Slow site speed

  • Hi guys,

    I’m frustrated with my hosting company and they continue to tell me it is the size of the images of my site and partially the coding which I don’t diisagree with, but I feel like there should be able to do things to help speed things up. They suggested to compress the content through cPanel which I’m scared to do. What do you guys think? Any help?

    i have not compressed images through cpanel previously.
    i normally compress images before loading into media library.

    have you tried the P3 plugin to test performance of plugins?

    I will begin to compress in Photoshop. I have not used P3 but I will be soon

    swagsyndicate,

    I just happened to read the thread you opened in the WordPress group in LinkedIn. The advice you were getting there was very good. If you’re getting very slow DNS response times, it doesn’t matter what you do in WordPress.

    But in addition to that, definitely make sure your plugins aren’t slowing the site down, optimize your images, enable a caching plugin, etc. There are lots of factors that can lead to a slow site.
