Ok, good to know. Thank you!

11MB is very, very (…very…) bad, yes.

Yikes!

Thank you for the contact. I will contact them. I’m willing to learn.

Thank you again,

Deborah

Wow! I had no idea it was so bad! I am planning on replacing the SWF with HTML5. So that will reduce the MB to about 11MB. Is that still bad?

The short version: PhotoMobil is entirely unoptimized for performance; and, while images are a big part of the problem, they are in no way the only ones.

I’ll go ahead and implement Cloudfare. But would be so grateful of an indicator of what else I should tackle apart from the SWF? Could it be the long list of posts?

Thank you so much for your help!

I am still getting spam registrations on this site, even though I have Stop Spammer Registrations, Akismet, Typepad Antispam, Wanguard and Si Captcha plugins activated:

Any suggestions please for blocking these spammers?

Thank you!

Thank you AJ. I’d be extremely grateful if you could have a look at the site and possibly give insight as to why I am getting physical and virtual memory usage peaks a couple of times a day. The peaks don’t seem to be related to site usage.

About Cloudfare’s free version, it requires you to change your nameservers to theirs. And this worried me. Is it Ok to do this in your opinion.

Thanks so much.

Oh I see! Thank you!!!

Re. Photon, I see it’s part of Jetpack. I’ve just disabled Jetpack, although I miss some of the things it offers, because it was using up so much memory (according to P3 Plugin Performance Profiler). Is there an independent plugin which does what Photon does?

Thanks so much for replying.

Actually I can answer my own question. I have been scanning the site with the P3 – Plugin Performance Profiler. The My Posts Order plugin was taking up quite a lot of memory but in fact the Simple Custom Post Order plugin has cut down memory usage significantly.

Oops silly question! You just ask WordPress to display more posts on the page!!

Thanks for your reply Chad. Feeling very silly. I hadn’t understood what list view was and now I do!

That’s so kind of you to take the time to do that! Thank you so much.

So it seems that Google Page Insights is not always accurate.

Thanks very much for the help in this thread.

Here it is:

Thanks so much.

OK, I removed the Register link by taking the following code out of sidebar.php.

Hopefully this will solve the problem. Thanks for the help.

<?php wp_register(); ?>
			<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>

Wow thank you! I had never noticed that link as it is so far down on the page and I certainly didn’t put it there.

I can’t seem to find a straightforward way of removing the link in the META. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

I added the code to .htaccess.

The page speed didn’t change and the site still reports gzip as not being enabled. So, as you say that the metric sites are sometimes inaccurate, maybe it is enabled?

Thanks for your help. Any other suggestions gratefully received.

I’d be so grateful for a reply? Does this plugin work? Why do I not see the options?
