good hosting, CDNs, minification, and caching. 2. For security, it recommends prevention through regular backups, security plugins, and hardening measures. Common vulnerabilities include outdated plugins/themes and lack of security updates or measures. 3. Testing tools like GTmetrix and PageSpeed Insights can evaluate page speed, but their recommendations shouldn't always be followed. Ignoring site speed can lead to abandonment issues.

This document discusses how caching can improve website speed. It begins by explaining how websites load files sequentially and sets a goal of under 2 seconds. It recommends getting a fast web host as the first step, then optimizing images, code minification/concatenation, and lazy loading. There are different types of caches like browser, server, and memcache caches that store content to reduce load times. Common caching plugins like WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache are recommended, or paying for WP Rocket for e-commerce sites. The key steps are to get a fast host, optimize the site, then cache it to improve performance.

This document discusses techniques for improving perceived performance of websites. It explains that perceived performance is how quickly a site seems to load from a user's perspective, rather than actual technical performance metrics. Some key techniques discussed include using skeleton screens, progressive enhancement, and showing loading progress to trick users into thinking a site is loading faster than it actually is. The document also advocates for measuring real user performance data through APIs to identify actual bottlenecks and prioritize improvements.

Front-end performance optimizing involves optimizing a website's HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image files to achieve the fastest possible loading speed. This includes minimizing HTTP requests by combining files, compressing files, optimizing code by removing unused code and errors, leveraging browser caching, and parallelizing downloads across domains. The document outlines nine techniques for front-end optimization, such as optimizing file sizes, reducing download size through compression and caching, and minimizing HTTP requests through file combining and CSS sprites.

This document discusses optimizing website performance and speed. It notes that slow page speeds can negatively impact key metrics like conversion rates. It then outlines several standard optimization methods like reducing HTTP requests, using content delivery networks, caching files, and image/file compression. The document introduces HTTP/2 and its benefits over HTTP/1.1. It proposes automating performance optimization with a proxy server that intercepts requests, applies optimizations like payload reduction and caching, and returns optimized content to users. Results show the proxy reduced page sizes by 70% and load times by over 30%.

This document summarizes Andy Melichar's presentation at WordCamp Omaha about optimizing WordPress performance. He began with introductions and explained his background in web development. He then discussed common performance issues hosting companies see and why performance matters for user experience and revenue. Andy outlined key areas to optimize like WordPress plugins/themes, web server configuration, and using content delivery networks. He demonstrated the significant impact of enabling caching, compression, browser caching and switching to Nginx on a test site's performance. In the end, Andy emphasized there are many options to try and the WordPress community can help with configurations.
