Speed Up WordPress
-
Hello,
I am trying to speed up my wordpress site. I looked up the page speed on google page speed insights and there are a few high priority problems.My website is https://www.actionfigurefury.com
1.Leverage browser caching
This is what shows on google page speed insights:The following cacheable resources have a short freshness lifetime. Specify an expiration at least one week in the future for the following resources:

https://www.actionfigurefury.com/…/toycollectioninsurance-50×50.png (expiration not specified)My current .htaccess contans this:
## EXPIRES CACHING ## <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year" ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month" ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month" ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month" ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month" ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year" ExpiresDefault "access 2 days" </IfModule> ## EXPIRES CACHING # # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
The next thing that is high priority in goodle page speed insights is Combine images into CSS sprites
This is what page speed insights shows:The following images served from actionfigurefury.com should be combined into as few images as possible using CSS sprites. https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../arrowup.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../facebook-big.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../gallery-icon-small.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../navigation-current.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../navigation-line.gif https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../rss-big.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../search-button.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../social-bg.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../twitter-big.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../twitter.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../widget-title-bg.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../wrapper-bg.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../border.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../controls.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../loading_background.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../overlay.png https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../toycollectioninsurance-50x50.png
Then there is enable compression.
This is what shows on google page speed insights:

Compressing https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../jquery.js?... could save 59.7KiB (64% reduction). Compressing https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../style.css could save 23.3KiB (79% reduction). Compressing https://www.actionfigurefury.com/ could save 23KiB (80% reduction). Compressing https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js?... could save 12.1KiB (78% reduction).

Compressing https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../nivo-slider.css could save 1KiB (57% reduction).

Compressing https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../wpgroho.js?... could save 485B (52% reduction). Compressing https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../reset.css could save 327B (42% reduction).
The last high priority item is Defer parsing of JavaScript
This is what shows on page speed insights:
1.1MiB of JavaScript is parsed during initial page load. Defer parsing JavaScript to reduce blocking of page rendering. https://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yY/r/xCPq2WEDWGK.js (381.9KiB) https://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yc/r/jAVvWyD8JgB.js (225.9KiB) https://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yh/r/GfgJ_w7TcHw.js (88.1KiB) https://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../jquery.js?...
