Great post - do you find that lazy loading makes much of a difference?

Nick Nelson   Feb 18 2013   Flag

Lazy loading does well for things like your social share buttons (you can do this using DiggDiggWP plugin. Did very well for my site when I moved DiggDigg from regular to lazy loading...

Not by much, but every seconds matters

@Vinoth, I think your "Choosing a good web host" link is a bit weak, if I wrote a detailed post on choosing a good web host, interested in linking to it? (11 year former top 10 host executive) - Seem the SEO world and everyone needs a good link on choosing a good web host..

Come up with the post. If I really like it, I link to it

Honest, non-bias, and accurate. I'm simply looking to improve the hosting industry, keep everyone honest if you will.

Like it Vinoth - and good list of improvements there. Not quite sure how I am going to merge my CSS files into one, as various plugins like to have their own! But point taken that it must increase overhead. Will look into it.

:D

Good stuff. I've noticed a lot of speed optimization tips include WordPress. Is it just me or is this popular blogging platform inherently bloated and slow?
